JC_Saves, what does it mean?

JC_Saves is the screen name that I use when I play poker on Poker Stars. I like to spread the word in anyway that I can. It is very interesting the comments, mostly very positive, that I get. When I started this blog long ago I was going to use it mainly just for talking about poker. That is why I put JC_Saves in the title of the blog. Although, I certainly intend to talk about poker, I am going to try and talk about my life, family and other matters that interest me.

Oh, and just for everyone's benefit, asking for God's help while playing cards is one of the sillier things you could do. During the WSOP main event last year at the final table there were two people that continually called out for God's help. It was one of the most pathetic things that I have witnessed. There was a woman who basically was asking over and over for God to intervene so her boyfriend could win a hand. She kept repeating some very obscure bible(I am assuming) reference. After a while I found myself disliking this person and really rooting for them to lose and be gone so I wouldn't have to hear her any longer, and thankfully, that prayer was answered.

The eventual winner of the main event, who was also asking for God's help, was a social worker who was planning on spending his prize money to help the needy people of his community, so maybe God did smile upon his fate that day, who knows. I do know this, God does not care about helping you win a hand of poker, a game of baseball, football or any other sporting event. To ask for his intervention in such matters is foolish. I would much rather ask for wisdom, patience and good health, which will serve me far better in life, and the team I am rooting for.
