A loose network of individuals, generally connected through online communications, dedicated to spreading the belief that 'online' poker is 'rigged'. The most common belief is that players are 'fed' above-average starting hands to make them play more pots, thus supposedly increasing rake for the site.
An objective analysis quickly reveals this to be unworkable. Pre-loading players with excellent starting hands would in fact *lower* rake overall. This is because such a practice would invariably cause play to occur over a small number of large pots, rather than a large number of small pots. Since most sites 'cap' the rake at a given figure (typically taking a maximum of $3 per pot regardless of size), this would be deleterious to profit. Additionally, after a small series of large pots, *at least* one person at the table will have lost all their money. Hence no more pots (and thus no more rake) *at all*.
The nonsensicality of the Poker Conspiracy Self-Support Group's beliefs is no deterrent to the promulgation of their credo. This is because these are, invariably, losing players, who do not wish to acknowledge that they have been repeatedly beaten in a game of skill by players whose skill is superior to theirs. It is perhaps a noteworthy comment on the human condition that such conspiracies do not exist with regards to other skill games where money is not directly used as a tool of play.
The Poker Conspiracy Self-Support Group exists so that its members may continue to delude themselves about their poker ability, comfort each other over their soooooo-so rigged rivers, ignore pot odds and implied odds, and collectively justify committing mass credit-card fraud, since 'it's not stealing if they're thieves too'.

Get the Poop in a group mug.myspace groups that claim to only accept the creme de la creme of the website.
Well, as long as you're skinny, have 75% fake hair & a really good version of Photoshop.
Also claim that they're not scene, though 99% of people in these groups are typical myspace scenesters.
The most "elite" perfection groups include AP, VIP and PD. Please note that the owner of VIP is a pro-ana, recovering junkie & the owners of PD are a "Muslim" whore who's permanently naked & a man with red hair and no apparent face.
The point of these groups? Basically a big ego massage for the owner & its members, who need people to tell them they're gorgeous 24/7. FYI real gorgeous people don't need that, as they're not insecure egomaniacs.
A lot of members are condescending & vain, while others are chill.
