    Recently i started playing on full tilt poker and won 6 dollars from a freeroll. (So obviously i never deposited). And because of my experience playing on other sites and the low stakes that i play im playing well, getting deep in a lot of tournys, and even winning some of the small 180 mans that i play. However! any tourny that i play where 1st place is more then like 100 dollars i get ROYALLY screwed EVERY single time. I mean this is like from the last probably 40 tournys ive played on there. Seriously its like the site doesn't want me winning because if i withdrawl money from the site its all their money since i havent deposited. I mean im not talking a few hands or a few tournies. Its EVERY time, and im talking usually has a 70 percent or 80 percent favorite. Queens vs Queen 2, Ace King vs Ace 10, Aces vs 10s...etc etc etc...and its always late and deep in the tournies and its so fing frustrating!!!!!! I mean obviously its WAAAAY far fetched but could there seriously be a doom switch on for players who never deposited on the site? Im starting to believe it and im not even a super sticious person. UHGGGGGG end rant.

    No doom switch.

    It's called a downswing.

    Enjoy :)

    My database would make you sick for the last 4 weeks. AA is the most losing hand behind KK for the month. It happens. Trust me....

    I don't think it's a doomswitch. I think it's you, personally, that the sites have something against. Your story tells it all. You're losing too much with great hands and it just shouldn't be happening to you. The type of thing that you describe never happens to the rest of us, only you. I think you should seriously consider starting bad beat threads at every poker forum and try to gain as much support as you can because things sound grim for you in the online poker world and you're gonna need all the support you can get. Good luck!
