Need your opinion on the worst thing happen to me during a staking

Need your opinion on the worst thing happen to me during a staking

Hi guys, I'd like your opinion on a situation I've been experiencing lately. After two years of playing without staking at an ABI of around 20, due to family issues and high expenses, I felt I couldn't mentally handle a possible swing.
I decided to join a big stable at an ABI of around $13-14.
The first month went very smoothly, and I won around $2,000.
From the second month onward, the run got really bad: a swing. We're not talking crazy numbers, a swing of around $3,600, I think, an extremely standard swing.
I was contacted by the person managing everything and was informed of the following decision:
- I'll play with an ABI of around $4 until I get my makeup back.
- I'll leave the stable, paying a 50% buyout of my makeup.

Now, how should a person behave?
The ABI reduction should be based on playing level, not results (yes, my playing level wasn't checked at all).
Now I'm forced to play an embarrassing schedule (the ABI reduction isn't written into the contract) or pay $1,800.
What would you do?
What should I do?

Sounds like pretty scummy practics by them if they didn't even have a look at any DB/HHs.
So much that I'd out the stable if I was you. This is definitely not usual.

It's usual that stables change schedules if they see too many leaks/player not beating his current Stakes currently, but not by cutting the ABI by 70% at once and without having any other review other than results.

Ty for reply, the stables coach make me some HHreview in this period, like 2 every month, and always said to me the game quality is good and everything was fine.

I want to quit the contract, but need to send 1.8k out. and I think this is not fair.
