Switching from boss media to ???

Hi all,I currently play €5,25 husng at interpoker. I want to switch because I cant easily see mucked hands and the structure is to fast for my liking. (if I get to the tens structure will be better though). (I got the rakeback offer on this site, and I just cleared the requirements to get it) Eurobet seems to offer 100% first deposit bonus here that comes down to 62,5% rakeback + their vip. (I think!?) But they ask 10% rake? (correct me if I'm wrong) I'll probably going to rake in about 300-400$ a month. Any help in choosing what site is much appreciated!  Pltinum

I was hoping a fellow Euro

I was hoping a fellow Euro player might be of some help to you here.Did you make any new choices?A lot of players seem to be signing up with Boss lately.62.5% rakeback isn't bad for a 10% structure.  Full Tilt offered 27% for 5% rake.So take 27% of $5 for example on FTP, and you would have been paying $3.65 in rake on FTP.Compare that to 62.5% of $10 you get back on Eurobet and you would have been paying $3.75 rake on there.Of course if the bonus goes away you might have a lower percentage.Also it's kind of a crappy system for the ecosystem, the fish go broke faster if they don't have rakeback, at least on FTP the fish with zero rakeback were only paying 5%, on Eurobet they would be paying 10% and that sucks for the ecosystem and absolutely has some impact on winning players (greedy casino like poker rooms unfortunately are around).Honestly the Euro rooms as a whole have been pretty terrible to heads up sngs over the years.  PokerStars and Full Tilt, and later Cake and even later Merge have all been somewhat accomodating at times (FTP is obviously in major trouble now and Cake seems to be not far behind, but we're talking about pre black friday here), whereas many Euro rooms still greedily rake 10% at lower levels and it just hurts action and is a very predatory system that just takes too much from too low stakes of players, leading them to quit playing much faster (and not having too much fun doing it).I would certainly consider PokerStars an option if Eurobet doesn't have a lot of lower stakes action for you at a rakeback rate that is acceptable to pay their high rake there.
