I check, player2 bets 400, player 3 calls, I move all in b/c player 3 has 27k in chips, in 3rd place, did not want a suck out to knock me out of the tourny....
Player 2 folds and player 3 insta calls w/ JQ off suit. 27k, 270bb's with JQ off and miracly hits a ten on the turn for a gut shot str8 to knock me out of the tourny. Who does that?
Of course I have no proof as of now, b/c this was 3 years ago...But that's the honest to god's truth....Now you tell me that's dellusional?
Of course this is a delusional belief.
It is based on the belief that a major site would alter the game of a $33 (as if that is a major amount) tournament, in which they already received their rake to somehow deprive specifically you of a hand win.
It is a classic case of delusions of grandeur. The reality is the site could not care if you won or lost a hand in a tournament, and that reality is a much colder one than yours which has you at the center of their universe as well. You are not that important. Nobody is.
Your other significant logic flaw is you cannot accept rational explanations of others behavior. Maybe it was just a bad player playing badly.
Look at this hand from the other day. Note the tournament is $55 so it is nearly twice as important as a 33 one...

Glenmorangie was raising and 3 bet shoving every hand (the funny part was people kept raising and folding to his shoves even though he always did that play).
He kind of messes up that whole small stacks lose too much rigged beliefs, so how about we go with the Stars favors donk concept. That's a popular riggedology belief.
Let's check his stats

Oops. He is quite good.
What actually was the case here was he was messing around in a MTT that was well below what he normally plays.
There was no evil agendas here, just a guy having fun playing in a maniac style who got lucky for a while before he busted. That's it.
This is why when you ask if you are delusional for creating paranoid conspiracy beliefs based on a single hand like this years ago the answer is a clear yes.
Just work on becoming a better player.
