a cashout curse before tonight.................

was playing some billion hand sng of stars on a stake so kept my account empty untill monatoo shiped me a return on my stake in him
so after he sent it too me i went too withdraw it too keep account correct
ran like muck all night UNTILL i decided too reverse the cashout while i was left in one sng as it hadnt gone through and i was expecting a nasty email from stars saying
i couldnt withdraw it till i played it through then ran like god (with a few hic cups) for the next 30 minutes untill the turbo event was over

cash out curse exists i am now a believer or am i?

Drink more.

i might have a drink in a cpl of weeks i only drink twice a year, hog-many and my birthday

God.

Suspect I haven't cashed out once this year to test this out :(

I do something similar and only drink twice each year: Summer Solstice and Christmas.
I have a six month session for each of them.

Only a matter of time before people start preaching about whether they do or dont believe in religion.

It's fucking boring and I wish people would keep it to themselves.

Irony ITT

I haven't stated whether I do or don't. I just wish people wouldn't mention religion so often. It's annoying. Adults can make their own choices.

You're also the most boorish poster when it comes to religion on this forum which is unusual for such a nice happy go lucky guy.

If people stop ramming it down my throat, and having it interfere with my life, I'll stop talking about it.

people do that on this forum? by all means ram it down the throat of those who ram it down yours but I don't see any religious preaching going on here.

don't know whats got your back up, but the godites almost always start these arguments cos they think it will get them into heaven.

pretty sure I reacted ott, but I just someone always has to mention religion/god etc and I'd have thought for the forum it's better it wasn't brought up at all. It's lose lose for the forum

3 things you should never talk about in a pub should hold true on blonde as they cause the most trouble.

politics,football,religion

Rangers for PM!

Alcoholism perhaps number 4

Could we include gambling in that list?

Ffs at this rate we are going to only be able to talk about women. Oh wait a minute sounds about right and normal

Don't mention the war.

FYP

That was my first thought but then I realised he'd ticked two boxes with 'Rangers' (though the football [  ] box is arguable).

There must be many many people experienced this and it really does make you wonder. I tried a few of the less known sites to see if I could find what I'd call believable poker but found they got even worse. I came across one called pokerencore and found my experience on there to be what I can only describe as beyond a joke.

Poker Encore is a skin on the ipoker network.

Mr Sausage.

We are not going to get into that debate again, but there is nothing wrong or improper about Poker Encore.

Before making such suggestions, I really think you should either show proof, or not say it.

If you have any credible evidence, Post it. If you don't, it is improper to make such sweeping statements.

Sorry to appear brusque, but these continual suggestion that reputable Sites behave improperly are bang out of order. You would NOT be happy if Poker Encore suggested you were a cheat, would you?

Thanks.

You'll be saying that there's no such thing as a doom switch next.

i believe i can fly though i tried it down the stairs at brothers wedding and broke my next but it still doesnt stop me believing

Thanks Tikay for nudging me in the direction of this post.

There's not much point in debating cash out curses and the like because some people will choose to believe it and we'd just go back and forth forever. Personally I don't believe in any curses.

I own and run Poker Encore along with Paul Jackson. Unfortunately people are right to be some what wary of smaller poker sites after what's happened to some in the last couple of years. We've tried to get round this by partnering our personal reputations with the backing of much larger companies. Until recently we operated in partnership with Genting and now we are partnered with Coral.

As Kinboshi said we are part of the iPoker network. All sites on the network are using exactly the same RNG. The games all operate in the same way. Some of the more well known sites on the network include William Hill, Paddy Power and Betfair.

If you are trying out a few of the smaller sites to find one with a "fair" RNG it sounds very much like you are only playing a small amount of hands before making your mind up. Downswings happen over much longer periods of time than you probably played for here and so it's not out of the ordinary for you you experience some bad luck, an outdraw or a cooler. Have you played on any other iPoker sites? Did you find their games more "true"? If so the illusion of patterns within randomness is clearly at play

I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy playing with us. All I can say is that although we are a small site we are operated in a very professional way with the backing and security of one of the UK's biggest gaming companies. Any players with queries or problems are welcome to come to me directly for quick resolutions. I can't stop you getting outdrawn but I can solve most other problems...

Good luck wherever you end up playing your poker

oh and just for clarity i dont believe in a cashout curse its all about co-instances it was just funny how it went last night

i have gone on downswings after deposits and gone on upswings after cash outs

but then again do i believe in god now thats a different question

Cash out curses are definitely real, I came 4th at the G about 6 months ago, went to the desk and cashed out my bit of paper they gave me. Havent made the money since in about 25 comps.

What more proof do you need?

thats just cause your crap though vinny

What about Fight Club?

its for pussies

First rule of Thesaurus Club: You do not talk, speak, chat, deliberate, confer, gab, or converse about Thesaurus Club.

Some years ago I read a piece on, I think, poker.rec or a similar forerunner to the likes of Blonde and 2+2 which gave what appeared to be a rational maths-based explanation of the 'cash out curse'.
In essence, as I recall it, building your balance occurs on an upswing, cashing out means that you can't handle the concomitant downswings and thus go bust rather than just suffer a reduced balance.

I believe that I cause the arrival of an adverse river card for me when I name the card or variety of card I want to avoid.

Sounds a bit like regression to the mean.  Would make sense if they withdraw after a good run or a bink, and then their remaining bankroll is too small to absorb any downswing.

It's funny how the human mind seeks out patterns and causality when there isn't any. 

What's a cash out or an upswing pls ?

Won't be posting that again! Apologies for clearly offending some! Wow

Don't worry jesus forgives you.

Bless you my son

You having a sneezing fit again?
