The withdraw curse is in all the poker sites I know. I’ve lived it at Yachting (first time ever withdraw for me) and now also at Bet-at-home. And it’s impressive how a j9 calls an KK all-in pre-flop in the beginning of a $2.20 10 players SnG (I had already lost previous SnGs and was on tilt, that’s why I did it… and wins with two pairs.

lol @ "withdraw curse",you guys have to learn and understand variance,thats all. Why would they give you a withdraw curse? The sites dont make money from you depositing,they make money from your rake,so they want people to keep playing obv.,a withdraw curse would make people stop playing. So calm down,its just standard variance,thats all.

No when you deposit 50 and win 2 K and pay it out then you take it of the site ...so less money on the site so potentialy less rake.So when you deposit 100 back then they often dont want you to take anymore from their site.....the curse sets in then ....

Sooner or later all money that is on accounts will be paid out anyway,no matter who wins it,so it makes no difference for the site who wins it,because like I said,sooner or later it will be withdrawn either way.

I really prefer PartyPoker. For some reason, I've never liked the PS design and layout of the lobby. Also, there are way better players at Stars so if you're looking for fish, I'd suggest PP. There are a lot of skilled players on all levels on Party so you just need to be patient and try to find the fish-tables as I like to call them. It may take you a wile, but eventually you'll find one
and wins with two pairs.
