Baby steps


Recommended Posts

First of all, you better turn around and never look back if you expect to see and are only interested of following things:

-bankroll management

-long term grinding

-steady updates and stats

-learning to be better player

But if you enjoy ultimate rec poker from freerolls to highest stakes and/or other gaming you might find some interesting to read from time to time.

Naturally, blog competition lured me in (thou it will be sad day for poker blogging if this makes it to top 3 🤣 ) but more importantly i find it interesting, and amusing, to read my own doings after some time as they tend to forget so soon.

Start balance as we stand is 0 at all levels, i'll probly wait if bug reports/centroll bring something to start with this week and go from there...

Which brings us to lesson number 1; get the value from where it's at. For example daily freerolls are full of players trying to win cent tickets when they could easily skip many levels of grinding simply with detecting bugs while playing and reporting them here. They are not so hard to find, without looking yet still keeping eyes open you can easily spot one from time to time just with playing or using sections of client. Ofc better for rest of us that peeps just don't bother or know to report 😄

Anyhow, like title says, no long term plans or goals but taking it day by day with baby steps. Ofc wouldn't mind if it developes to something greater but honestly that is just wishful thinking for now.

I don't want to be boring, but why not change your approach to BRM, change it a little, but it will greatly change the accessibility of the game and you won't have to wait for some kind of bonus or freeroll.
The point is to leave an "untouched" amount on the account, which will be a conservative BRM, and everything above - no BRM.
For example, if you have 10 euros in your account or less, you can only play centroll and nano, and if you have more than 10 euros in your account, you can play anything.
This has significant advantages compared to the complete absence of BRM, namely:
- Availability of the game at any time when there is a desire to play, instead of waiting for a freeroll.
- You will not miss very beneficial offers for the community (such as a farewell tournament for Ukrainians or flip tournaments of the community league).
- More play - more blog content - more chances to win.

I smell some degen stuff here 😄 Will be fun to follow unconventional approach to the whole thing. Maybe we are all doing it wrong and @Livertool will teach us how it must be done. The "from freerolls to highest stakes" thingy intrigues me a lot 🧐 GL GL and can't wait for the next update 💯

Wouldn't have guessed, after how i started this blog, that first thing i will answer is about brm but all good 😄

Actually (at least some part of) your suggestion makes sense even to me especially now when many tournaments which earlier would have been freerolls have turned to centrolls. Then it wouldn't matter if i have bankcodes with me or what ever and in addition it is usually bad "investment" to deposit to play centroll and then burn rest of depo to slots or other nonsense. Even as i consider both poker and slots as fun gaming it don't matter that much which product i lose or win with.

For nano tournaments i really have no interest, title fight centroll is ok imo as it can be very short road to bigger tourny and lower stake cash and hexas are fine with lowest stakes too.

Overall good suggestion, i try to keep this in mind for future but no promises 😄

Quite contrary, this is more what others shouldn't do as i can't compete with other blogs which keepers actually know what they are doing.

No doubt playing will be mostly at lower end but sometimes when i get some extra money i like to jump to other end too. Earlier posts about those sessions have been sprinkled all over community so maybe this blog is good in that way too.

Phew, whole lot of writing and not single hand played yet 😂 hopefully i get some actual poker content too in near future...

Maybe @Livertool wants to raise a painful topic for every poker regular with his blog? Sitting at the computer for days on end, even forgetting that you have legs that you can use, this is really a problem that should be paid attention to.

The more aggressive your BRM, the less time you will spend sitting at the computer, @Livertool, this is a brilliant solution!

Computers are so 90's, i and apparently @Rushbie too have turned next page of evolution with playing mostly mobile.

Pros:

-use even less muscles with laying at couch

-easy to refill drinks, do some drunk cooking or whatever while playing

Cons:

-use even less muscles with laying at couch

-easy to refill drinks, do some drunk cooking or whatever while playing

Yesterday was quite fairytale, pretty much couldn't do wrong what comes to gambling, great start for the blog. #not0lucky

I got bonuspoints from bug reporting (wont tell exactly how much, somewhere between 1 and 10000, cause they are not posted here overall so good intention of giving back might turn bad if stubbe gets being harrassed why some got this/some that so lets not go there) but anyways, won some while trying to complete first day of "play 10 5€ hexa for 3 days" promo and went to slots to try if i finally manage bonus on more unusual suspects. Has anyone got to freespins playing it or is it broken??? Must have already played 1000 spins without bonus, just before i was about to give up i got to jp round and won 1000x from it.

Screenshot_20240404-1542582.thumb.png.9b4d5d158dae20395ab72283e02e5ebd.png

Later played some xxxtreme lightning on other site and that too gave 1000x with lucky 21Screenshot_20240405-0044192.thumb.png.a97ef673845d7e62b0b4f3fa5d02481f.png

So what does numbnuts do after this? Hits the highest stakes ofc 😄

But even that wasn't mistake and managed to win some. Nothing special or totally crazy pots, biggest winScreenshot_20240405-110420.thumb.png.9676e9c5fd4487b5d450b045044c92e8.png

 

and loss

Screenshot_20240405-110300.thumb.png.09f4273e29a600f92a8a56bd462b4ec0.png

After the session withdraw big chunk of what i deposited back as plan wasn't to go high end for good, i am more than happy playing 1€ cash tables for now and trying to stick at that 

Level 2 acquired, balance little over 800€, 1600 bonuspoints and one unfinished banzai ticket

Screenshot_20240405-1100552.png.6c796b965d938b424c5ae603527740b7.png

Look at this guy! He reached Level 2 in one night while im only half way there playing 2-3 session for peanuts the last 4 days😄 I bet it's fun and all, tempting, but I will stick to peanut stakes - it's tilting enough 🤯

But peanuts are great, especiall salted. Munching them as we speak 😄

Once again, can't underline enough that this ain't educational blog or what anyone should do, just what i do. Tbh i wasn't sure should i post this so none wouldn't get any stupid ideas but then again what would be point of this blog if i wouldn't keep it real with wins and losses, and there will be latter too we can count on it. It was just one superlucky day between thousands of no luck and risk free play at big tables as i would have been up for the day anyways.

If something, i bow to all who have patience and stamina to grind the longer route upwards.

But anyways, forgot to ask @Stubbe-Unibet would it be possible to squeeze belt rank somewhere in banzai? You have quite often some promo that certain belt has to be achievef so for those cases it would be quite helpful.

Didn't know that, ty.

But ultimately was asking if there is chance to get them at table too. When playing with phone it is hard to check things, bad for player and others at table too with delays. Just a suggestion and rhetorical question 🙂

You are finally learning the essence of gambling 😋 

What is in common with me and Trump? We just keep on winning and the more we win, the more people in social media tries to put us down. I like it 😄

Hexa mission? Success! +50€ profit (thanks to multipliers)

Banzai ticket? Success! 3.6x returned.

Inspired with this i was tempted to buy 5€ banzai ticket but bit too steep so end up buying the same 1€ with 100 flops. Wouldn't mind if there was something between 1€ and 5€ banzai, maybe someday.

And they say that Finns are jealous mofos, thanks for one positive reply 🙂 I don't expect anyone to happy for me but quite boring for blog that some peeps get tilted over it 🤮 

But i did others favour and withdraw and left only 40€, lets see the reaction after i grind it to four digits, that must be wrong too...

Since i can't post my playing lets turn yo beer. Anyone know who invented it? Fuck Jim Morrison grave, i want to pay respect to beer inventor 😄

Aaaaand nice to be sober again 🤣 

Managed to win 25€ tikiet from level 2 froll last night and jumped to next available tourny with it. At some point i was getting low on stack sitting with 27 on bb, setmining practically min raised sb called so thought why not, lets get lucky...after flop pretty much knew that i am going to double the and sure i did. Beauty of duckmining 😋

Screenshot_2024-04-09-11-42-51-274.thumb.png.eb836b8fc318aaa13f690586d60d03c3.png

But in the end didn't help a thing as the premiums seem to fail more often than crap hits...

Blinds were gettin quite high already so i somehow expected there might shoving incoming, raised 3x as i would have wanted to see flop but didn't matter that guy next to me went all in as after flop i would have gone all in anyways. Even with all the outs in the world didn't do shit.

Same thing last time i won ticket, 50€ that time. Pfai and once again premiums end the journy.

Screenshot_2024-04-09-11-45-02-533.thumb.png.16855be7bb852801dc90c8a7536ff402.png

So lesson to learn is that just shoot from the hip, the worse your cards the better to play with them as if you hit you feel great if you lose that is only what expected while premiums can only fail you and you are left feeling what is the point of this. And with this lesson and state of mind i am heading to community league so don't be surprised if you see some wild ranges. Heads up 😉

(Yeah i know the day will come when i win with won ticket, just very frustrating to win something just to be pissed off in yhe end. I don't know how sat players can handle it time and time again)

About replayer and sidelining this comment, i switched from tablet to phone yesterday and as i got table on my phone it was my time to act preflop. Hand was played, went to see it on replayer but it wasn't there. Replayer only started hand after previously mentioned so is it suppose to work like that? After all, i was on new device way before hand in question was finished so don't make sense to me why it didn't show on replayer 🤔 

It was found on hh and i could check it from there so it was fine but anyways.

Negatives of creating blog and increasing playing for content? Unibet (once again) worried about my playing with pop ups at site 😴 Tbh, now it was slightly better with only suggesting to set some limitations instead of asking to contact cs about it but still.

Anyhow, @Stubbe-Unibet is this a bug and chance for me to get some balance booster 🥰 with report or just wrong set up of flip? Can't figure it out.

Caught my attention with being red with few minutes still to register

Screenshot_20240411-1227172.thumb.jpg.24ccb9fc3a6783de1c9e4ffaf4a3e74a.jpg

and even without being full with 9 players regged and min/max being 8-10 players, getting in wasn't possible anymore

When flips first started running players worked out the could register them after the tables had formed just before the flip started and be sat on a new table by themselves, skipping the first flip. The first solution used to mitigate it was to close reg 5 mins early. It's obviously not the best experience for players so was replaced with caps so no additional tables could be formed. This flip looks like it still has the early reg closure on it.

Not a bug, just a missed template that needs an update

Didn't know if this was suggestion or general wonderment so lets go here with latter as i own this blog and can't be removed for wrong section 😉 

Anyhow, poker levels to me seem to be quite low and high oriented.

Ok, level 2 gets you rakeback and freeroll (which are good imo), level 3 freeroll ( still good as last time i reached level 3 and regged froll but forgot to play still won ticket 😄 , opinion might change) but after that there ain't much incentive. For sure rb increase lidl bit (and l5 you get bonuses if algorithm/poker team favours) but that is pretty much it, you would have to reach level 6 to rb to be continued for next quarter, in between sure some xtra points (not worth imo) so gap is quite huge between l3 and l6. 

I know that every level would like to get more, not saying that, just saying as someone who is at l3, probly getting at l4 but l5 would need whole a lot more commitment which would be quite useless imo, regarding to levels. Naturally ain't playing for levels but something that came to mind after scrolling through loyalty levels.
