The strangest thing happened to me yesterday.
So there I was, a miserable sinner, taking my first real shot at NL50 this week while dowloading porn via bitcomet. Yes, gambling, pornography and copyright infringement all at the same time. Bad beats and coolers came nonstop until my poker graph looked like it was tracking the value of the Aussie dollar.
I was ready to throw my keyboard out the window in disgust when I decided to change the music I was playing in the background to... the Hallelujah chorus. And then my luck just turned around.
Imagine a chorus singing HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! as the perfect flop hits. Imagine FOR THE LORD GOD OMNIPOTENT REIGNETH ringing out as your hand holds up.

And then to the jubilant declaration of
KING OF KINGS!
and LORD OF LORDS!
I inflict grevious harm on a multitabling villain with a nasty, heaven sanctioned cooler.

In a rush of religious ecstacy I continued with "Angels We Have Heard on High", appropriately sung by the Law Vegas Masters Singers accompanied by the Las Vegas Philharmonic. As the hymn's distinctive chorus rang out,
GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO!
GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO!
this hand happened:

I'm sure nobody calls PF 4 bets with hole cards like those without divine intervention.
The track ended and I immediately ran into this hand:

But it was not long before "Come All Ye Faithful" was reverberating from my speakers. As I roared out "GLORY TO GOD, GLORY IN THE HIGHEST" I came storming back, delivering the smackdown (smitedown?) to win a big chunk of it back.

The rest of the session continued in that vein. When I finally stopped, I found that my download speed had dropped to 6kbs and I had won back the 6 buy ins I had lost and a whole lot more so my overall winrate is now a decent 3ptbb/100.
I'm definitely attending evening mass tonight and giving a hefty donation.
