I have not been on tilt(yet) but I am on such a big downswing. Losses keep happening but staying calm so I don't lose it all. Just annoyed how I do so well then as soon as I withdraw or the next day everything just falls apart like the site has had enough of me playing well.Not hitting flops with my premiums and getting beat by rubbish hands all the time. From £22 to £8 so far. Not good but I still live so there is always a way back.
Going to stop playing now while I have £9. £13 down but I am happy I still have a bankroll. Sad how I was on £36 earlier and now this, not due to my idiot self for a change, just unlucky and running bad.
Does this withdraw downswing happen to everyone, doom?

Well if I look at it possibility and I am £9 up since I withdrew what I deposited. Plus won a lot of mob points today so still a good day. Happy as I did not lose money through tilt or anything bad, just missing hitting flops, or turns and a few beats and suckouts so just poker.
Have you started playing yet?
Down to my last £5 so I have had to cancel my withdrawal. Good plan poker sites have to stop you getting your money.
What the hell is going on today. People keep hitting sets against me all the time. I have never seen so much against me and they set up the streets so it looks like I am ahead. 77 crushed by trip 3's just now too. It's more lower pockets than premiums as well, kind of fishy to me or is variance really that bad for me?
This isnt a downswing, its a massacre. I have never had it this bad bedore until I withdrew. Jesus..
------------ And I am busto. £36 gone in one day with two massive sessions. Not by tilt, not by stupid actions but against sets 90% of the time. I recall reading hitting a set is low odds but people keep hitting against me all the time and I have only had one today which was nearly crack as per standard. I have never seen so many sets against me ever. One of them was a set of j's which is normal but the rest were low ones as it always is. Every time setting up the streets so it looks like I was ahead or should be but I never am.
I like to spout rigged sometimes when I am on tilt or angry but all of this today proves it must be because all the stuff I have seen today has been astronomical, that or this so called variance really hates me.
I also like how when I am in position and have something say like 99/1010/JJ I will always get a big 3 bet from someone in the SB or BB which always has them having a higher pair. This is true for me about 70% of the time. So many set ups, suck outs and s**t lately. Perhaps I am just that bad at poker or I am the unluckiest player ever but this s**t has gotten me depressed. Been playing great since last week but as soon as I withdrew all this happens.

Lolll, no the doomswitch doesnt exist at all, it was just a joke from my side i thought you understand. There is no such thing as a doomswitch on withdraws not on any side.

I know there is no doom switch, but it's still funny how everything came crashing down as soon as I withdrew.
@Ronin:
I was on the bottom two stakes mate and you cannot get lower than those. Just one of those days. Maybe after losing half of my BR I should have just quit for the day as maybe I was not playing my A game and I did not realize it and of course the set ups and beats, but thats poker I guess.
If I want to think positive I only lose £10 since the rest I had one. I am going through a phase of winning loads and playing well them losing it all in one day/night. Perhaps it is a problem with me and my game.
Will reload like £8 next week when it's pay day and see if I can grind back up again.

You really have to take care at your bankrollmanagement, you lose your whole roll in 1 night thats reallly bad, even a really skilled player wud go broke everytime with your bankrollmanagement. With $50 try 50 cent SNG and use proper bankrollmanagement, like this your playing now you go busto sooner or later every time over and over.

It was a few speed and the rest slow tables and I lost a few BI's to the slow tables so it was more than just speed poker high variance. Not going to withdraw next time though just in case. I do need to stay away from the speed tables as well though.

Indeed, I fully agree. I just want faster hands and make money fast which is a stupid notion. I have a goal of wanting to make like £500 to buy a new gaming laptop as mine is slowly getting old.
As well as playing I am going to save every ladbrokes points until I have enough to exchange for £100's. Will take ages but they will eventually add up.

No I have not as of yet started playing again yet. I plan on starting to play poker again on Monday. The break has been longer then I originally planned. I chose this extra long break in order to make sure I got my head together. I needed the break and have truly enjoyed the relaxation time. best of luck to you be cool

I need something more than luck. I just cannot seem to win win much anymore. My decent hands always getting cracked by crap, never hitting many flops or everyone folding to a low bet when I have something decent. Not enjoying playing its like I am on the worst variance and it has been running for months. All I see lately is me losing and I keep running into set up straights, sets or fish chasing and always calling and hitting among other things. Im just a bad player end of because no one can run this bad all the time.
Nice. Just lost a BI after I have played nice and solid for the last hour. Get JJ and get called by some prick fish with A7o as standard because Ace rag always wins. Flops a 7 as the highest card of the deck. Cool I thought as I bet out the streets as no higher cards come out. Nice 7 comes out on the river because as usual I always get fucked over by someone or something when I am ahead with a pocket pair. Getting fed up with variance. Shame you are not due it back because it would owe me about a million wins by now.

Dude why the hell are you still even playing on the BS site. I am sorry but if it is truly as bent as you claim then move to another site. Get the hell of the ipoker network completely. it seems like a very simple thing to me. move on to better pastures.

Which leaves Pokerstars, 888 and Fulltilt because the rest is rubbish. 888 hates me and I don't want to go through that withdraw I.D problem. Could try fulltilt sometime, maybe Stars. Are they both easy to withdraw from?
Might be an idea to have a rest from this site for a while, unless it's just me. Aside from that I have not really lost that much there with I have deposited, just the money I have won which is probably a couple ton by now.
I am thinking fulltilt if you can withdraw without checks. I think all my crap is due to Ipoker. I have never seen the amount of shite I have, even worse than Pokerstars has to offer. Just had enough of constant flushes, straights, set ups, Ace rag always hitting and fish always hitting big against you with rubbish when I play well as its effecting my mind thinking I am pathetic at poker now. Such total bollocks. Just had a guy call my big raises after he was limping when I had a pair of 8's and 9's with Ace rag and both times spiked an Ace on the flop, its always like this. Might as well fold everytime unless im on the button.
Then again, when I had three separate bonus's on William Hill(Ipoker) I never won there either. Such a sad day as I am a big labdrokes fan. I miss the old site where I would always do well and make money if I was being stupid.
I will deposit in FT or Stars tomorrow and see how I go and depending on withdrawal.
------------ Fulltilt vs Stars? Maybe stars because I could join you in grinding the micros and it seems it has better promotions then fulltilt. The only problem is playing in $ which takes ages to make £.

You can play €/£ on stars And if GBP tables don't have enough traffic, you can play a little higher stake USD tables ... according to google 0.02GBP is 0.03275USD so NL$4 ~ NL2£ and so on

You can play �/� on stars
That's brilliant. Think it's time to come back then and I get paid tomorrow so could deposit after I have got some new trainers.
See how it goes, though im sure its not as bad as Ipoker.
------------ Also, does Stars have a rakeback program or something? on Ipoker and the old Ladbrokes you could cash in points(Stars VPP) for money. I know Stars has a store but I only saw a yearly cash thing for when you reach like 750 vpp and further one.
