    there are bonuses you can buy with fpps, i'm not sure how this works out as an equivalent rakeback amount. I'll let you know.

    i'm playing there cos i logged in and found I could get a $22 SnG token, cashed for $60, there was a no-deposit bonus waiting to be cleared and I'd been meaning to learn 6-max at a smaller site anyway.

    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes
