    I have built 9 diff rolls over 5k from scratch or v minimal deposits on several diff sites. Every single time i've cashed a load out i've ran unmercifully bad for an extended period ( My latest from Poker stars on the 17th of March...4 cashes in my last 102 events including a 0 for 40 streak...

    I am hardly a great player--- but, i am no damn fool ... gotta be sumthing to this shit outside of variance... but, then again- i play 5k events a year so why would a site stack against me knowing i will eventually just quit playing and they will lose rake?

    I play $12 buyins because i want to--not because i have to :) My wife is a Doctor

    Flame away i guess--- ^^^ 6 million hands played w/30 years of live recreational and tournament poker.. and a few years of online poker .

    PS: Feel free to send me a PM if u do not want flamed by the forum or your thoughts public:)

    Yeah well if you can afford all of that I'd just assume move up to where they respect my raises.

    0 for 40 ummmm wow step away from the computer. I don't think the cash out curse could even be that powerful. Any idiot can win a couple of thousands (look no further than me) but only a true idiot with some major leaks can lose 40 in a row.

    The sites have no incentive to actually curse you, they love when you withdraw so you tell your friends and then they want to try. Online poker is not simple and requires a lot of self evaluation. If you make smart decisions and get your money in ahead most of the time, than most of the time you will make some cash.

    Find your leaks and plug them, stop blaming the doomswitch.

    0 for 40 actually happens to good players more often than you think. It could be a leak, but it could also be a sick string of variance.
