Didn't notice this. Might have joined you, as was playing 3 twitched home games already (all from different sites, one being from Unibet) 😄 Next time, if you have something running during late Saturday evenings drum it up even more. If I am playing those (21:30 EET is our local weekly home game), I might have room for one extra table and since I am lazy I haven't changed my alias for year or so.

No games this weekend. Been hardly reminded a sharp lesson that one should not borrow money to the people (especially to ones who haven't paid their loans in the past). Had a little break-down and after-treatment meant lots of drinks, so better not to play. But on the bright side not going to lose 1) my money, 2) my time and 3) my nerves for this one person ever again (I hope). 14280€ lost (1280€ during last 2 months) and it is far less than time and nerves lost during the years. Being a relative doesn't not entitle one to act like asshole, steal your money and constantly demand loans and listening to ones bullshit. Remember that borrowing money to the people and to relatives especially is hugely -EV business. If someone really needs help and you want and can help him, give it as a gift. Much less drama that way.

Yeah, I love NLO8 hyper bounties. They're my favourite format, quick-paced action game. MTT which has 200+ runners and lasts just bit over a hour. I would love to see Omaha Hi-Lo on Unibet and I've been moaning for its addition ever since Unibet Poker launched in 2014. Probably gotta moan for 8 years more - O8 for 2030?

Pretty much like yesterday, though endruns was even more horrible. But 1,3k$ trophy from NLO8 hyper bounty started day nicely. Probably like +700€ day, but ended up getting 4 mincashes and semibubble from deep runs. Thought about stopping session already after 10 pm (EET), since had two time 0 tables (right after winning that NLO8 and bit after that). Too bad didn't do that, would've been great short day but would've lost lots of EV (soft games all over the place). At Unibet had no chance. Pretty much this kind of preflop flips getting lost all over the place:

Swedish players are often ultra lucky in poker. They're so bad that they gotta be, otherwise their country would be bankrupt. Just look how luckily they got Finland in-between them and Russia! They would've been annexed by Russia 500 years ago if not!

I expect double rake HexaPro Special coming up next.

Midnight Madness Banzai Bounty Configurations Examples Number of Chips 300 Level up time 20 / 3 Bounty YES/NO YES 50/50 Format Freeze or Re-entry (one or multi) or R/A Unlimited Re-entry Player per table 6 or 9 6 Buyin €25 Preferred start time CET 00:05 (Midnight Madness)

Great start, took 1,3k$ trophy from Banzai Bounty (other site), after that no life anywhere though got nice runs into bubbles / mincashes. Finally FT-bubbled 5r Multiverse, pushing 12bb (other table had 4 players with all of them bit smaller stacks mine had big ones) A5o, meeting ATs and 7th place for mincash. +800€ about, but terrible feeling. Strange though that by going other way around (terrible start, great finish with 1,3k$ trophy) feeling would be quite opposite. Planned for full 8+ hour session, but stopped registering after 4 hours except quick ones like Multiverse as started feel bit tired. 6,5 hours total.

-3k from +EV-slots yesterday (January was overall horrible, -6k though +4,5k from sportsbook and +2,5k from poker made it +1k overall). Today +2k from slots. Swingy! Good value games but ultra tough luck last month. No poker, though would like to play. Tomorrow, maybe?

Can we get whole schedule duplicated for a week or two? 🤣

Rake-free home games 🤣

I understand that point, but if you finish outside final table it will take about 2 hours less time. So it won't run 8 hours if you end up being 10th. Just I want to spend my Monday-evening doing something else than 1-tabling for 1-2 hours and end up with a win of 2-3 buy-ins :D

Poker off. EU4 hardcore grind. Like 80 hours played in just a week.

Top 17% formula being a problem again. How much work would it be to really make LB works so that it would award extra points for people cashing instead of top17%? It would be a good addition. Although leaderboard would work best if just giving points to everyone. That would encourage people to participate at each tournament (even if format they don't like) and eliminate huge bubble effect. Although I would be fine with "only cashes get points" it should then be just cashes get points, 17% makes usually double bubble effect and it is very annoying have to count that each time you get near money. Reason why another sites leaderboard which I dominated in the past was super stupid in the past wasn't that it gave points to all positions. It gave points from busted re-entries too. Leaderboard at Unibet got rigged when instead of giving points to all players it was changed to give points to top50% (late reg advantage) and then to top35% (late reg into double bubble effect, first bubble being points bubble). @Leo-Unibet

Dark mode is a must mode to be. Of course best if both available, but having dark mode set as a default is optimal.

Hello! Has there been any thought of making Supernova 1-day event once again? I think it might make some people not playing it, having other stuff to be done during Monday evenings. Bit faster structure and it shouldn't run over 8 hours, making running time around 6 hours or less for those who do not make it into FT.

Sunday was horrible. Max buy-ins and just one minbounty at 5€ one. But got 300€ bonuspoints from leaderboard. Europa Universalis 4 is taking most of my time now. During weekend and yesterday already 49,8 hours played! Go England, we've already eaten France and although two times have been kicked out from continent still holding those provinces as Home Islands are secure and Royal Navy rules the sea, so opponents can't force us to surrender and white peace is announced when they get warweary 🤣

Only kind of love dealer did show today (69 69):

Bad start, had like 12 setups / flips and 0 bounties. Last one brought some, but just busted 9th. Leaderboard looks sour (3rd well behind top2 and it is still updating), as only top3 gets paid well and there's still 2 days left. Gotta try to reach 1st for the Lion's Share! But now I gotta do something fun and gotta get some rest, so I can do at least 1 full good grind day this week using my new schedule (playing these KOs alongside, skipping some early slow MTTs to give them room). Gotta be rested and well prepared for it, as grinding MTTs for 8+ hours is really tough work. Long-term plan is to play such sessions in average just 3 times a week to get enough time for leisure and rest.

Banzai PKO should really have 10bb. Making it 20bb (or 16.66bb, as it says 20bb on title but that on starting stack) utterly changes the format. Those stacks tend to pile up a lot during first long level. I would also make PLO not deepstack. It's action format and re-entries don't work well with pot limit and deep stack. Rather make Community Freezeout on week 4 deepstack. Otherwise I like the idea of having 12 different formats and running times seem okay, though maybe cut a little bit to make them run 2 hours tops. 2,5 hours is decent, though.

Yesterday got just few bounties (horrible runs) and fell first time out from 1st place (to 3rd) at the leaderboard. Moneywise not a big deal although used all extra entries. I also made a new MTT calendar. Running 20-04 (Finnish time), spanning over 4 sites, total buy-ins 1500 and 44 MTTs if played all, out of which 7 are from Unibet (all 5+ R/A's at that timetable except 5€ Sputnik which is too slow for such meek prize pool). Hope to see some new R/A's added or at least not taken away, or it might be I'll remove Unibet from my schedule altogether (let's say if Titan and Neptune were removed, I would just skip Unibet all together at least outside UOS and add games from other sites).

Early games have been generally good (lots of bounties), late games have been horrible (just 2 mincashes). Pretty good spot at LB so playing rest of the tournaments, though it is hard to find motivation for small games when you first lose 400€ for +EV-casinos just before them within 5 minutes 😄 Gotta play some more Europa Universalis 4. But this time hopefully not playing until 11 AM when trying to solve stalemate between England (me) and France, latter holding continent but Royal Navy ruling the seas and not bowing down on demands of some baguettes 🤣

Though to open a feedback thread for Winter Series (or for other discussion, as it is now running for few weeks). Today we had those 10-90 PKOs, few thought about them: - I am all fine for different bounty/regular prizepools, but 10/90 is meaningless imo. Make it either 0/100 or 25/75. 10% regular prize pool just messes things, especially as prize pool like quite regular at first (until overlay is sucked out, when only coins are left). - Format is too slow and 166bb deep starting stack for 10-90 6-max PKO. Should be hyper AND / OR shallow starting stack as only bounties matter. - Horrible experience to play those 10-90 at very tight starting tables. One of those cases where you don't actually want such bad players (at this case playing tight is bad) on your table. Case is similar to satellites late game, you don't want opponents to play bad against you and call you light with bad hands as it destroys your EV but worse since this makes first hour meaningless. Summa summarum: Banzai Bounties would have been quintillion times better format 😄 Generally series has been quite good, with semiturbo structures. For bounties I would prefer more shallow stacks than for regular MTTs. I also like leaderboard format: it allows me to play like a drunken tilt maniac whale and still go for profit. Generally guaranteeds have been very meek, but I guess it isn't so major issue on such low-stake series. I also like thematic weeks with separate leaderboards (week is long time to grind, but doable). Nice to see some action between UOS serieses.

Didn't even win any money yesterday. Wouldn't like to play each day, but maybe I have to

Tilting, so going for madman style
