I have had very similar experiences at PP as that of others. I deposited $50 and within 2 wks I had amassed about $1100 (and did not cash out). Then PP turned against me. I dropped about $500 in two days and cashed out. Bottom line, they hook in the "new" players, but once you get too successful, watch out. I am looking for a more fair website. At pp, it seemed like every time I had a straight on 4th st, a flush would come on the river. Every time I had a flush on 4, a boat would magically appear on the river. Definitely not "real" poker.
