I think no. 1 should be:
"Thou shalt not draw to an inside straight."
"Thou shalt not play out of thy bankroll."
What if you have 23:1?Quote:

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
Shall not play drunk or high, BAD TIMES!
