Crotch Theory Optimal

"Crotch Theory Optimal" or "CTO" represents a modification of the poker term "Game Theory Optimal". It is a phrase that was first coined in the aftermath of the Stones Casino Cheating Scandal. When the scandal went viral in early October of 2019, hundreds of hours of poker cash game footage came under scrutiny by many amateur and professional poker sleuths. As a whole, the community came to the conclusion that Mike Postle, with the help of Justin Kuraitis and possibly others, was cheating while playing on the Stones Live Poker Stream. One of the alleged methods of cheating involved Mike Postle placing his phone between his legs, and viewing information about his opponents' hands real time. There is much video footage which shows him looking down at his crotch while playing poker hands. Once he had information about his opponents' hands, he then often made many non-standard, and highly profitable plays. Mike Postle demonstrated that all you have to do to play optimal poker is look down at your crotch. Thus the term was born: "Crotch Theory Optimal" Joe Ingram is generally credited for first using the term on one of his YouTube Videos.
I tried to bluff the river with 8 high but my opponent made a sick bluff check-raise with 9 high. That's when I had to dig deep, look down at the phone which was hidden snugly between my legs, and bust out a vicious Crotch Theory Optimal response.... Reraise allin.

Poker is so easy when you can play CTO.

theory bait

An aspect of a story (typically seen in video games) that is vague and seems mysterious, eluding to a grand payoff when in reality it lacks substance and is purely there to bait the community into making theories and wild speculations therefore creating a better narrative than the original author could have made themselves.
I wanted to make popular a video game, but don't know how to write a compelling story so I made theory bait instead and the community wrote the story for me.

Confederate Barbarian Theory.

Confederate Barbarian Theory is a very advanced theory in history, which combines elements from mathmatics, economics, and philosophy relating to the civil war and its causes. While the common man might say slavery or a well educated man might say closer to southern aggression to civilization and freedom might be the cause of the civil war the intellectual man will know the logical conclusion of this. It is in opposition to retarded lost cause theories which content the confederacy worthy of being part of western civilization.

Confederate Barbarian Theory disproves entirely lost cause cuckery with facts, logic, and remaining true to General SHERMAN. It states that the confederates were barbarians whomst sought to destroy freedom, America, civilization, and liberty in order to forge a new dark age of evil where evil weak men would enslave strong superior men.
Weak men say: war of northern aggression
normie men say: civil war
strong men say: war of southern aggression
SRTONK MAN SAY: Confederate Barbarian Theory.

The Z Theory

Basically, the Z theory explains how modern-day 'Badmen' speak. If, when typing, the letter 'Z' is added to the end of the last word in a sentence, it automatically gives it that 'badman' sheen.
Man: Goodmorning, I are going shops for some bread and milk.
Woman: How illiterate.

~~~~

Badman: Goodmorning, I are going shops for some bread and milkz.
Woman: Normally I would think that illiterate, but due to the use of the Z theory, I realise this chap is a badman.
