In fact, many people think so) I still want to believe that this is selective memory) I haven’t made deposits for a long time, so I can’t say for sure

If I stay away from the tables for any length of time, it seems i money more frequently when I return. This is true for me in almost any gambling online situation. It's like, they do not want to see you leave so soon.

Sounds like a good problem to have! Haha I’m actually doing some testing, I opened up an 888 account wildly in like 3 weeks I’ve made $110 usd just playing freerolls and a few tournaments. I haven’t made a deposit (also have made a withdrawal yet either haha)

Man, I feel the same! Every time I top up my GGPoker balance, I swear I get Aces three times in the first hour. It feels like 'deposit run good' is a real thing, even if the math says otherwise

So it works even when we don't make a deposit?
Seems like some valuable information to support one's deposit 'run good' hypothesis.

As they say, smart people learn from the mistakes of others, while stupid people learn exclusively from their own.You were just lucky.

You’re definitely not the only one who feels that way it’s a very common perception. Right after a deposit, you’re usually more focused, playing tighter, and paying closer attention, which naturally leads to better decisions and sometimes better results. At the same time, short-term variance can create the illusion that something special is happening, especially when a few good hands or wins cluster together. Our brains also tend to remember those “fresh start” moments more vividly than the long, average stretches. In reality, it’s not the deposit changing the cards it’s a mix of mindset, attention, and normal variance.

A false impression :)
But if you can use it to your advantage, then I advise you not to ignore it and use it while you have the opportunity. The day will come when everything will change, it will definitely come.

It's probably just your impression; you're just having a good run of form coincidentally after making the deposit.
