KrustyTheClown Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 How slow do you think we read? 😝 You were playing 4NL right? When you say escape from the "microverse" what exactly is your goal? Do you want to reach 100NL? GL. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GR1ZZL3R Posted September 22, 2023 Author Share Posted September 22, 2023 I've finally finished the last cash ticket I bought. It's taken quite a while and has been ultimately disappointing, at one stage being up to over 90E. A combination of run bad and indeed some tilting took a heavy toll, but maybe the one positive as such is that without rake I may well have been up a small amount. Always look on the bright side of life, eh? 😍 I won't use tickets again, they seem to distract me too much following the ups and downs too closely. I'm going to try to check my balance only once a week, cash only play, all my BP's to only be used on tourneys, if any, maybe save them for the anniversary missions and promos.

Rather than setting goals I'd just like to be able to say I was a winning player, hoping no one would ask at what stakes. On 9/21/2023 at 12:32 AM, KrustyTheClown said: GL. Thanks, I feel I'm going to need it! So I'm taking a break for this next week apart from the last 10E ticket for the live qualifiers (playing tonight) a 50E on Sunday and not playing more qualifiers till next year. Hopefully back refreshed and eager to go at the start of the new quarter. Maybe. 2 "It turns out that 75% of all poker players think they play better than the other 75%."

GR1ZZL3R Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 I can't say I've escaped the Microverse but at least I'm showing a profit over all the formats of poker offered by UB. The Christmas Missions were (nearly) completed with a fair (micro standards) profit and a few larger size mtt tickets to play with. The one thing I've got to grips with better is the variance, seeming to go long periods,10,000 hands or more, and feel I'm getting nowhere, but still be up a few BB/100. I simply don't play enough hands or time to get an accurate picture, I want to carry on but it's not a priority. I've just withdrawn some cash and the total net withdrawal figure has climbed another small amount, so maybe I'll settle for that. I'm going to drop this blog but start a new one for the New Year, Good Luck all and Run Good. 4 "It turns out that 75% of all poker players think they play better than the other 75%."

GR1ZZL3R Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 FINAL UPDATE Well, it's taken a long time but I finally saw a ticket through to the end. Statistically not brilliant reading but I'll trot them out anyway. Fifty five sessions of torture, 31,176 hands and €49.58 of pain and pleasure. Only 1 flop per 10.392 hands, and only a paltry 1.58 BB/100, but that's not really the point. I have won on other tickets before but this was different, a sort of now or never last throw. A big downturn over the Christmas period got me madder and madder, and to be fair once I got stuck in and more determined things swung around. Since the low point, €56.60 down, I played 16,672 hands and made €106.18, a much better rate of 6.36 BB/100. I'll take it anyway and will carry on, a Hexapro boost adding to the upturn. So I can't say I've escaped from the Poker Microverse but I feel I'm becoming a little more competitive down there and will continue for some time yet. I feel a withdrawal is in order, but not wanting to upset the RNG or poker gods I'll leave a healthier balance to carry on with. A Jack Daniel's or two might be in order. 🥃 7 "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 January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 FINAL FINAL UPDATE Following yesterday's update there was even more to add. A €50 ticket from the Xmas missions had been regged a fortnight ago for the last big tourney in the Slobberknocker series. I normally would not have played such a tourney but free is free so let's go. It didn't start particularly well and frankly I was getting a bit bored, snooker was on the telly and concentration kept landing but things picked up and eventually it turned into my 2nd best ever tourney result on UB. The details are fairly standard, I don't think I ran particularly well or played brilliantly, most hands were fairly straightforward, but I did do one or two things I might not have a few months ago. Anyway, I took €156.25 in bounties and €67.20 for 42/301. My BR at the start of the day was €120.53, at the end €645.71, with a cash ticket finished, a free Hexa ticket, a free Major ticket, without a doubt my best spread of results in the Poker Microverse. Now all I have to do is build on that. 🥃 I slept well last night, dreaming of the challenges ahead. 😴 3 "It turns out that 75% of all poker players think they play better than the other 75%."

GR1ZZL3R Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 Latest update I might not have escaped yet but I feel I'm picking up velocity and may yet make a break for it! 🙂 3 "It turns out that 75% of all poker players think they play better than the other 75%."

HardGain Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Well done on that! Nice track of session, I should do the same . Interesting only one day of downswing, but it was quite heavy, the next day you were back on track! 💪 A lot of volume the last five days. It was for a reason or you just felt to play that much ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR1ZZL3R Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 Thanks @HardGain The tracking of sessions and using a ticket is basically to keep me honest. It's too easy to "forget" to record a bad session but when the ticket's done the figures have to tally. I don't know if you spotted but the first few sessions were all 1 tabling, fine when things are going well but sheer boredom ( being dealt hand after hand of "unplayable" trash) leads to some loose play, an ill judged bluff, a loss, a determination to recover losses, and the downward spiral begins. I've noticed this in the past and as here, the next few sessions playing 3-4 tables keeps me involved and not tempted to get too loose out of frustration. If I get involved in hands at two tables I can easily sit out at the other two and not get distracted. I wanted to finish the ticket today, (not got any prize drops) to concentrate on the missions, a few hundred hands or an hour or two a day is plenty for me. And following what you said in discord, the tracking and pretty pictures is some sort of reward and can help motivation. 🥃 1 "It turns out that 75% of all poker players think they play better than the other 75%."

GR1ZZL3R Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 UPDATE I've finished the two cash tickets, after hardly using them at all for the anniversary missions for which they were bought. The €4 was €20, 250 flops, the €10 was €30, 150 flops. For some reason these days I feel more comfortable playing €10, and this has been reflected in my stats over the last couple of months. As you can see they are only small sample sizes so the next step is to play much more. I'm going to clear my account at the end of this month (over €300 up 😇) and play with the 10,000 BP's that will be left in the shop, sticking to €4 cash games for the time being to try and get some meaningful sample sizes. I had collated nearly 9,000 hands at €4 and over 30,000 at €10, still smallish samples, but that was the old way of playing, getting bored, tilting, short sessions, trying to book a win as soon as possible and loads of other reccy? behaviour. I'll update again on the last day of the month and (maybe) set some small achievable goals, maybe start a new blog, (yet again.) 3 "It turns out that 75% of all poker players think they play better than the other 75%."

HardGain Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 well done there! You will play only 10NL soon, I guess? And it's March 22nd tomorrow, with Momentum thing. Will you give it a go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardGain Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 yeah, not entusiastic about hexa too, but got to try if 20c extreme works for that one 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GR1ZZL3R Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 There is no counter update except for the whole day, so you (or someone) will have to play 10 Extremes to see if they work, possibly a touch frustrating if they don't. I'll give it a miss for the time being. "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...
