He learned how to take 'em at Hold'Em
The Temecula social worker who won $8.25 million playing poker had
been forbidden from playing as a child.

When Temecula social worker Jerry Yang was a child, his father forbade
him to gamble, prohibiting even checkers and dice.

After Yang, 39, married, his wife disapproved of his burgeoning poker
habit.

But he was defiant, and it paid off - big time. Yang won the Texas
Hold'Em title and $8.25 million last week at the World Series of Poker
in Las Vegas. Now his wife, Sue, approves of his playing, a small
victory in itself, Yang said.

To some people, nothing could be more exciting than winning a hand of
Texas hold-em on the river. The adrenaline rush, the thrill of victory...
all adds up to a great time.

There is nothing wrong with gambling, but how do you know if you're
not addicted? Mr. Yang won 8.25 million last week but he will lose it
all next week. This is the real life of the gamblers.
