Rake Back - Why not?

Playing without rakeback..makes no sense.
Nothing to risk, or anything to afraid.
You just get at least 30% of your rake back.
Why not?
So simply is the question . :)
You play and at the end of the month , you get your money back.
Why leave em at the casino? Looks so easy and it is.
I started getting rakeback via rakebrain and i'm very satisfied.
Check it out

The Big Break Starts Now...

Ok,haven't posted for long time ago..and i won't post also for long time i think

The reason?? lately i was playing only sng 3+0.3,5+0,5 and 10+1
I was going fine and i was very satisfied of my play,i was at my best i think

So the day today came...and i think i have no words to describe what happened.
So many and so really bad..bad beads i think it's a world record.
So decided to take a break and to reconsider some thinks .
I will post some hands for your enjoyment ...i will start with the last one..
that was the most amusing i think.

What about Pacific Poker??

Pacific Poker In Review

Well , time to check out also this one major poker-room ,with the 888 behind it that ensures my money at least :)

Tables from 0.05-0.10- to 10-20 is fairly enought for me..not a high staker here...:)

Not so rich freerolls...but i saw an advert that drove me there about the matador freeroll that sends one player for free at World Heads Up Tourney at Barcelona...Tried to qualify there and last year but nope...But i can't find something...it seems that the promo is over...:(

Anyway ..i checked out the rooms,very strange graphics but they seem fine to me. Everywere there is an automatic count of the chips and you can see it all the time at the table,something that i like. I would like also a few stats to be there,to be able to trace better my game.

In general is a good room..not something extreme good..but it's ok to play,to try to get some fishes ...:)
