Nope. Not me.

"There is a conspiracy against me", was uttered by a player who was busy losing his money at small stakes hold'em online.

Of course, his opposition were all donks.

And he told us so.

Yet he was surprising silent when he 2-bet 86o preflop as a blind steal took it to the river and lost. Nor when he 2-bet a early limper with his mighty Q6s when he was obviously steaming, stood my 3-bet, took it to the river and lost.

He railed and railed.

You would have thought he had never had a losing session before.

Or that he had not noticed that the best hand in is not always the best hand out.

Anyways, he lost E100+, busted and disappeared into the ether.

As Amarillo Slim once said, "no one knows where the hobo goes, when it snows".

Usually, when you suspect a conspicy there is a conspiracy but it is usually self imposed.

Since people are quoting this...

The point is not the above. He did more than that. He declared there was a conspiracy against him. It was pitiful. Most players who believe online poker is rigged do not believe it is rigged just against them but everyone.

I don't get the reference. What is it about black helicopters?

I have no problems playing online. It was one of my many opponents who uttered the now immortal words "There is a conspiracy against me."

These words should rank alongside:

"They are going to kill both of us!"
"I zigged when I should have zagged."
"Say it ain't so, Joe, say it ain't so."
