This is to all on online poker being rigged with a cashout curse:
First, I am not an employee of the company, simply a college student who turned to poker to test my mathematically and reading abilities.
I've been playing for about 2 years now, and have gotten seriously into the game. Last August, I won my first tournament for $1600, cashout out 1500, and lost my remaining bankroll. Since then, I felt like I was on a run of really bad cards.
I started playing again a couple months ago, and earlier this week won my second tournament for $4550. I cashed out $4500, leaving $300 on there.
Since then, I've made some deep runs in a couple tournaments, and one or two final tables. The cashout curse, while believable, does not exist IMHO. Bad cards come, but you have to wait for things to turn around.
As for online poker being rigged, I really think it's not.
A) Why? Poker sites make SO much money, there's no explination as to why they'd rig it.
B) If you haven't noticed, with a solid game you can make it deep in many tournaments.
C) The "Big Stack" Advantage deep in tournaments also isn't true. At both tournaments I've won, I was the ss all final table. Also, as a big stack in tournaments, I take just as many bad beats as I do when I'm on push/fold as a ss. It happens sometimes, and learning to take the fluctuations of the game is part of learning to be a solid player.
