sssht! not everyone has to know. But since you already know one of pokers best kept secrets. When players are on a horrible downswing or are about to quit playing on their site and they email support about it. They turn on the "Run-Good-Switch" the equivalent of the doomswitch but the other way around after they've reviewed your handhistories to see if you deserve it. Which basically means you will win 70% of coinflips instead of 50% so you win money and other players do not get suspicious.

Best of luck in your attempt to get your Run-Good-Switch activated. Be aware of the risks though.. the more often you use it.. the more likely you will get doomswitched. After all.. With great power comes great responsibility.

brilliant!

I was just letting them know that they're not dealing with a fish, if "fish" is defined as someone who keeps redepositing after they've conclusively demonstrated that they're never going to be a winning player. In my email to WH, I told them that I wasn't questioning their integrity (even though, in the back of my mind, I was).

In my view, if I lose the entire 25 buyins at 2NL while doing my best to practise responsible BRM and study enough to become a winning player, then the situation is indeed hopeless and I need to take up crocheting instead. Sweaters can also be sold for a small profit and there is no element of chance involved in making a sweater.

NOTE: The reply I got from WH still included their copied-and-pasted standard integrity spiel, which is so obviously self-serving that it only makes a suspicious player even more suspicious. They also referred to poker as "gambling," which I find a silly statement for a poker site to make in today's social climate.

There's also a risk in selling sweaters. Your sweaters might be so ugly that no one buys them and then your stuck with a 100 ugly sweaters that you will have to wear for the next 10 years

On the bright side. You won't have to spend gifts for friends and family anymore.
