ok, the first post sounded like you work as a CS. Then be glad that your CS handles these types of players well and forces them to return.

Slight hijack: Anyone think Stars or Tilt would consider implementing a "run it twice" option in cash games? I suppose it'd slow down games a bit too much, perhaps it could be used at 10/20NL or higher where the money matters more?

What if they changed like .25 or something for it. Although you give up a small amount of equity, reducing risk must have some value.
