Why do you think theis post has 80K views and 4100 replies? Thats a huge success.
I think I know your answer, because the majority of people are paranoid. But if you call the majority of people paranoid, doesn´t that make YOU the paranoid one?
I use the term riggedologists.
Lots of people are paranoid about all sorts of things. That is their right, and they also have the right to preach or believe whatever they like about all the secret hidden truths in the world within their mind.
Google "lizard people theories" and you get over 200,000 hits. That's a whole lot of people who believe in the lizard people. According to your analysis above, this means it must be true.
Repeat with any conspiracy you can think of. All must then be true.
The irony is in this case of online poker all of what "you feel is wrong" can actually be analyzed via proper mathematical means, and yet one of riggedology's commandments is to never actually do the work that would prove their beliefs. You think that K guy who whines that he loses KK and AA all the time will ever show his database? Of course not because it will show
1) He is making up the data
2) He probably plays the hands quite badly often
For what it is worth, the majority of people and poker players are not paranoid. I only see 1 or 2 times a day a person whining about rigged stuff in actual games and they always tend to be pretty awful players who have no concept of anything beyond a starting hand chart.
AK loses to AQ it must be rigged. Even if 95% of the chips went in after the Q22 flop.
This is a thread about rigged beliefs, so those that do follow the tenants of riggedology will flock to it, along with a couple who assume its a place to post a meaningless bad beat blog. Start a thread about 9/11 and I bet it could be even bigger if allowed to exist here.
The fact you regard the size of this thread to prove something shows the flaw in your logic. Likely fewer then 1 in 100 people who play online even know this thread exists.
Anyway, good luck with your riggedology studies. Remember to always offer vague beliefs and never, ever offer actual data (other then a couple of cherry picked bad beat hands).
All the best.
