so poker stars software has been glitch and dcing quite bit over the last few days and today the ipoker software messed up

there are a few general theories I have on this,

1. it is an expert computer hacker seeking his revenge for his believe in sites stealing from him by allegedy been rigged.

2. it was an American conspiracy to try to hurt online poker.

3. extra terrestrials from zena reticuli had concluded they can start there spreading of there ideologies and agenda on earth by acquiring earth currency for free via playing free roll poker tournaments until they have money online then using there super advanced software and analysis to make money on mass which they then plan to use to financially support there media ambitions but found out that they need a valid credit card to cash out and age + identity verification ina furious temper that there efforts have been wasted they are hacking the sites out of spite.

4. its just coincidence the sites going down at the moment and nothings there.

5 the sites go through the same or similar connections/ software and that central base went down.

now ive realised that four of these options are realistic and one is just silly and absurd. The absurd one been 4 so without the 4th option which do we think is the most likely?

have other people been experiencing these problems and is it a threat to the continuation of online poker?

I dont think the extra terrestials need income they are kinda kudos godly being type specimen... however anything is possible in cyber space interference on sites via cross encounters.

im getting really pissed off with 888 also since I cleared ny account and stopped playing I keep losing flips like im now writing down all the bad beats and tosses ive lost when running for my tournament life when money is at stake that would put me +EV against my latest deposit.

Its getting ridiculous ive been predicting the rivers and loudly laughing to myself at this joke fest. And bad beat donk out kinda spew.

I think im like 23 to 3 on significant tosses being lost 52% or more in my favour including dominated pairs.
thats just january

...no doubt in my mind....

...it may have also been caused when I finally hit this
EndofInt
the other day...not sure the interwebs has fail safe in place for when that happens...hard to say exactly what the propagation of the resulting eShock wave may have done to various sites...
my apologies...I'll try to be more careful next time...

I heard it was a couple of players from Alpha Centuri, they had a lot of bad beats and got mad and zapped the site. Being forgiving in nature though, they will probably restore service soon. Oh yea, EvertonGirl, they kept asking about ya, but i didn't tell them anything ;)
