What happens when poker-players go to hell?

[EjnarPik]

One of my friends said they would have to play forever, and be drawn out on every hand.

I think they will be forced to play Omaha high/low - fixed limit for play money, until the end of time.

What do you think?

Purgatory must be 150 years of .50/$1 limit HE on PartyPoker with a mouse configured for a left-handed person and a $25 bankroll.

You guys remember that old Twilight Zone episode where the gambler dies and finds himself in the Great Casino in the Afterlife? He always wins. Every throw of the dice, every hand, every spin of the wheel. At first he thinks it is great but then he realizes just how much it sucks to win every time. And he complains to the boss that Heaven isn't as much fun as he thought it would be and well...you can guess what the boss says.

You know that feeling, you're in a big tournament second or third in chips, and its bubble time. You flop top full-house and go all-in and get called by the chip leader with just the pair on board with an ace-kicker. The board makes quads and his ace kicker knocks you out.

You feel like that all the time.

Hmmm. I can think of so many situations where a second-best hand would just kill you (um.. if you weren't already in hell). But I can't help but wonder, would Hell have a Bad Beat Jackpot?

Hmmm. Prob'ly not. (and if they did, you would watch your jackpot chip being dropped into the box for eternity and NEVER win it... but I guess we aren't talking about real life here.)

That twilight zone is my fav. episode.

When poker players go to hell, they have to play heads up, 7 stud hi/lo with the devil, who is an expert. If you win, you get to go to heaven. Now, the devil has a tell: he clicks his hooves twice when he has a monster. Unfortunately, when arrive, Teddy KGB is in front of you in line to play the devil, and he alerts the devil of this tell in return for a bag of Oreos and JFK's autograph. When you play the devil, sixth street gives you 3 aces (hidden), and four a a six low. The devil shows 34KK, and you make your six low on 7th street. He check raises representing the wheel, but because he hasn't clicked his heels, you put him on kings up, trying to bluff you out of your rightful lwo end of the pot. You reraise, he reraises, and you go back and forth until you're all in, only to see the devil flip over A25.

You now have to stay in hell and deal hold 'em at a dirty Indian casino, where the highest limits are 1/2 and nobody speaks English or has showered in weeks.

They're forced to play limit hold 'em tournaments.
