What you are referring to is the "cash out curse".
It is not really a curse however, all it is is playing scared with an underfunded bankroll. Suckouts will happen with 50 big bets in the same frequency that they will if you have a 10,000 BB cushion, they just obviously hurt more with less bankroll. PS. Welcome to the forum.

I claimed these things were true a kinda long while back as well, and felt the same way u probably do, that the site is mad at me for cashing out - now i realize how silly it is and they could definetely care less, along with how much unecessary work the site would have to do in order to actually cause u to lose money on purpose.
There is no way the "cash out curse" is real, and if u play long enough u will agree as u will hopefully cash out, and continue to win afterwards sometimes soon. Don;t worry it will happen.

think about it
the site dosent care who cashes out they have enough buisness and could care less what you do with your money. This is the most idiotic thing I have heard about online play.

I personally think the cash out curse is due to your mental state.
You are up, thus you are playing more aggressively. You are seeing more flops, you are stealing more often, and you are playing back more often. This in turn will lead to big pots for you, but also for big swings in the opposite direction as well. When you buy in for 200 and sit at the 1/2 tables and are up 600, yopuhave 800. You may drop 150 dollars on some aggressive play, still end up with a nice session and not realize you just dropped 150 bucks. If you drop that when you only have 200 you notice it. Now imagine winning that 600 but cashing it out, then playing the same style youve begun playing, losing that same 150.... it looks a lot worse now. |

I cashed out once to make up for losses at AC and ended up going on a losing streak after that.
It is definitly a mental thing rather than a site. They don't care if we cash out or not. They just want to keep us playing to get their rake. I we stay even all the time, they make money. Does not really seam fair to me, lol

My favorite thing is when somebody gets rivered, they say something like "PokerStars is a joke." Then someone else will chime in with "not as bad as Party". Yet another will say, "Full Tilt is the worst of all." NO! you all just suck.

Actually, it's not that they suck... it's that they have no concept of simple mathematics. For some reason, they thing 90% = 100%, when in reality, it only equals 90%...

Well, I think it's idiotic to edit your own post in order to point out a mistake you made instead of, you know, editing your post to FIX said mistake!!!
Please don't call people idiots for posting very legitimate questions. I know you only cash in, so you wouldn't know anything about the cash out curse, but it's a legitimate topic of discussion for the rest of us. As for my opinion on the subject: I'm with the othes here that say it can be explained from both math and one's state of mind, btw. It's not the site punishing you for taking money out. I'm confident in that. |

Thanks
First of all thanks for the welcome and from what I gather and what makes sense Zybomb comments seem the most logic and I think most people would agree you dont notice a 200 dollar loss when you have 800 in front of you as you would if you had 2 or 300 in fornt of you. Thanks for all the opnions it's been a big help. As for the one who called me an idot your entilted to you opnion even ignorant people who act like you. By the responce on this post I dont seen to be alone so I guess that would make us all idots but you.
Again thanks to everyone else. |

What
didnt call him a idiot, I said the phrase is idiotic, forget it no matter what I say you people find a way to turn it around and make me look like the bad guy. No idea why I came back here when the admin and regulars jump all over me no matter what I say, opinion or not. "screw you all im going home" |
