Like I said in my initial post, did you think it was just a coincidence that you continually played great poker and always just ended up even?

Try this experiment. Deposit $1000. Now, forget about what cards you have. Just play every hand and raise like crazy. You will probably see a downswing at first, but then the rake protection algorithm will kick in and things will even out for you. Within two weeks, you will probably be at about $800-900 (even, minus the rake). You can play great poker and still will be at that $800-900 range. If you end up going broke, that means the algorithm did not kick in yet, so deposit another $1000. Within a week, they will crank you back up to about $1800 total.
