I HAVE a conspiracy theory about on-line poker - all the conspiracy theories about the game are true.

Trawl any on-line forum and you'll find cursed players coming up with more sinister plots than a whole series of X-Files.

Some claim certain sites have a 'doom' button that can switch a rock of a player, who had been skillfully winning huge pots and mega-buck tournaments, into a hapless donkey.

Others believe that ringers secretly reel in your cash by playing incognito for the site - with the advantage that they know what cards are coming in next.

Then there is the 'cash out curse'. This goes something like the player who makes a big withdrawal will then endure an unbelievable run of bad luck until they have blown everything they had ever won.
