Challenge completed! Or not.

[SShcherbyna]

Hello everybody! 🤠
Sergio. 32 33 years old. Ukraine.

I mainly play MTT. But sometimes I want entertainment, so I will set myself challenges and then try to complete them (as if the challenge of "surviving in Ukraine" is not enough for me).

Challenge 1: Celebrating the release of Banzai 2.0! (14.12.2022 - 13.01.2023) Done!

Challenge 2: Man on the moon! (01.01.2023 - ) In process

Challenge 3: Highroller Sit & Go (11.01.2023 - ) In process

See you at the tables, man. Stay safe 🙂

Challenge 1: Celebrating the release of Banzai 2.0!

Goal: Earn sensei rank and black belt every day for a month. The release of Banzai 2.0 took place on December 14, so on January 13 the game lab should be like this:

I liked the redesign and update of the format, so I wanted to spend some time with this game. But since I have almost no cash game experience, and my bankroll is small, I will of course start with NL1. But if there is a profit (oh, dreams), then I may use this profit as a buy-in for higher limits.

But there is one nuance. Here sometimes rockets fly over power plants, so it may happen that I miss one of the days, or even several. I already had the experience of sitting without light for 72 hours. For the missed days, all the responsibility will fall on one old man who is very cramped in his very small country, so he wants more.

Who also plays Banzai, I wish everyone such an inscription at the tables:

So far the biggest bank that has been achieved. I immediately end the game as soon as I get the belt and the Sensei rank, so with a big stack I don't linger at the tables to be able to increase it even more. But you have to try somehow...1000BB 🤑

How do you track your rake? 4b/100 at NL1 isn't that bad. Keep it up sensei

In the interest of the new Banzai, I am happy to share data on hands played, hands raked and rake. Just send me a PM if you want a document with it

[SShcherbyna]

@Samba Several ways:
1. You count the number of hands in the lobby "Banzai" - "History". Then you count the amount of XP received in the Game Lab (1XP=1 rake cent). But counting hands will take some time)
2. Contact the Unibet support service and request a game history report for a specific period. That report will contain all the necessary information.

Cheers @Stubbe-Unibet but you're a busy enough man atm without having to deal with extra requests (i already make enough)
@SShcherbyna Ahh you're doing it the good old fashioned way! Thanks

[SShcherbyna]

I want to see something like this in Banzai:

Because the huge number of all-ins does not allow you to properly assess your winrate at the distance. All-in equity/all-in winnings - essential information in the game lab. @Stubbe-Unibet, should we hope for that?

Today I lost all the biggest pots as an all-in favorite. But it took a lot of time to consider all these cases in the history of hands. And the statistics in the game lab could easily say: "Bro, you're just unlucky, everything will be fine at the distance."

[SShcherbyna]

The fifth day of the challenge is completed.
The results so far are:

Hands: 3100

Rake: 4,03 BB/100

Winrate: -3,78 BB/100 🐟

But after looking at all the biggest won and lost banks, I understand that at the moment luck has turned to me just the wrong way. And 3,000 hands for such a discipline is simply nothing. So I hope for the best.

Yes, been on my wishlist for a while. Whenever we have time to do something for game lab, this is probably the first thing to happen (unless we come up with something nice for Banzai 2.0)

Percentage of all ins won is a fair indicator of luck when you have 1000+ all ins in a month, like in Banzai. For example, last month I had a 53.32% all ins won, and this month I'm running at 53.79% so I guess I'm in the threshold.

[SShcherbyna]

So...
It's Banzai Flip time
Let's see how much my super mega luck in the flips will affect Banzai's total profit. 🥷

Xmas everyone! 🥳

Updating the largest stack. 282.6 BB 🥰

About pain.
Why is there a belt achievement system in Banzai 2.0? Probably to encourage players to play more, get belts and good emotions, right?
What emotions will there be if, a few steps to the black belt, the player sees a closed table (because other players have left him) and the inscription "Just start again with white belt, it's such a small thing that you already had a brown belt."?
Over the past few days, I have had my red belt revoked several times, today - my brown one. I am very indignant about this.
Why can't I just wait at my table for someone to join? Or why am I not offered to keep my belt after joining a new table? It turns out that in theory there is a probability (albeit very low) that a player will never be able to reach a black belt, no matter how much he plays.
It shouldn't be like that.
@Stubbe-Unibet, is there any hope for a solution to this problem?

[SShcherbyna]

About pleasant.
Today was a very interesting situation. In about 30 minutes, the Sensei changed 5 times. All these times I was the Sensei at different tables. The top 3 stacks in the pool were of course also mine. 😋

King of the PARK!🏆  (who still can't profit to go to the next level). 🐠

Although after today's session I probably started to play in the plus, now I will do the calculations.

The seventh day of the challenge. The situation is improving.

Hands: 6185

Rake: 3,90 BB/100

Winrate: 3,67 BB/100

At L4 (my level), rakeback can be ignored at all (all kinds of missions and promotions will give much more), so I won't even count it.

Overall, I'm glad I came out in the black, even though it's only the first week of the challenge, and the variance in the short stack games is such that everything can change in a few hundred hands.

[SShcherbyna]

The average EV of flip tournaments from Xmas missions is just over €1. For 13 days of promotions at the distance, each person will have about 15 euros. Someone will be a little unlucky because I already took more. 😋

I already have a good profit on Banzai NL1, but still I was in no hurry to switch to a higher limit. I want to play a longer distance to make sure that I can really play profitably in cash games with short stacks.
But the ticket leaves me no choice, so expect me at NL20 soon😎. 

But it probably won't be for long...🐟

To make the most of the ticket, I will be playing today during the Banzai Bonanza. 🤑
So wait for me in the TOP rating (but still probably not).

[SShcherbyna]

@Stubbe-Unibet, if I don't get into the TOP 5 leaders of Banzai Bonanza (which is more likely for the limit at which I play), will it be possible somewhere to see what place I took in the leaderboard? Neither on the site nor in the client I found a place for the Bonanza leaderboard.

[comanimal]

The leaderboard will show up in the client when the bonanza starts 😉

[SShcherbyna]

Banzai NL1, 4 tables, 10 hours.
Iron ass Easy game.

If you count this race as rakeback, then rake does not interest me at all. 😄

But there is one problem. NL1 is no longer interesting, and NL5 is too expensive for me. I already had a situation when in a few hours I was in the red by 15-20 buy-ins. On NL5 it is too much for me. You have to either wait for NL2, or grind NL1 for a long time to have the courage to go further.

But that's not all that important, Banzai is primarily entertainment for me. I will still return to MTT after the challenge. Tournaments will have their own challenge, but that's another story.

agree m8, the only time ive nearly been at sensei my table was closed and had to start again, should be able to take your stack to a new table even if you just start a new table.

 

whats to stop people deliberately leaving you alone on a table just to stop you reaching the goal just to mess with you?
