Conspiracy Theory????

[BDMK]

agreed.

250K is definitely not worth a minimum of..what? 250M? (eventually maybe) 2B?

nah...

for that one simple economic reason, i personally can never believe that the major poker sites are rigged in any way, shape or form.

Well you're an idiot then, because last night, I lost $48.

Two times, yes two, I had the best hand preflop and got beat on the river. Two fucking times!!!!!!!! Now, if it ain't rigged, why did I lose?

given that this is the official conspiracy theory thread, how about this one:

anyone else, beside me, find that the occasional poker-related promo mailings all arrive opened? (all other mail neat and unopened as usual)

i didnt see the tourney, so i dont really have any clue as to if this was rigged or not, but...

ub is the site that ran the pros only section of their aruba tourney in the first season of the wpt, and apparently it was a sham and no money was ever actually supposed to change hands.

phil gordon ended up winning the pros portion, and then he lost to juha helpi in the overall between the winner of the pros and the winner of the amateurs. this screwed everything up for ub, because the pro was supposed to beat the amateur, and ub wouldnt have to actually pay any money.

i dont remember the entire story, but if you search the archives at rgp then you should be able to find it.

like i said earlier, i dont know about this tournament recently, but ub has definitely done some questionable things regarding tourneys, just so that they can make a few extra bucks.
