Default New Accounts For-The-Win?

Let me start by saying that i have been a winning player for years and have
never lost money on any site. My one and only buy-in was for $150 5 years ago on
paradise. After cashing out close to 10K over a 1 year period i seemed to hit a
wall and could no longer win. I broke even for weeks dispite playing lower and
lower limits in an attempt to get positive results. I switched to party poker
and began immediately winning again. after cashing out somewhere between 10-15k
i agin hit a wall and could only break even. I started playing PLO8 because it
is one the lowest variance forms of poker available. Broke even for a couple of
weeks, dropped down in limit, broke even, dropped all the way down to .25/.50
PLO8 as a test. Broke even with the worst players in the world. Players jamming
money in the pot when they are drawing dead, drawing to half the pot etc. Hoping
and praying that their second nut flush will get half the pot, I could only
break even. I switched to interpoker and won immediately. Didnt give them the
chance to put the brakes on and switched to FTP before i hit the wall at
interpoker. Won immediately at full tilt poker. i would like to know what
experiences the rest of you have had with hitting a wall or having the brakes
applied after cashing out around 10k all at once or over and extended period of
time. I feel strongly that new acounts are required in order to win
consistently. This is not a bitter post from a new player who has lost his money
and is frustrated. I have over 10 years of experience and have hit my share of
bad runs and good runs. I would like to particularly here from anyone who has
played the same account for years on a site and been regularly cashing out for
years in excess of 20,000 (not necesarily all at once).

A Simple search of the forum will let you know that every single site is rigged.

Might I recommend 'Play Poker Like the Pros,' by Phil Helmuth, Jr?

Also, anything by Jon Vorhaus.

Actually that's exactly what it is. Paradise's RNG is independently certified (or at least it was last time I checked). The whole reason poker exists as a profitable game is because people call with hands that they shouldn't, yet you're complaint about it? That is retarded. Why don't YOU explain what you would like to happen with you have the best hand and you make a bet. Do you want callers?

"Suckouts" are a part of poker, and without them there is no game. Do you see why? Obviously not. Judging by your failure to grasp this fundamental concept, and the resulting blame you place on the site, it is clear that you have lot to learn about your own ability. Good luck with that.

you fail to list your own experiences, which is what i am asking for. Unless you have cashed out 10s of 1000s of dollars on an account you have had for years and are continuing to win i am not interested in your opinions about my ability to win. I win consistently, but only on accounts which have not had 10s of 1000s of dollars cashed out. I am not a player who has lost money. I am a player who feels he can not win more than 10-15k on the same account. But, thank you for the flame.

I cashed out much more than your supposed threshold last year on my one and only Party account. I play about 1k hands a day, and did so today. I am up on the month, just as I was last month. Better?
