You can pick on it. I post it for a reason.
No. It's because they didn't want to play me. You're missing the point. You brought in a demented argument (that Von Neumann's -name- somehow gave validity to a moronic thing someone claimed he said as he was dying). I responded with a coat-hanger to that argument.
I have like 3 screenshots of poker tables lifetime. That one was because I was SO furious I almost couldn't breathe (I'd been waiting for 4 hours on that list). Don't get caught up on it. I was responding to a moronic line of argument because you weren't prepared to read a page of pure logic (preferring instead to talk about poker and Von Neumann's 'legacy' or 'reputation' or yawn). None of that has any value to the issue of Pascal's wager being moronic beyond belief. Neither does my screenshot.
The value is in the link you're too lazy to read.

Read it. Is it going to kill you?
That's why I destroyed poker. I credit the validity of what is said. I have no interest in who said it beyond attribution.
Care to be more specific or are you just doing that thing vassals do when they cannot (be more specific)?
