I think I may have read on this site, but I have read in many other places all over the web about online card rooms being fixed so new players always win to start out with, (I feel that is what you may be hinting at), and so they don’t bust out and never come back. I have not scene any evidence of this, so I don’t believe it, but would not totally rule this out given some evidence to back up these claims.

I too am new to hold’em and can tell you my own personal experience that I experienced a every small up to start of with and then lost 95% of my bankroll. Looking back this up was pure luck, and I lost 95% of my bankroll for a reason, playing way out of my bankroll (as mentioned above). I considered quitting, but made some post here asking maybe stupid question and will continue asking stupid questions, and now I’m grinding it out at the super small micro limits, were I should have started in the first place.

It’s mostly about bankroll management, good luck winning it all back!
