Crushed the conspiracy case of the cash out curse.

This is a post dedicated to all the online poker conspiracy theorists out there. IE: ME!

The other day I needed to cash out a small amount and was hesitant due the “cash out curse”

Attempting to convince myself that no such curse exists I came up with a plan.

Step 1: Cash out
Step 2: Play immediately after cashing out and either
a) Show a net profit
b) Go bust.

It took 36 tournaments but I did it, I showed a profit after a dismal start. I think the difference between my net results and EV speaks for itself.



So to all you conspiracy theorists I now laugh in your face for I beat this mysterious curse and made a massive $1.90 profit, not bad for spending over $180 on buy-ins.

Subsequently since playing after 2/2/10 when these stats were taken here are my stats from 3/2/10 onwards.



Cash out curse exists? I think not!

Where's your control? How do you know what would have happened if you hadn't cashed before you played?

Let's crank that science brain of yours!

However it is good to see the 'curses' are gradually giving way to reason - nice work. Keep it up!

Obviously the cashout curse is lifted as soon as the site gets the $$ back from tourney fees / rake.

Don't you know that?
