The Gospel According to Hoyle

Jesus decided to sit out the hand. He was down a fair bit, and there were really too many at the table tonight for a good poker game. Besides, although he dared not tell anyone, the gift of prophesy did have a way of taking the fun from the game . . . unto you a king is given . . . to fill that inside straight . . . I fold! And what was Judas getting up to with his “behold, I lay my hand before thee” flourishes as he took pot after pot? Perhaps he too was cheating, but on that the future was not so clear.
