Would I be right in saying, as I only play $10 sngs and low stakes cash games that I'd be better off with $25 refer a friend bonus (from one of you lucky folk who can refer me!) than taking 27% rakeback? I assume you can't do both?

The main concern is the deck gets shuffled twice - and there is no mention of 'what' shuffles the deck second time around. And why on earth would an already shuffled deck, need to be reflushed? There is no reasoning to do this whatsoever...

The boards always seemed to be set to get as much action as possible. you only get two other callers from your preflop raise, yet all 3 of you hit sets or draws - and this doesn't just happen once, it happens almost every hand.
Your flurry of amazing hands, all come with a flurry of Godawful beats.
Yes, it is partly to do with the players, but when I play poker, I take odds in mind - and instead of me coming out on top 1 out of 7 times, it'd be 1/2, and for me...that isn't good enough.
The odds of losing with a full house to quads, twice in an hour and three times in the session are astronomically tiny - yet it happened to me. Oh and quads, thats another thing - i'd see them every session. I've been at Hollywood and Full Tilt for just under two weeks, and i've seen less than four.

From the end of April until two weeks ago, it was literally impossible for me to finish every 48 hours with profit. You win big one day, and then lose it the next. Ironically, the session you lose the most, is the session you get the nicest hands and the sweetest of flops.

I've been playing elsewhere for around 10 days now, and already i'm 1.2 grand up, and this is from $100 NL tables. That's 12 buyins profit. And why? Because, it too, is swarming with fish...oh and ODDS STAND UP. I am actually playing hold'em, instead of "grab your nuts, close your eyes and hope your 75% favourite hand on the flop stands up" (and in most cases, it won't)

Fin.
