It's working again!

No problem. It has been confirmed there is a technical issue. Answer from live chat support: We are currently addressing technical issues that have come to our attention. I have promptly escalated the matter to our dedicated team, and they are actively working on a resolution. While we understand this may be inconvenient, we kindly advise you to consider attempting to log in again at a later time. We remain optimistic that the issue will be resolved soon, and we appreciate your patience during this process.🙏

I have the same issue and i'm contacting live chat support. There are 18 others in the queue, so I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with our accounts and it's more like a general issue.

My poker account has been blocked too, today. According to support I violated some T&C, they couldn't say which one it was. Of course not, since I haven't done anything wrong and I haven't done anything else than I did before. Wtf is going on with Unibet?

GL with the challenge and blog! We won't meet at the tables that much since I only play 2€ buy ins and lower at the moment, but I play €5 or €10 MTT's when I binked a ticket 🙂

I know you're right of course @GR1ZZL3R, but I like to have a drink when playing poker. Which shouldn't be a problem when it's not too much, but that particular evening it influenced my decision making too much. The best thing would be to play my 'high rollers' during sober poker evenings and play smaller buy-ins when I drink. The last days have been ok, with more profit and no mistakes against discipline. Yesterday I got 4th in the €5 Stratosphere, which I played with a ticket. I also was chipleading the €5 Shooting Star Bounty, I had some booties too, but due to personal circumstances I couldn't play for much longer so I shoved twice (with good hands) and suddenly I was out. Rather frustrating, but it happens. Two days ago I had a nice profit in two singularities and I also did well twice in the Sputnik Omaha Nano. MTT & SNG +115,69 SATELLITES -58,92 BANKROLL 256,77 TICKET BR 5,20

First of all thanks for the advice @GR1ZZL3R@FreedoM@AbvUrPlayGrdI really appreciate it. The separate bankrolls didn't really work, as you guys probably predicted 😏 So I merged the two rolls, but in my spreadsheet I can immediately see how much I win or lose with MTT's and SNG's and how much I spend on qualifiers. The bad news is that I made some bad discipline decisions, caused by some bad beats, bad results and I probably had too many drinks too. As for the bad results, I got frustrated cause I bubbled my 'high roller' some days ago. I managed to win a €10 ticket, played the Dark Matter with it and bubbling this one really hurt. And I know, it's just recreational poker, it's just one tourney, it's a long term game and so on 🙂 And still I get frustrated by this stuff with discipline mistakes as a result. I should accept the fact that sometimes I make these mistakes and all I can do is move on. The good news is that I'm making profit, thanks to some good results I had yesterday. I got 3rd in the Galaxy Omaha and I binked the 2€ Wormhole. And I got another €10 ticket, so I get a new chance in the Dark Matter. Let's go! MTT & SNG +67,24 SATELLITES -42,60 BANKROLL 224,64 TICKET BR 11,20

Sounds like an interesting advice, thanks @GR1ZZL3R! I added two extra columns, one to make clear that money from the MTT/SNG BR was transferred and one to make clear that money has been added to the Satty BR. But now I'm thinking it will be harder to know my actual winnings or losses in the two bankrolls. For instance when I transfer €20 from BR1 to BR2, BR1 goes down but it's gonna look like I made €20 less. I probably didn't do it in the most efficient way 😄

Yesterday I finally had my first winning session of this challenge. I made small winnings in the MTT's thanks to a 3rd place in the Galaxy Nano, I won some tickets and also made a small profit in the SNG's. I also registered again for the 0,04 Supermoon flips and won 4 X 0,40 tickets. I'm still not sure how I will deal with the satellite BR. If I book a big win I could divide the winnings between the MTT/SNG and the satty BR. I don't know if I need some kind of rule for this, maybe not. Suggestions are welcome, as usual! MTT & SNG BR 100,15 (+7,03) SATELLITE BR 80,56 ( - 2,24) TICKET BR 9,60 ( +4,60) TOTAL BR 182,35 (MTT & SNG BR + SATELLITE BR) VIRTUAL BR 191,95 (TOTAL BR + TICKET BR)

@AbvUrPlayGrdFirst of all: thanks for your interest in my blog, thanks for reading a part of it and thanks for your reply. It's this kind of interaction that makes it worth writing. You mention that you were impressed by the first challenge and how quickly I managed to increase my BR, also showing some discipline. To be honest, when I recently checked the first part of my blog again, I was impressed too 😁 All I can think now is, how did I manage this? Probably I played well, but I also must have been on a lucky streak. That's important to realize, cause it's tempting to expect the same great results whenever I start a new challenge, like now. Expectations are enemy number one when it comes to poker, for me and for many players I believe. Expectations mean pressure, pressure means worse decisions at the table, worse decisions mean worse results. Playing like a robot without emotion would be the key, you are right. But while live you can try to act as if taking a bad beat for much money doesn't hurt you, online there isn't this social boundary. It's much easier to allow all of these emotions when playing online. Maybe I should start my sessions with telling myself it's just a game, winning doesn't mean the world and neither does losing means the end of the world, stuff like that. I always think: why should I do that, I already know this stuff so why bother? But it's the same with going to a therapist: they often say stuff you already know, but the fact that someone else says it makes a difference. Repeating this kind of stuff for yourself might work the same way 🙂 Anyway, here are my current bankrolls. I played 5 sessions since I started July 29th, I haven't played the last 4 days cause I was on a music festival. The start wasn't great results wise, but I managed to not chase losses in any way. Keeping discipline means much to me, as you can tell from my blog, so I'm happy with that 😊 MTT & SNG BR 93,12 (- 3,71) SATELLITE BR 82,80 (-10,40) TICKET BR 5,00 ( -1,00) TOTAL BR 175,92 (MTT & SNG BR + SATELLITE BR) VIRTUAL BR 180,92 (TOTAL BR + TICKET BR)

Hey guys, I'm back with a new challenge! Two days ago I started with two separate bankrolls: €100 for MTT's and some SNG's with a €2 max. buy-in. Only exception is the €5 Stratosphere on Saturday cause it feels a bit like a homegame during the Twitch stream of my friend @elron66. The second €100 is for qualifiers only. When my MTT bankroll grows a bit I will put some of that money in the satty bankroll cause otherwise it will go to zero, eventually. I don't have any rules set for this, I will see how I'll do this in a logic way. Maybe I will notice this approach with two bankrolls won't work but it's worth a try. It's a way to keep discipline on the one hand and to be able to play some MTT's with higher buy-ins on the other hand. After two evenings these are my bankrolls: MTT & SNG BR 96,83 SATELLITE BR 93,20 TICKET BR 6,00 TOTAL BR 190,03 (MTT & SNG BR + SATELLITE BR) VIRTUAL BR 196,03 (TOTAL BR + TICKET BR)

That is 100% correct. I take it way too seriously. At the same time I don't have the mental energy to really study the game. So that doesn't make any sense. The thing is that if I don't take it serious at all, I play without proper BRM. That's also not the way to go. So I see it as a challenge with BRM, but then I always end up putting too much pressure on myself. I find it hard to find the balance.

After only 8 days I'm gonna put this challenge on hold. Things went really wrong, again. I'm not gonna play poker for a week and then I will restart with a €100 bankroll. I've been playing way too much lately, so the plan is to bring back the balance. If I had written this before I started seeing a psychologist I would have wrote that I blew it, that I failed. But I learned that this isn't about personal failure. There are reasons that this is an issue for me and mentally I am working really hard to deal with it. And I will keep on working hard to do so.

I've had the same, these first days of the year. I know it all evens out eventually, but the way I ran at important moments was ridiculous. GL on the mental game!

I'm a Hexapro noob myself, but it seems an interesting way to build a bankroll. GL with the challenge and the blog! And GL in the bloggers freeroll, I'll be there too 🤩 Also thanks for sharing the royal flush story, that's so funny. I've done some terrible stuff at the poker tables too, no doubt. Many years ago I was so drunk in a home game that I lost two big Omaha pots in a row, thinking I could use 3 of my 4 hole cards. That wasn't my best poker night 😅
