Tao of Poker

Call Me Jesus... the WBT Hits Pacific Poker

"Definition of Faith: not wanting to know what is true." - Nietzsche

So it's true. I'm Jesus. With that said, congrats to Otis in addition to Mean Gene and Boy Genius. Thanks to Iggy for the grunt work. OK that's it. I came in 20th place and didn't get many cards. The only highlight was my attempt to play incognito after I grew rabid with frustration trying to get a decent user name on Pacific Poker. Their 8 character rule was pissing me off, and you know how much I like rules. So I decided that I'll try to play under a different name to disguise my style of play, and perhaps I'd get to steal a pot or two. I considered trying to mock my fellow bloggers and play under names not so identical nameds like: HDooble or AlCanHang or GirlGenius or NiceGene. Alas, I decided upon Jesus. And when I got to my first table, I tried to see if I could pull off my disguise.

Table 1... The Players:
Seat 1: Cheap Thrills
Seat 2: Maudie
Seat 3: CanesFan
Seat 4: Chicago Phil
Seat 5: NemoD
Seat 6: EMPTY
Seat 7: PDooley

I decided to try ou tmy acting chops on Boy Genius. Here's the chat, and in case you're very slow... I am Jesus69:

And that's not all. I even hammed it up for Boy Genius... and asked him what the Hammer was!! And he responded! Here's more hilarious chat:

Dealer: (Hand# 10788230) Jesus69 won $840, didn't show hand
MaudieB: i thought Jesus was supposed to be charitable...
Jesus69: how do you show cards?
