  1. 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.🙏
  2. 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.
  3. Thanks! @Andy-UnibetWill there be any communication about what caused this? I mean, mistakes will always be made, but it's not so nice to be accused of violating rules when you have been playing on a site for many years. Again, I can understand that errors are made. It's just that when you have been accused unjustified, it would be nice to find out what caused this. Thanks in advance.
  4. I have the same issue. Just as you I am not aware of breaking any rules, I didn't do anything else than I've always done. I don't use any HUD or other software. Yesterday I contacted support, they made me say that I agree with all the T&C and they were gonna investigate what happened. My account hasn't been opened again yet, but I really hope this is gonna be ok soon. I agree that giving a warning to someone who hasn't done anything wrong isn't fair at all 😠
  5. 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?
  6. 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 🙂
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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 😄
  10. 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)
  11. @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)
  12. 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)
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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!
  16. 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 😅
  17. The MTT results haven't been good the last three days, but I should say that I only played seven regular MTT's in those three days. I've been feeling tired in the evenings, which made me don't wanna play very long sessions. So instead of adding more MTT's after busting the first ones, I played some qualifiers and SNG's. Yesterday I bubbled the superqualifier for the €50 Mercury Blue Bounty: that one hurted, cause I've had some good results in the MBB. But I did bink a €50 Supermoon ticket, which gives me a chance to qualify for the big one. The cash bankroll is going down so far and I'm not gonna lie, it didn't feel good. Certainly cause I had the feeling of getting very unlucky in important spots. So yes, I felt frustrated and angry. But... I'm proud to say I didn't start playing some higher buy-in heads up or SNG games, to win back my losses. Also I'm proud about my game selection and the decision not to play for too long. At the end I one tabled the final table of the €0,5 Sputnik Omaha Nano, which ended in me making the most terrible call ever to bubble that one. I wouldn't have made that call if I wasn't so tired, so that's a shame. Anyway, let's remember the good stuff: no bankroll blow-ups and no long sessions when feeling tired!

  18. My first day of the 2022 challenge wasn't great when it comes to results, but at least my mindset was good. In one of the Singularities I can only blame myself for busting. UTG and UTG+1 limped, I raised to 6BB in the SB with QQ. They both call my preflop raise. The flop comes K52 with two diamonds and the UTG player shoves for another 32BB with just 20BB in the pot. I can't really put them on a hand that plays it like that, except for a flush draw. They can have 55 or 22 but I don't think they would donk shove, I also don't see them shoving a Kx hand. I had 31BB left so even if I folded I'd have more than enough chips. I couldn't make the fold and they showed K9o 😒 Very weird play, but then again it's a 2€ buy-in MTT on Unibet. In general I think it's better to fold in this kind of situations cause even if it is a mistake, you still have enough chips to make something happen. Any thoughts on this hand? I played 11 MTT's with buy-ins between €1 and €5, 2 €1 SNG's and 1 qualifier. My last game of the night was my best one with a 4th place + 1 bounty in a €5 Shooting Star Bounty. I think I'll play again this evening but I won't be playing too late since tomorrow I get back to work after being 11 days at home. One day down, 364 to go!

  19. Yep, my inbox was full. I emptied it, so it should be solved 😃
  20. Hmmm, I have no idea. Should I change something in settings?
  21. Hi guys! Half a year ago I disappeared quite abruptly from this forum and from my own blog. You can imagine that's not because my poker went great 😏 Since then I restarted a few times, but the discipline issue kept coming back. So here I am again, ready for a new year and a fresh start. January 1st I start with a €500 bankroll. I will play MTT's with a buy in up to €5, unless I bink a ticket for the higher buy ins. MTT's I will often play are the €1 and €2 Singularities, the €2 Asteroid, the €5 Shooting Star Bounty, the €1 Space Madness Bounty, the €2 Galaxy Omaha and on Saturdays the €5 Stratosphere and the €1 MotherShip Main Event. I will also play some satties and SNG's. And of course I will do my best NOT to play higher buy in events, which I tend to do when I try to chase my losses. Those who followed my blog know that this is the biggest challenge for me. My mental game is my biggest leak, so I'll definitely write about that again. As I wrote before the stress level at home is often very high, since we have two children with autism. It's tough not to bring the stress to the poker tables, but all I can do is try. See you guys in a few days!

  23. So, here we are again! After my mental breakdown I haven't played poker for a week and then I started playing a bit for fun, without BRM or any rules. Thursday I started my new challenge with €500 BR. I'm not calling it a BR challenge though, this one is about discipline more than ever. I've been going to a therapist for more than a year now and yesterday I had a great session, which put me in a great mindset. The therapy she's applying to me is ACT: acceptance and commitment therapy. Originally I started seeing her for my issues with binge eating, but I try to use it for life in general and it can also be applied for the mental game of poker. Or in padel, the raquet sport I'm playing: yesterday my team mate and I were down 1-5 in the first set. My mindset was great: I didn't care about the result, all I wanted to do was play the next point in the best possible way. We actually won six games in a row and won the set with 7-5. But even if we hadn't won it, I would have felt great cause my mindset was great. The goal is to approach poker in the same way. What has changed for me? Certainly the last years I've put way too much pressure on my game, cause I was focussed on climbing up in stakes in a way I could make money with the game. This won't be a goal anymore, since it just gives me pressure and makes me do stupid stuff. I've told you guys about my compulsive behaviour: playing high HU's and SNG's to win back money fast. Another thing I sometimes did was play +€25 MTT's with money from my bank account. When I lost the money, I was like: I could have gone to the pub and lost the money either way. When I won some money I booked it as a win in my excell file. Way to fool yourself, I know. I'm not saying I won't make these mistakes ever again, all I'm saying is I will try. I hope I can keep this healthy mindset and if I will, I think it's possible not to fall into the same trap again. So don't wish me luck at the tables, wish me luck in my head 😃
