Thanks Again For Not Betting

In a similar fashion to yesterday in the small multi i was playing this hand arose:

utg limps 300, im sb and top up with A7off. (3 way flop) A6x chk chk chk
turn is an A chk chk chk
river is a blank and i bet 300 which utg min raises to 600
i call ( i only have 720 left ) and he shows 66 !!!
another freeroll chance to get back in where i should have bust, anyway despite getting to almost chipleader of 6 it became a crapshoot and after 1 overraise i then lost on an unlucky stop and go to have gone 1st/5 with almost double 2nd places chips (pays to 3)

Never got going in mansion and busted against trips holding an overpair. That outcome was unavoidable whether i had limped or raised preflop.

Played cash for 2-3hrs alongside and made back 100$ ish so not much down on the night. Probably finish now but i'll see after a break as been playing 4hrs fairly constant.

How do you find mansion??

I have played the 100k a few times mainly due to the added value they put in, but find it slow going...

I only play the 100k at present but there is a good proportion of loose/tight players in it and ive sat on many different types of tables. If you mean the length and structure i think its fine. It can seem a struggle (slow going) some days but then its easy to forget that u just dont get value like this anywhere else on a daily basis. Often Sundays are the only day most sites have anything nearly as big. I reckon ive only played about 4 a week since the turn of the year as i know if i played more i would lose interest more often.

Just read your latest post, dont be in a rush to change sites. Do pokerstars not have a points system that is similar to rakeback in place ? In my experience if you are enjoying it and making a sum you are happy with rackback is not important. Eg if i was to play cash games on cryptologic with rakeback i find myself putting much more effort in to make a profit than the ipoker network im on the moment which i dont have rackback on.
