#Wasn't that Lee Watkinsons wife (girlfriend) saying make Lee a believer lord? That was a strange thing to happen in a poker tournament.

Lee Watkinson goes all in
Jerry Yang calls

Lee's girlf: C'mon Father. In Jesus's name. No weapon formed
against us shall prosper (best line ever, imo)

Jerry: Cmon Lord. You know Your purpose for me.

Lee's girlf : C'mon Lord. Make Lee a believer

Jerry: Father. In the name of Jesus Christ. Let me win this one.

Then, shaking Lee's hand as he leaves, Jerry says, "Pray for me."

i've said it before -- the appropriate time for these prayers
is BEFORE you make your decision. i can't imagine God up there
mystically rearranging the deck on the fly as he listens to
their prayers, calculating sincerity, intentions, etc...

Yeah, here's God:

"Oh! Did you hear her prayer, Michael?! Let's make that next
card the queen of spades, giving him an inside straight draw!"

* poof * queen of spades

"Oh! Look! But Jerry is still holding fast in sincerity and
faith! How charming! No inside straight for you, Lee! My
boy is Jerry!"

what kind of universe would we be living in...

Damn hit and runners. He makes me sick.

the world is quite [censored] up enough already ty. inapropriate behaviour at the tables (rainkhan or jerry yang) should incur a time out if they persist [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

thanks for highlighting some of the more obvious theological problems with Yangs 'prayers'.

However, do be aware that "The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD" (Prov 16:33). Something to think about next time you get a bad beat.
