I freakin' love this image: behind the scenes at every online poker HQ there is surely some malevolent 500 tabling matrix-bot crediting donkey accounts with money from anyone whose account is flagged by withdrawing.
It explains why I always lose a bit after running good more convincingly than variance does.
Who's with me on a black ops mission to Gibraltar to take down 888? I'm gonna disable those machines and reclaim my 20 bucks of lost all in EV!
Not sure about this theory. Ive cashed out at least 1 once, often more, ever month for the last 2 years accross mutiple sites and never had a problem.

There's a segment of the poker community that doesn't want to believe it, but the image of major poker sites being paragons of virtue has already evaporated when Full Tilt went tits up and revealed it didn't have enough cash to reimburse depositors.
@ Coach: Human minds are silly. They often don't see what they don't want to see.
Better reading this than being blind.
