After the last set, he jumps up from the table and accuses the dealer of dealing from the bottom of the deck, and the guy next to me of signaling. I just laughed, put my sunglasses back on and continued to win... I didn't see him for the rest of the day.

Point of the story: No matter where you play, theres always the skeptic who blames statistical fluctuations on foul play. In addition, the sheer volume difference in online play vs B&M play is reason enough to realize the abundancy of fluctuations.
