I played most of my beginning times at Stars, then moved to Full Tilt because of bonuses, etc. I then played UB for many months before trying out Stars again and I've had hand after hand just like the one below. I never saw this stuff at FTP or UB. I'm making more without the bonuses and rakeback just because of the fishy games.

Aren't there a ton of 100NL/200NL players on stars from LP.net who play without rakeback? Or I suppose they are supernova's pretty quick so whatever that comes out to in stars rakeback lol.

plus i've found when i 12 table for rakeback, my game suffers horribly. now i'm back to 4-6 tabling and making many more bb/100. and bejamin is right too about many lp.net members playing without rakeback, so i guess we're all morons.
