If this is true then both God and Jerry Yang should be banned from poker for life for hacking the random shuffle generator of "real life". It's unclear whether he hacked the dealer's brain to make him shuffle in a certain way, hacked the atoms of the cards to make them change secretly or spied on everyone's hole cards and whispered in Jerry Yang's ear what he should do. No matter how he did it, all the players Jerry Yang beat should be reimbursed a certain % of Yang's winnings. If strong action isn't taken this may mean the end of poker as we know it. How many people are going to want to play a rigged game?

Collusion with God does seem to take the challenge out of it.

Haha, this would be awesome. Praying Christians getting kicked out of casinos everywhere would have no argument besides "Come on guys, its not like this stuff really works!"

Yes, I think this is in fact the best evidence we have for god's existence.

Moneymaker is a Christian. I think that evidence is even better.

[Actually this may be good for the state of poker in the U.S.]

But I don't know, I was always thinking nothing has convinced me more to be an atheist than poker. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Test:
Everyone pray to a different God this week and post your stats. If you don't believe in one, pray to support.

Can I just pray for excruciating pain and death to be visited upon my opponents? I mean, I'm going to anyway, just wondering if I should bother taking notes.

In the World Series of Poker, there is a ladies-only event, and a seniors event. Next year they should have a fundamentalist Christian-only event. Then they can all pray to God and whoever wins is judged the most blessed. Then 10% of all the prizes are given to charity, and the rest is donated to the Republican party.

It's a good thing for Jerry that no one else thought to ask God for help at the WSOP.

I'm sure they did, God just boomswitched Jerry, because he was the only one with the balls to be loud and obnoxious about it. Who's ever more in everyone else's face with their praying is going to get more God-riggedness, obviously. It's a bit like a sponsorship deal.
