:icon_sunn How wise and observant you are.  Of course, some people do "think" that their life is rigged.  It's a personality trait, a psychological attribute.  And not a good one.  It's the "Everything happens to me" psychology.  A friend of mine had the second best low hand in a hi/lo game and lost.  He actually had the thought, "Why is God against me?"  He quit gambling.

Just one among many superstitions.

The other day, in the early stages of a freeroll, players were going all-in in droves, every hand.  I had KK in the big blind, and couldn't wait to call.  I walked.  I couldn't believe it.  The thought entered my mind that they knew what I had.  But I banished that thought immediately.  Such things do happen.  Aberrations happen.  A dodo with a one-out can beat you on the river.  Doesn't mean the game is rigged.  Even with odds of a hundred to one, sometimes the one comes up.  So get rid of those negative thoughts.  The day I stop believing in myself and believe instead that some extraneous influence is affecting the game's outcome, is the day I quit.  When I lose, there is generally one reason.  I made a mistake.  I played poorly.
