Your chance to be God

[Warpe]

If you could write "The 10 Commandments of Poker", what would they be? This could probably end up sticky worthy.

Winner gets elocution lessons from Charlton Heston - and a free Uzi with a lifetime supply of ammunition.

[Warpe]

I think no. 1 should be:

"Thou shalt not draw to an inside straight."

[Andy Holt]

"Thou shalt not play out of thy bankroll."

[ekillian]

I think no. 1 should be:

"Thou shalt not draw to an inside straight."

What if you have 23:1?

[Andy Holt]

Thread hijacked!

[Fortune 500]

Thou shalt not let the fish keep his money.

Thou shalt not give 'Rilla admin priveledges.

[ProZachNation]

Thou shalt not bluff at the calling station.

[_KO_]

Thou shalt covet thy neighbors stack.

[AHiltz]

I don't believe in God.

I thought we were educated people here???

[lamaros]

Educated = faithless? Aiee.

You can still have your chance to be Him.

I don't think any adult believes in Santa Claus, but plenty of adults pretend to be him.

[BIGandRICH]

[Lukie]

There's one I want to point out in particular..

8. thou shalt not teach the fish

They are learning, slowly but surely, no need to accelerate that process..

Thou shalt have fun at thy poker table. Very important..

[BIGandRICH]

My own version of the LP:

Our Father, who art the Dealer,
Holywood be thy name.
Thy Straight Flush come.
Thy bad beats be done,
On Pokerstars as it is in Party Poker.
Give us this day our daily buy-in.
And forgive us our bluffs,
As we forgive those who bullshit against us.
Lead us not into All-ins with TPTK,
But deliver us from shitty beats on the river.
For thine is the Double Up,
And the Final Table,
And the “Congradulations, you have won the Tournament”,
For ever and ever.
Amen
