Hello @Macabre and welcome to the community! I will tag some mods here ( @Andy-Unibet @Stubbe-Unibet @ReCorpH ) and hope we will get an answer or start a discussion on this topic. I have also another question. I have already completed the January missions and have two tickets for the monthly freerolls in my acoount (for the 1000€ and for the 3000€ tournament). As I have a German account I will not be able to take part in these freerolls anymore. I also have two Betting Freeroll tickets. Is it possible to receive something else (few 1€ MTT tickets or a small amount of bonus points for example) as a compensation?

One year ago I set myself the following goals for 2020: Stay disciplined! Respect my bankroll management!Improve my SNG-, MTT- and satellite-play!Qualify for at least one Unibet Open event in 2020!Build a bankroll and become a regular 4€-SNG player!Do not play any HexaPro games, unless with free tickets!I am very happy to announce that I achieved all of them except number 3. There were no live events this year because of the pandemic, but I did build a solid ticket bankroll and hopefully I will qualify for UO events this year. The first graph below shows the ticket bankroll during 2020. The second graph shows my money during 2020. I managed to turn the starting bankroll of 180€ into 1541,24€ at Unibet. During the 30 Day Challenge in August and in the last weeks of December I spent lots of hours on the tables, which explains the big jumps. Overall the bankroll grew from month to month, which makes me happy and shows my progress. Main goals for 2021: Stay discipled! Respect my bankroll management!I had separate bankrolls during 2020 (cash games, SNGs, MTTs). This helped me a lot to realize, which games are best for me and where do I make/lose money. From now on I will see my money as one overall bankroll. My bankroll management rules are the following: buy-ins <=1,5% for MTTs and <=2% for SNGs.Improve my SNG-, MTT- and satellite-play!I will try some video course for MTTs. Until now I used poker books for SNGs and satellites, let’s try some other study approach.Play at least 10 UK Tour/UO satellites finals.Reach the 25€ SNG level.My new bankroll management allows me to play 25€ SNGs, but I want to beat the 10€ level first. I need to play at least 1000x10€ SNGs with a ROI > 7,5% in order to play on the next level.Stay away from the cash tables, HexaPros, casino slots and sports betting.Small exception will be the monthly missions, community promos, etc. But I need to play only on the lowest limit possible.Make a Supernova (100€ buy-in) debut and a Big Bang (200€ buy-in) debutThese are the biggest weekly buy-in events at Unibet and I wish to play them just once this year. I can achieve this goal either through satellites or if I build a five figure cash bankroll xD

First of all Happy New Year. Let’s hope we all stay healthy! December was my best poker month ever! I had my biggest ever score online (if I don’t count the 2000€ UO package, that I won 2019) and some other big MTT scores. My main game was still the 4€ 5-man SNG, unfortunately the results there weren’t great, despite playing well the whole month. Let’s first take a look at my December goals. Evaluation of monthly goals: December 2020 Satellite goal: play 50 satellites NOT COMPLETED35 satellites playedSNG challenge: play at least 302 SNGs on the 4€ level (so that I will reach 1000 games at this level) NOT COMPLETED216x5-man SNGs playedReach 12 500 challenge points (current: 7793) COMPLETEDI finished the quarter with 20 415 challenge points.Complete 25 of the 31 missions (31 Days of Christmas) and get a ticket to the €5k freeroll in January COMPLETEDStudy goal: Finish “Sit ‘n Go Strategy” and finish the notes on the book: NOT COMPLETEDPlay the 5€ Deep Stack Tournament at least 5 times (1 re-entry per tournament allowed). With that plan I will lose 50€ in the worst case scenario. NOT COMPLETED 2020- Results Update #32 SNG Starting bankroll: 50 €; bankroll after week 48: 663,50 €; bankroll after week 52: 628,18 € Cash games Starting bankroll: 100 €; bankroll after week 48: 55,39 €; bankroll after week 52: 94,55 € Satellites UO Ticket Bankroll: Unibet UK Tour Bankroll: MTT (bankroll 818,51 €) Some nice results at the MTTs this month. Below is a list with the significant cashes: 271,94€ 1000€ MoonWalk (1/102)254,00€ 2000€ Nebula (3/213)184,15€ 800€ Gargle Blaster (2/28 )136,40€ 600€ Dark Matter (2/84)34,89€ 300€ Gargle Blaster (5/42)32,00€ 1500€ X-Mas Turbo Freerolls (8/522) I also won a 50€ Neptune ticket after investing 10€ into a qualifier. Now I have 2 bullets for this one, which I will use soon. Ending bankroll at Unibet after 2020 Double or Nothing (56,15$ bankroll) Once again a reminder, that I have a couple of bucks at another poker room. I won’t set any January goals. In my next post I will evaluate my year and set some goals for 2021!

Welcome and good luck at the tables!

Great start of December, let's hope I won't jinx myself with this post. 1000€ hit once again mostly after 1 big MTT score. This time I promise myself to stay focused, disciplined and away from the 10€ SNG tables

It was a hard month for me. I created this blog in order to help me, and it is a tough period for me right now, so I will be completely honest here. As you can guess I lost some money in the last 30 days. The month started actually in a perfect way, in the first two weeks my bankroll even reached 1000€ for the first time ever. A milestone, that is very important for me, because I’ve always had this feeling that I can deposit 100€ and then turn them easily into 1000€. Back in my gambling days I was couple of times very close to reaching this milestone, mostly by playing the roulette and placing some big sports bets. Of course in the end I always lost my money, because of the pure gambling. In the last 2 years I definitely got more disciplined, cut off the casino stuff completely and reduced sports betting to a minimum. My focus got all on poker, where I followed very strict bankroll management. And the things got better, slowly, but surely my bankroll grew and I finally reached the “golden” milestone. And then came this problem (it is mostly mental and I believe most of us have this one): “When I win I do always right, when I lose I also do everything right and I blame mostly the bad luck, the variance and the fishy players.” Of course this is a complete nonsense and bull❤️♥️❤️. A results oriented thought, which is so wrong… The fact that you win does not mean that you didn’t make any mistakes. Hell no, sometimes even with some fundamental mistakes you win a hand or even a tournament, because you got lucky. When I reached 1000€ I took the decision to play some 10€ SNGs. It is not a big problem, I have the bankroll. The problem is that I didn’t plan this. And when I bubbled the first couple of tournaments after bad beats it got me frustrated, I wanted to immediately reach 1000€ again. Basically I started other 10€ SNGs and long story short I lost the majority of them. It will be easy to blame just the variance. But to be honest, I still make lots of mistakes in the SNGs, the competition on the 10€ level is tougher and my mistakes were punished. It didn't stop here. I placed a bet of 50€ on 3.5 odds in order "to win back my losses"... I lost the bet. After this long intro let’s take a look at my November goals. Evaluation of monthly goals: November 2020 Satellite goal: play 15xUK Tour satellites COMPLETEDSNG challenge: play at least 100 SNGs COMPLETEDA total of 160 SNGsComplete all parts of the November missions COMPLETEDStudy goal: Read at least 1 full chapter of Collin Moshman’s “Sit ‘n Go Strategy” and take notes COMPLETED 2020- Results Update #31 SNG Starting bankroll: 50 €; bankroll after week 44: 682,68 €; bankroll after week 48: 663,5 € In my previous post there was a mistake in the bankroll after week 44: 682,68 € is the correct one. Micro levels (1€-4€ buy-ins): 5x1€ SNGs (1 win, 2 other cashes); profit: 1,33 €. 25x2€ SNGs (5 wins, 3 other cashes), two of them were played with tickets, loss: 4,84 €. 110x4€ SNG games (27 wins, 24 times runner-up), two of them were played with tickets (bought with bonus points); profit: 62,01 €. My ROI at this level is 13,9 % after 698 games. I also played some HexaPros with tickets and for the monthly missions. I made 11,50 € profit. Small levels (10€ buy-in): Described with one word: disaster! 20 played (1 win, 5 times runner-up), loss: 89,18€. Cash games Starting bankroll: 100 €; bankroll after week 44: 68,56 €; bankroll after week 48: 55,39 € 13,17 € lost, mainly at the Omaha tables for completing the monthly missions. Satellites I lost some tickets. UO Ticket Bankroll: Unibet UK Tour Bankroll: MTT (bankroll 129,07 €) I “walked almost to the Moon”: I finished 3rd in the 5€ R/A MoonWalk. The price was 108,87€. I did a couple of rebuys and the add-on, but the profit was still good. Although it was a R/A tournament and I expected more loose play in the period of late registration, the things that I saw were just ridiculous. Guys shoving 50 BB with Q5o, calling all ins with 74o… I am seriously thinking of slowly switching to these events. You just don’t see such fishes in the 5-man SNGs. Of course there are lots of small mistakes from the players in the 5-man SNGs, but the edges are surely smaller. MTTs are of course huge variance and take lots of time. My main game will remain the 5-man SNGs for the near future. When my bankroll gets bigger I plan to make a transition to the MTTs. I also played the Betting Freeroll again 4-5 times. I managed to reach the final table once (9/406 for 20,20€) and did cash one more time for 2,12€. Double or Nothing (56,15$ bankroll) Once again a reminder, that I have a couple of bucks at another poker room. The plan is going to withdraw them and invest them in some books or online courses. New monthly goals: December 2020 I will have some more time for poker this month, so let’s push myself with the following goals: Satellite goal: play 50 satellitesSNG challenge: play at least 302 SNGs on the 4€ level (so that I will reach 1000 games at this level)Reach 12 500 challenge points (current: 7793)Complete 25 of the 31 missions (31 Days of Christmas) and get a ticket to the €5k freeroll in JanuaryStudy goal: Finish “Sit ‘n Go Strategy” and finish the notes on the bookPlay the 5€ Deep Stack Tournament at least 5 times (1 re-entry per tournament allowed). With that plan I will lose 50€ in the worst case scenario.

Have you thought about exchanging your UO tickets into smaller ones? You would then have 4x1€ UO tickets and more chances to either get your 4€ ticket back or even cash some money. I would have done it with the 10€ ticket as well.

Hi @Seb-Unibet ! Welcome to the community from me as well! You have written 8 pm and 9 pm, could you please let us now which time zone is it meant (probably CET)?

November is here (and soon this ❤️♥️❤️ty year is going to be over). I haven’t updated my blog the whole October, so this post may get a bit long. Overall it was a good month for me on the tables. I was able to play more games than expected and the bankroll continued his growth. Evaluation of monthly goals: October 2020 Satellite goal: play 15 satellites COMPLETEDI played exactly 15 satellites. Not much of a success here.SNG challenge: play at least 35 SNGs COMPLETEDA total of 114 SNGsStudy goal: Read at least 1 full chapter of Collin Moshman’s “Sit ‘n Go Strategy” and take notes COMPLETED 2020- Results Update #30 SNG Starting bankroll: 50 €; bankroll after week 39: 588,66 €; bankroll after week 44: 582,68 € 99x4€ SNG game (26 wins, 17 times runner-up), profit: 41,03 €. 11 of them were played with tickets (bought with bonus points), so that means 44 € additional to the SNG bankroll. 15x2€ SNGs (6 wins, 3 other cashes), profit: 17,49€. I also played some HexaPros (mistake!, I shouldn’t do it). I lost 8,50€… Cash games Starting bankroll: 100 €; bankroll after week 39: 68,56 €; bankroll after week 44: 68,56 € Satellites I invested 5x4€ UO tickets and managed to win just 1x25€ UO ticket, small profit after all. UO Ticket Bankroll: I played 7x1€ and 3x5€ UK Tour satellites. Unibet UK Tour Bankroll: MTT (bankroll 62,98 €) I played just the Betting Freeroll as MTT during this month (4-5 times). One big score here, when I finished 2/408 for 37,13 € and one other cash for 1,08€ (66/417). The Betting Freeroll will remain the one and only MTT, that I am going to play until the end of November. Double or Nothing (56,15$ bankroll) Just a reminder, that I have a couple of bucks at another poker room :D. New monthly goals: November 2020 Satellite goal: play 15xUK Tour satellites.SNG challenge: play at least 100 SNGsComplete all parts of the November missionsStudy goal: Read at least 1 full chapter of Collin Moshman’s “Sit ‘n Go Strategy” and take notes

Good luck!

@Trueplayer The rake for SNG 1€, 2€, 4€ and 10€ level is currently 5%, so this means you will get 5 Challenge Points for 1€ SNG, 10 for 2€ SNG, 20 for 4€ SNG and 50 for 10€ SNG. The higher levels are rake free at the moment due to a promotion, so you will not get any challenge points, but of course the prizes are bigger.

October has arrived! This means, that we are in the last quarter of the year, the challenge points are reset. The previous quarter was a record for me, when I collected 18 018 challenge points. It was also a profitable time and my overall bankroll reached 700 € for the first time. A four figure score in the end of the year looks now achievable. After playing so many satellites this year, it will be nice to win a ticket for an actual event. The winter edition of the UK Tour is the most realistic one for me until the end of 2020. Setting a results-oriented goals is never a good idea, so I am not going to do that. I will just try to get better and better in my game types and see what happens. That being said, here are my new monthly goals (low volume expected due to some deadlines at the office): New monthly goals: October 2020 Satellite goal: play 15 satellitesSNG challenge: play at least 35 SNGsStudy goal: Read at least 1 full chapter of Collin Moshman’s “Sit ‘n Go Strategy” and take notes

Hello guys, is there an option to check the expiring date of all your poker tickets in the new client? For example: I have 9x4€ UO Tickets and I can see just the expiring date of the first one. When I click on them it just shows me the available tournaments.

SNG Starting bankroll: 50 €; bankroll after week 38: 536,49 €; bankroll after week 39: 588,66 € 26x4€ SNG game (7 wins, 7 times runner-up), profit: 29 €. 5 of them were played with tickets (bought with bonus points), so that means 20 € additional to the SNG bankroll. 2x2€ SNGs, finished 2nd and 3rd, and 1x1€ SNG played. I also played 1x1€ HexaPro with a ticket. 5x multiplier and I won it, wohooo!!! Cash games Starting bankroll: 100 €; bankroll after week 38: 58,32 €; bankroll after week 39: 68,56 € Note: the results include wins during my 31 day challenge. Satellites No UO satellites played. UO Ticket Bankroll: I played couple of UK Tour satellites and won some 5€ tickets. Unibet UK Tour Bankroll:

2000 poker bonus points and 2x10€ freebets for me, please!

Good luck @Dennis__ Glad to see you back at Unibet. I will follow your blog with interest!

Thank you for the great competition Unibet and @AndreiBN. Congratulations to all winners! I would like 15€ as poker bonus points and 4x5€ freebets.

Challenge completed over I played a total of 807 games, so the challenge is finished with 80,7% success. SNG Bankroll at challenge begin: 202,17€; bankroll after challenge: 536,49€ 9x1€ SNGs (1 win, 1 other cash; profit: -4,25€); 35x2€ SNGs (15 wins, 6 other cashes; profit: 43,97€); 439x4€ SNGs (113 wins, 83 other cashes, profit: 201,10€); HexaPro profit: 13,50€; tickets bought with bonus points and rakeback: 80€. Here is my first result graph for the 4€ SNG level (463 played, ROI 14,2%). Satellites Bankroll ticket (UO+UK Tour) at challenge begin: 305€; after challenge: 445€. 16x2€ ,20x4€, 5x10€ UO and 1x25€ UO satellites played. UO Ticket bankroll: 24x1€, 8x5€ and 2x50€ UK Tour satellites played. Unfortunately I couldn’t win a ticket, despite playing my best game at the final yesterday. I finished 6th with 4 packages. When we were down to 6 the tournament went on for more than an hour with 6 times all in and a call and the short stack always survived, despite being 4 times an underdog and twice a flip coin. And then of course I busted… Unibet UK Tour bankroll: MTT (bankroll 24,07 €) 115 MTTs played. Nothing to be proud of here. I didn’t respect my bankroll management and played some 5€, 10€ and even 1x25€ tournaments. Double or Nothing (56,15$ bankroll) 72x1$, 48x2$ DoNs and 13x18-man SNGs played. Challenge and Bonus Points Unibet 17428 challenge and 1080 bonus points at the end of the challenge. Summary It was a new experience for me playing that many games for such a short time. It was fun at the start, when I ran very hot. Then it got ugly in the last 10 days. While I was playing solid, I just kept losing no matter how strong a favorite I was when the money got in. It was exhausting mentally. Future plans First two weeks off from poker (starting tomorrow). Then by the end of the year I want to play 4€ SNGs to get a decent sample on that level. I want to read the whole Moshman’s SNG Strategy book and take notes. Some UO and UK Tour satellites will also be played. No cash games, no DoNS and no MTTs!

Yes, I just found your post as well. I have missed it. Well the competition is getting even more harder now, I guess... Thanks for the reply!

Hello @AndreiBN when did the rules change? Usually you get 500 bonus points after completing round 3 and the raffle is also done then?

Hello @BarryCarter , hello Dara, I don't have a specific question right now, but I would like to use the opportunity to thank you guys for your great work on your book "Poker Satellite Strategy". It helped me a lot, I learned so much about the satellites and felt inlove with them. The book is written in a great way, very easy to understand even for begginers.

Yesterday was the first day since I started the challenge, when I had some real motivational and tilt problems. It all began on Monday: for the first time during the challenge I could’t secure at least 1 5-man SNG win (15 played, 5 runner-ups, 7-8 times bubble boy). I was coolered, bad beaten and card dead. Of course this is absolutely normal in poker, 15 games is nothing and a downswing like that will come from time to time. The previous weeks were great, I for sure ran hot and made good profit from the SNGs. I kinda got used to it and expected to run that good every single session/day. On Monday night I was frustrated, but went to bed and didn’t do anything stupid. The next day I was still tilting, a feeling that was new to me. First SNG of the day and of course I didn’t cash and things got worse. I took a stupid decision to use one 25€ MTT ticket (playing this kind of MTT tilting…not a good idea). You can imagine that it didn’t go well. I was card dead almost the whole time, couldn’t connect with a flop at all, despite playing decent preflop. This all summed up and I overplayed a middle pair and busted. The next wrong decision was to use the rebuy option (this time with cash). Of course it was a disaster as I was still tilting. So 25€ down, 25€ ticket busted and I started a SNG. Thankfully I won it and ended up my session as I was in a bad mental situation. Some US open and a miraculous comeback from Andy Murray after being two sets and a break in the third down made my evening (it was part of my betslip). I made this poker blog to help me. This post has exactly this purpose. Sorry if I lost your time! Greetings and you will hear from me on Monday, when I am going to post the results of the challenge!

@GR1ZZL3R haha 1 hour was a little bit optimistic of course. Still there is a shop near my flat, I always do a shopping list, so that I don't spend much time searching stuff. Then you can guess that my "cooking" isn't something fancy, and the vacuum cleaning takes me 10 minutes. Of course I do other stuff in between the games (such as washing the dishes for example). Anyway, wasn't exactly the point of my post 🤣🤣🤣 See you tonight at the tables at the Weekly Unibet Community Masters, hopefully at HU 🆒
