LOL Everest

I received an e-mail from Everest offering me a nice $50 bonus if i decided to make an account. Having a proper bankroll for nl10 now, i decided i would head over there and give it a go. An added benefit is that the bonus releases incrementally, rather than as a lump sum, so i don't have to play a bunch of hands to get my money.
I withdrew my $220 from party on Friday night and go to work on Everest. Initially i was just one tabling, getting myself used to the software. Overall its bareable but not as sleek and easy to use as pokerstars. All this is excused by the overall awful standard of play at Everest NL10, which is much worse than stars. People seem to love getting it all in preflop with pretty much any pockets and most suited aces. Subsequently i have managed to start pretty well:
I wouldn't say im running great by any means at the moment, but the hands i have won have been things like aipf against a tilting nutcase, my AsKs > Ah2d for full stacks. Hopefully this continues.
Bankroll: $259.36
Bonus: $5.20 out of $50
