Mock all you want, but it's pretty easy. There's no special chant or saying or ceremony. There's a book called the Bible...it lines it out for you. But, I figure that you'll just call it a book of myths and stories and anyone who believes in it is an idiot. Cool. No worries.

take your proselytizing elsewhere, Jesus Boy. Christianity, and all religion, is a delusion and cop out.

To be fair believing in Jesus is probably +EV if there's the tiniest non zero probability that he exists, since there is such an intense negative payoff (eternity in hell) for not believing and being wrong

You don't get 5th in a Tourney while Mindlessly clicking buttons. He probably Thought you were weak and tried exploiting you post flop. You just did not understand what he was doing because you were mindlessly , calling him aggressively.
From everything I've read this kid is indeed a sicko and I'm sure he played well to go deep. However, the bolded statement couldn't be any more false, I can't even begin to name how many idiots have won tournaments/had multiple deep runs by doing that exact thing.

Misinterprets history. Hitler was stupid; he was mindlessly clicking buttons. He simply created and maintained, for a while, a social environment where EVERYONE ELSE could be deranged and evil, if that's what they wanted to do.

Anyone with a reasonably deep understanding of the world war knows Hitler was a half-wit.

Pascals Wager is dumb. You do not know for fact if god rewards those who believe. We have texts written by humans that he does but nobody knows if he punishes non-believers and rewards believers.

Then comes the factor of feigning disbelief. You truly do not belief but follow Pascals Wager in the off chance it is right. How does this put you in the eyes of god? Will he accept you for saying you belief even though you have doubt? Would he take a non-believer who follows a sinless life?

I wouldn't say Hitler was a stupid. He was not a war strategist thats for sure. He did however recognize what the Treaty of Versailles was doing to Germany and took advantage. After using it to bring him to power he started to break it with cunning. Had he not been drunk on power and listened to his generals he would not have looked so stupid.

Theoretically say the kid can make 100 hour but can only play 35 hrs a week (because sometimes the game is not that good). That comes out to 150k a year. Very good money but not really that much for someone who thinks that highly of their skill...
Not everyone is in it to "get rich." If he's able to make a living to support both himself and any family he may have while doing something he enjoys, then he's in a better situation than most people.

Everyone would obviously rather be making millions of dollars than not, but it's possible that the $2/$5 grind is a stake that is the perfect combination of: enough fish, high enough $/hr, and low enough variance to keep him happy (and sane) and able to do this for a living.

Cunning? Hitler was a half-wit who couldn't solve a Rubic's cube if he spent his whole life trying. He was a pathological liar, nothing more, nothing less. He created a situation where the people around him could act on their own evil tendencies and anyone who wanted to could join in. It didn't flow down from him, he just allowed it to flow out of them.

OK so someone less deranged and only killed 50 people accepts Jesus and changes his ways is go to go for heaven?and someone who is extremely selfless and devotes their life to helping others (say a doctor who treats poor people for free and gives away all his money to feed house and provide medicine to poor people) who doesn't believe in Jesus rots in hell?

You don't need the whole Bible. You just need the Gospel of John. In it the truth has been declared that God loves us so much that he has sent his only son to save us. All we have to do to achieve salvation is to be "born again" by embracing Jesus Christ as our one and only Savior.

All we have to do to be forgiven is to so the above well our deepest intentions. If we wish we can choose to be physically baptized again (or for the very first time) but this isn't really necessary. What is important is what happens inside our hearts

I speak the Truth. There is no other Truth.

So let me get this straight: God sacrificed himself to himself in order to save me from what he's going to do to me if I don't believe in him?

It's s book written by 2000 year old shepherds. Why you think it's divine is your delusion, don't try to bore us with it.

There are some people in my town of Las Vegas that are comfortable with grinding 2-5. Some of them are very good, much better than many high stakes pros.

The high stakes pros be warned. These grinders (who at 2-5 may make more than many executives and lawyers) will ascend to the top in just a few years time. The fact that they have the God-like patience, iron clad discipline and the strategic conservatism to stick to "what works" means that they have the emotional intelligence to succeed where many of the degenerate minions at the high stakes can't achieve on a sustained basis.

Many high stakes players are broke. They are dependent on others for stakes and loans. They will become obsolete. The world's greatest players are poised to ascend to the top in a few years time. And they will dominate for decades, even if, for now, they are just "poor grinders' at 2-5. They will have the last laugh.

When you are finally unable to impose your religious beliefs on the rest of society, it's not called "persecution," it's called "enlightenment."

According to some rumors, the Kindle poker eBook writer Puggy Neutron is more than one person. Reportedly, he is a collaboration of some of the best Asian 2-5 players in "Sin City". This is my first and last comment on this subject.

"Enlightenment" comes from the word "light".

Jesus is the light. The sooner you accept this reality, the better it is for your soul.

Even prostitutes can reach salvation by accepting Christ. Jesus is the all forgiving God.

Of course, sinners must change their ways too. Salvation is not license to continue to sin.

Lucky 7. This is my 7th and last post in this thread and forum.

God sent Jesus his only son to save all of us. He suffered like no other human before or since. Let us show Him or appreciation. Let us embrace Him as our Messiah. All we have to do to have salvation is to accept Him in our hearts...then do good deeds for the rest of our lives.

Jesus Christ is the Royal Flush on a board of fullhouse, flush, straight flush, and quads possibilities played multi way and capped every round.

Good bye and God bless you all.
