cash out curse

hey everyone.. does anyone believe in the cash out curse or has anyone heard about this? I recently heard of it and decided to look it up. not going to lie it does make some sense but i still dont know if i believe it. what do you guys think?

I had to google "cash out curse".

No, I don't believe it.

The reason I don't believe it is because "punishing" players isn't doing the poker rooms any good. If the goal is to stop them from withdrawing cash, then the "cash out curse" needs to be commonly known to be real for it to work as a deterrent. If it remains a myth, no one's going to stop from cashing out. So from that point of view, it doesn't make sense.

Now, regarding cashing out and then going bust, consider what you've just done to your bankroll at that site. Quite possibly you've gone from, say, $300 to $100. If you still play $1-$2 limit, or so, you no longer have the bankroll to withstand the swings. By cashing out, your buffer for "not going bust" has been (potentially radically) decreased. Therefore, your risk of going bust increases. Therefore, people who cash out will go bust more often than people who do not.

... In my ever-so humble opinion.

The old doomsday switch theory won't go away will it?With so many sites waiting for our money it wouldn't really make sense to punish players who are winning and generating rake and buy-in fees.The casino couldn't care less who wins so long as they're getting their cut.
As for that link you posted F,i fell asleep after 3 paragraphs!!How complicated...?
