GR1ZZL3R Posted August 7, 2022 Author Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) More highlights. 🙂 How often are we going to see Haaland scoring assisted by Kev? 🤔 Early days yet but Erling only just over even money to be top scorer. To be honest I'm shocked by how few markets are up, so far there's only the title winners, relegation contenders, top scorer and next manager to leave, pretty poor. My only football bet of the weekend, 1/1, a 100% strike rate so far. 😁 How long is that going to last? 🤨 "Where are the lowlights?" I hear you cry. Just one, but it's a biggie! "MALTA OR BUST" V250.2 One hour 14 mins, 76 hands, out in 34th of about 40 so far. 😭 It's not all fun. 🕺 Edited August 7, 2022 by GR1ZZL3R 2 3 "It turns out that 75% of all poker players think they play better than the other 75%."

GR1ZZL3R Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 As I suspected, individually the prices are too short for me, I should have gone with them much sooner. Ought I to have the @Stubbe-Unibet mindset and blast them? as I still think they'll both happen, barring the usual unforseen circumstances. 1 "It turns out that 75% of all poker players think they play better than the other 75%."

GR1ZZL3R Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) Nibbled in just before the start from 13.00 to 12.00, set off in the front and looking good. 😄 Down to 10.00 at the off, set off for home with not much else looking likely, I'm riding along in my chair giving it all I've got. 😲 pumping for all I'm worth. 😖 One flew out from the pack giving chase 😱 but we just held on. 😬 Exhausting race, time to recover. A nice hot strong cup of tea should do it. ☕ Edited September 6, 2022 by GR1ZZL3R 3 "It turns out that 75% of all poker players think they play better than the other 75%."

GR1ZZL3R Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) I know the rake at lower stakes can be somewhat high but it's just another of those things that micro stake recs have to put up with. It's not something I spend too much time thinking about but it was brought home to me just how much it can impact your win rate. Only having about twenty minutes spare, rather than the usual minimum of one hour I set aside for a poker session, I logged into Sky to see if there were any tables I fancied playing. There were 6 full tables so rather than go on the waiting lists I opened an empty one, not my first choice but something I am far more comfortable doing these days. I waited less than a minute and villain pops up, immediately raising to 4bb, somewhat unusual, but everything happened so fast I didn't even notice if I'd previously tagged him. I had what I thought was a reasonable starting hand so called. A promising flop, I checked, he bet, I raised, he called. The turn didn't seem to alter much and because villain had called my raise rather than jamming, I'm sure he would with a set of tens, or even top pair, I decided to carry on betting, thinking rather than hoping I had him beat. A lovely river, nothing to do but ship it, snap called and first hand done. 🤣 Villain immediately left so I was sat a minute or two, then I noticed I'd only £7.40 in my stack, assumed villain must have started short stacked, so off to the lobby to have a quick check, and as you can see he did start with the full £4.00. The point is, not that I was all in on the first hand and won, a very rare occurence, but that the rake was 60p, or 15 big blinds. 85 bb won rather than 90 or 95. Such is life. I sat around for another 5 minutes, no signs of any of the other tables breaking and no heads up takers, so my total play on Sky for today, so far, is exactly 1 hand. 😂 Tme for a ☕ then on to the UB flop promo.

AbvUrPlayGrd Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 When you see the rake displayed as clearly as that, it strikes home just how much of an impact it makes. At least 07condja didn't pay rake, that's the benefit of losing 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR1ZZL3R Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) I've watched to some extent before while playing heads up how both players stacks get eaten into, just not at what pace. Maybe after 20-30 hands neither is winning or losing but both stacks are only £3.80. Of course if you have auto top up on it's even less noticeable. Is that good or bad? 🤔 Edited September 16, 2022 by GR1ZZL3R 1 "It turns out that 75% of all poker players think they play better than the other 75%."

AbvUrPlayGrd Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I stopped using the auto top-up feature for that reason and because I think it's dangerous if you're having a bad session and just don't realise how bad, until you close and look at your balance ...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P0kerM0nk Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I'm trying to keep track of my average rake paid and think I pay about €2 - €2.25 per hour per table @ 25NL. As I'm 8 tabling right now I pay €16-18 rake per hour which is quite the number you have to beat just to break even. But that being said, also the positive thing about this is that when I have a break even session I know I actually made €16-18 per hour, just not for myself 😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR1ZZL3R Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 That's interesting @P0kerM0nk but I'm not sure I'd want to go that far at my stakes and volume, 😱 for the record how do you do it? 🤔 1 "It turns out that 75% of all poker players think they play better than the other 75%."

P0kerM0nk Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 The 8 tabling? Not my preferred amount but I'm trying to get to the next loyalty lvl before the end of this month, I prefer 6 tables when I'm comfy at a stake, if not I play 4 to keep max concentration. I see all my tables on desktop so that's a benefit but it is also the max I can play, 9 seems too much. And it can get a bit chaotic once a few tables get short handed as it speeds up the game. All about practice I guess, you kind of get used to it but the more tables you play, the less you can keep track off how opponents play. Especially important to see how the recs play. Back to 6 tables once this month is over imo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuteRaven Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 7.5% rake is completely insane even for micro stakes. I've never heard of this Sky Raker site and I can see why, with that rake and interface. 😂 1 hour ago, P0kerM0nk said: 8 tabling Impressive! I don't think I could 8 table profitably (even in SNGs). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR1ZZL3R Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 @P0kerM0nk I'm currently 6 tabling purely for the 90 flops a day, averaging about an hour and about 550-560 hands per hour. I've kept track of every session so far and will show the results when the promo is over. I started the first of this month after letting go of a cash ticket. 😬 I'm actually quite enjoying it with some success but think I may settle regularly at 4, it can be a bit of a rushed decision process. I did actually mean how can you keep track of the rake paid, not that I'm likely to. @CuteRaven Sky is only available in the UK and I believe for Norway (don't ask me why). I play there (not as much as UB) for a few reasons, table selection and tagging opponents being the main ones, but they can tag and note take on you as well. The software hasn't been updated in forever, at least 15 years I reckon, same table background, same limited avatars, clunky reactions, sometimes having to click 3 times for a response, so it is a very far second choice, probably 10th or worse for anyone playing a decent amount. My overriding perception is that it's very soft at the micros, but my actual figures beg to differ, I'll go into that in more detail in a couple of weeks. They should have DNegs to promote them for the rake. 2 "It turns out that 75% of all poker players think they play better than the other 75%."

AbvUrPlayGrd Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Sky is incredibly soft and I know of a couple of stables that play there for that reason (or at least used to, may have changed in the last couple of years). I have an account kicking about somewhere but it was so antiquated that I couldn't live with it. They do have the ability to take notes as you say. Which is always nice. That's really my only gripe with UB. Not having the ability to take notes. I think it's great being able to change ID's and not allowing software but I really don't understand why we can't have notes or even just colour coding. Would make life so much easier AND UB would make more money 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P0kerM0nk Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 @GR1ZZL3R rake paid can be tracked by the loyalty system, 1 point per 1c raked or 100 points per €1 Alternatively, if you have a playthrough you can check the % you gained in a session and calculate how much it is worth as per your RAKE requirement. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GR1ZZL3R Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 A rapidly diminishing head, just hung on.🏇 😓 2 "It turns out that 75% of all poker players think they play better than the other 75%." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR1ZZL3R Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 Another win by a rapidly diminishing head, reminds me of my poker balance, rapidly diminishing. 😬 That's not strictly true, but after starting the King of Flips promo with some pretty decent wins while seeing 90 flops per day, thing's seemed to settle down to normal. In the middle of the month I was running at about 16-17 bb per100, ultimately I've finished it with a tiny profit. Twenty three sessions, each averaging just about an hour, mostly six tabling (too many) and 3 buy ins profit at a less than spectacular 2.3 bb/100. Meanwhile at Sky my perception that it is a softer site is holding up well, the same number of sessions but far more profit for far fewer hands in roughly the same time frame. I was 6 tabling here mainly just to get the flops in, calling far too often, playing out of position far too often, and... sharp intake of breath, limping. I suspect this is a lot to do with bad habits picked up elsewhere where the majority of 2-4c players really do limp, call and play a very passive game. That's one of the main reasons I played less hands there, only 2-3 tabling most of the time because you tend to get involved in a lot more hands. The positive's are that profit is profit anyway, far more welcome than losses, and obviously the figures would look far better with out rake or with rakeback. I'll play the King of Flips later (78 tickets, should have made 88 I think) then take a few days break from poker, until the new quarter, where I intend to play 5-10c, (what a daredevil) 4 tabling max, and play a bit more. No break from the 🏇🏇🏇 though I'll restart the figures on Oct 1, and the roulette research continues unabated. Good Luck to anyone flipping or otherwise, an update later. 🍻 5 "It turns out that 75% of all poker players think they play better than the other 75%."

GR1ZZL3R Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 Nothing exciting on the King of Flips, the most I won were 5 in a row giving 200 BP. So altogether: 10 BP 20 BP 0.40 UO ticket €1 Hexa ticket 400 BP I don't think I actually lost 5 in a row so fair enough. 😁 6 "It turns out that 75% of all poker players think they play better than the other 75%."
