Sit and Go Grind - My Blog
Hello everyone,
I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but I’ve decided to start a blog. I’ve been in the poker world for years, and I’ve never kept a blog before. Partly for fun, and partly because I think it will help motivate me to put some pressure on myself.
A little background about myself: I’m currently 33 years old, from the Netherlands, and I work as an account manager in the print industry. In my daily life, I’m a father of two amazing children. I enjoy strength training, hiking and cooking. I’ve been playing poker since I was about 18 and was quite successful during my student days. During the pandemic, I got back into it and started playing again, purely for a little extra cash.
I will mainly focus on 5-max SNGs, but I also enjoy playing some tournaments and cash games from time to time. My bankroll starts at €500, and I plan to begin at the €4 and €10 limits. If enough games are running, I want to focus as much as possible on the €10 games. I typically play around 8 tables at once. For both sit-and-gos and MTTs, I will adhere to the following bankroll management:
€0 - €300: Up to €5 SNGs/MTTs
€301 - €1,250: Up to €10 SNGs/MTTs
€1,250 - €2,500: Up to €25 SNGs/MTTs
€2,500 - €4,000: Up to €50 SNGs/MTTs
€4,000+: Up to €100 SNGs/MTTs
In addition to online poker, I will also play some live games from time to time, and I plan to include those results in this blog.
I expect to update at least once a month, but I anticipate more like weekly or bi-weekly updates.
I hope to share great results, interesting hands or moments at the poker table, live poker stories, and possibly even some personal goals.
To set a small goal for myself by the end of this year, it would be great to reach €25 SNGs. This means I need to win €666 per month over the next three months. That should be achievable as long as I can maintain the volume. I hope this blog will help me with that!
If there are other SNG players who would like to brainstorm together, I’m always open to that. I wish you all enjoyable reading. Feel free to respond!
Current bankroll: € 500
Cash outs: € 0 +
Totall winnings since blog: € 0

Fourteen Years Of Heartache In The Microverse, Is The End In Sight?
At times it feels much longer but it is in fact 14 years since I started playing online poker. You'd think 14 years doing something would make anyone recognisable as a cut above the newbies, or fish, or recs, whatever's politically correct to call the newcomers these days, but sadly in my case time has not been so kind. Yes there have been some improvements, I actually call myself a winning player these days, albeit at a very small rate and amongst the lowest stakes it's possible to play at, but winning is winning. I've been a little over 6 years on Unibet, I never tracked my stats, deposited when losing and withdrew when winning, and although the figures are somewhat skewed to a small sample of mainly tournament wins, statistics don't lie, do they? A Little Housekeeping. 2024-04-01 15-11-08.mp4 The frustrating thing today, there always seems to be one, is that though I had the best intentions I'm already falling behind my schedule, loose and fluid though it is. I've not played a hand of poker today but I was playing for an unusually long time yesterday, (thin brag incoming) in the farewell to Ukranians and Bulgarians tourneys, one of which, the UAT version, I won, and cashing in the other, (brag over.) I've also started picking a few horses out here and there, posting them on YouTube, definitely NOT tipping them. That's it for now, updates as and when but hopefully regularly, and good luck all at the tables. Small update: Of course my number of hands played isn't for the full 6 years, only since the Game Lab came in, still a very small amount though.

These Are the Voyages...
Hi folks. Haven't been playing poker a lot during COVID due to some major obstacles, but getting back to it. Last year just 124h of poker and 445 MTTs (probably less than any year since I started playing around 2005) for some minor profit. Made over 60k€ from casino and sportsbook stuff though (concentrated more on those, as they don't require as much concentration and effort). Week ago played and got a little trophy: Yesterday woke up 8 PM, decided to jump right at the deep end (playing 50 R/A's too) and got 2nd place from Odyssey. Would've been fun to start this with trophy pics (also was like 6th at Gorsky) but better than nothing: Playing on other sites too, but naturally gonna concentrate on Unibet stuff here. Streaming in Finnish occasionally too (I usually check if there's some other Finnish poker streamer streaming and if not, might launch one myself) so feel free to join: https://www.twitch.tv/farseerfinland You'll probably see me around at R/A's from 5€ R/A to higher levels. Those are only MTTs I am currently playing (I like Banzai Bounties too, but too bad there's no offering of that at buy-in levels 5€ up when I am playing). Might change a nick though... haven't decided yet if it makes more good or bad 😄 Been keeping same nick in case I participate on some community promos so I don't forget to change my nick back.

The Journey Continues : Dubnjoy's WSOP, EPT and Inner Healing Process Yo 😎
Keep Da Mind On Da Grind (an Intro) Here's the thing : after playing professionally for 13 years, we kind of go through the (daily) motions. Of clicking buttons online while grinding 7-8 tables of PLO, NLHE and Hexapro - on Unibet, of course 😉. Of meditating for a couple hours daily to clear the mind before rinse-repeating the grind. Of going to your MMA class to strike away the tilt on boxing bags like a mama-fracker (if not directly into the faces of fellow MMA colleagues). Of taking the dog to the park or by the riverside to catch fresh air and for her, well... to poop and see if she can engage in a fight, of course!!!. Of preparing a lovely dinner for the gf as you have done so for the past 4 years (and a more fast-food one for her son). Of going out on weekends for lovely romantic dinners, more casual ones when her son tags along (as well as the dog), or of simply chilling together sipping on coffee on the sunny afternoon grass, you know ❤️... until it all vanishes away 😮. The gf, her son, the dog... The lovely weekends, gone in a flash! The cosy routine, a forgotten page tucked into the book of faded memories! All that remains is the grind, that eternal grind of pouncing on the mouse with that familiar omniscient Unibet fracking beeping sound when the PLO 400 tables are SWINGING up and down like an uncontrollable manic madman while simultaneously ending up HU at several NLHE tables against that oh-TOO-familiar-obnoxious-villainous-foe and also witnessing that failed attempt of binking a 10x Hexapro on the last table 😡🙃😉. Frack, FRACK and a thousand times frack 😡😡😡 Yup, all gone. Vanished into ether. Nonetheless, in the midst of all this vast emptiness, at the horizon a breach has opened itself into a never ending sense of freedom yo 😎 On the road ahead awaits a 3 weeks layover in Las Vegas for the WSOP. The main targets will be the Millionaire Maker, the 10k PLO Championship, The Colossus and the Main Event, of course. EPT Prague will also be awaiting in December - no fracking way I am going back to Bahamas this year 😡 -, while several small series in Montreal, Punta del Este and Brazil might require a stop... But one cannot simply engage in such an MTT live itinerary without prior inner healing, right, as lest not forget that we are just recently being exposed to the tribulations of a 4 year relationship separation, so I will be going to a 10 day Vipassana meditation retreat in a couple of weeks (in Buenos Aires) before hopping over to Peru for an Ayahuasca ceremony in the Sacred Valley. Yup, poker has granted me with an uncountable amounts of privileges over the past decade+, yet that 100k+ live MTT score still remains elusive... We got this yo 😎

300 days to 3x my Unibet Live ticket roll and win a package (and holiday).
Hi all, been a while since I attempted a blog and most of them have not been too successful so far. Hopefully this one will take off - should have more time to play and update, compared to previous attempts.
My goal is quite simple, I've got a fair few Unibet Live tickets (€500 worth), and will be attempting to turn them into a €1,500 package to a decent live event - UDSO or The Festival, whatever stop offers more sun and I've qualified for at that time. The main reasons for this challenge are to both use up the tickets that I've got and (hopefully) get to go to a live event that I'll use as a holiday in 2025. Finances are not looking stellar for the next year for a couple of reasons so holiday budget has had to be cut a bit short and this challenge can help with that 🙂
Aiming to play only €10s and €50s for now, with the 250s taking place next year. Will be avoiding flips as well, as I'm sure I'm cursed and run below ev on the 10 euro flips lol 😞
Let's see how far the 500 euro ticket balance will take me over the next 10 months or so, good luck at the tables

Option to show my hand
I would like to be able to show my cards after the hand is over. I think this option adds entertainment to the game, for example when you can show your opponent that you have bluffed him.

The Betting Button Design Causes More Misclicks
Lately I've started paying more attention to misclicks and noticed that they happen way more often on the Unibet software than anywhere else. At least for me, the layout of the buttons regularly causes two mistakes:
1. In tournaments when trying to press the small "All-in" button, I instead hit the call button which can lead to disasters on later streets
2. When trying to click the small input window for an opening size or a 3bet, I too often just hit the "Raise" and minclick it instead
I've now learned to scroll for a 3bet instead of typing it in, but for opening sizes and shoves i keep constantly misclicking which can completely f up the hand. I guess the difference to other sites is that on Unibet the preflop size buttons are in the middle of the betting slide and the action buttons, instead of being on top of them both, which in my experience leads to less misclicks (picture below).
Has anyone else been facing this same problem with the layout of the betting buttons?
