Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Lyrics of old American folk song 'Run on', popularized by Moby on 'Play' (1999) and Johnny Cash posthumously on 'American V: A Hundred Highways' (2006).
I certainly hope the authors of that song didn't have it on good authority, but rather based their opinion on hearsay and rumour. The idea of a vengeful God hunting me down along with the liars and the back biters(?) doesn't appeal much to me I must admit. I will have to hope that God is more forgiving than his followers give him credit for.
Even so, I think it is a fair assumption that it is not the God almighty I should look to for getting AA in the pocket, or rivering the flush. He is probably busy elsewhere with all the wars he has going (Homer Simpson: "He can't be everywhere."). Instead, being Scandinavian, I shall look to the old Norse religion, those gods are a bit more realistic in their stance on cheating, lying and fornicating (poker clearly belongs in this category), basically they are fine with it. Loke the prankster will be my go-to-guy here. Not afraid of the odd shape or sex change to pull a good joke, often resulting in violence, misery and the odd monstrous offspring, he is just the kind of fellow who will enjoy dishing out random 2-outers and suckouts on undeserving humans.
Clearly, there is a loyalty problem here. Loke is not exactly famous for sticking by his friends when the shit hits the fan, so I will be careful not to invest too much time endearing myself to him. Also, he is currently tied up by the entrails of his brother while a poisonous snake drivels venom on his head. This is due to some issues with Odin and some other tough dudes of Asgard he used to be friendly with. So, even as I count on him to bring me the goods, I will try to keep myself prepared for the day he turns his back on me and downswings me.
Maybe I'll just see how it works out without committing myself religiously. Also, Partypoker is very careful to stress the fact that the cards are dealt fairly, and their Random Number Generator should be top notch, so I don't know if God or Loke could really help me here, even if they wanted to.
Anyway, Loke has been gunning for me this month, and continues to do so. Results at 600NL is +$1800 two days ago, and +$600 yesterday, only 2000 hands total, as I've tried to keep it down to 4 tables at 600NL so far. Keep smilin' bro!
