Thanks Jami, will wait to hear!

Hey guys hope you're all well, just looking to get back into some poker. Been a long time, hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year. 

Poker Team / or Unibet Community staff, can you let me know something....

I'm from UK and live in the UK, but I'm on a working holiday in Albania currently, going to be here for another 20 or so days, then going back to uk for 3 weeks, then coming back to Albania for 2 months. 

i know there are all sorts of geographic restrictions on where you can play from so I just wanted to know, given above, can I play from Albania? or is that against any terms?

Thanks!

I like this. For me looking at a table first gives more confidence, wish I could watch big the cashgames haha . Any fish? 

Yes there are fish for sure! 

Today unfortunately I was on of them. Moved up to 400nl after losing a stack at 200nl. 

Lost a stack at 400nl. Going to take a time out, that type of behaviour is not the way to play winning poker. So going to withdraw the 350 euros left, and consider next steps 🙂

But to answer your question, yes I saw a fish yesterday 1 tabling, there are fish for sure at 200nl 🙂 

Played for a  couple of hours, no huge pots, but  won a couple of pots on the turn 👏

I have to agree with the guys above. @Stubbe-Unibet and @Recorph promised a lot with starting the new community, but instead of introduction of the new staff, Recorph just disappeared???!!! WTF is going on here? Nothing special happened?

Guys, seriously everybody is blind, or WHAT THE ACTUAL F U C K???

That @SkilfulPoker guy has disappeared also and nobody blinked one, despite he was threated like a VIP, got an own freeroll and so on.

It's smelly, and I want answears, please!

wow, you sound like a very sad person (i mean upset sad, not particularly wanting to insult you...)

I hope you find some happiness 🙂

Hey guys, how's it going. Hope you're all well. Pretty cool things are starting to open back up over here in the UK, coffee shops, bars and casinos! 

I want to  play some live poker in the future, but it's been a while since I played and I can't even remember my standard opening ranges. 

So... I've decided to try to play some good poker at 200nl while also learning some ranges. As I haven't played much 200nl before, I'm just  going to one table it. 

Starting Bankroll   €756   (I just  deposited £650) because if I was playing live and one tabling I'd usually turn up with about 3 and a half stacks. 

So let's see how this goes.

I also just invested in primed mind (some mindset coaching from Elliot Roe which is an App in android/ios app store), and just listened to the cash game hypnosys, so here goes!

Will update after this session to let you know how it went. Then fairly regularly going forwards. 

Hey @FunckyFish good luck in the qualifiers mate, great way to get entry, hope you bink a ticket!

Hey @GR1ZZL3R nice one, gl for Friday, will be awesome for you to get a deep run in it, i'll keep an eye out in your blog for updates :)

Hey @FreedoM thanks for kind words of caution, and for linking to Magicadil, I hadn't seen Magicadil's post and it's really sad to read about what happened, but also really promising and hopeful that Magicadil was able to take steps to move his life forward from that, much respect to him. His story and honesty is a sure reminder to us all to go into placing any bets or wagers on sports or poker with our eyes open, and to always be self aware totally! Also just to mention on that, Jeppe's response is typical of Unibet, this site is so caring, and for players, it also has the best responsible gaming features i've seen on any site.

My blog here is not the one to read if you want good advice or role models about bankroll managament that's for sure! :Haha:

But I am self aware guys, and I appreciate your words of caution. Truth of the matter is I am as financially secure and well off as I have ever been in my life. I don't say that to brag! I say it just to reassure you guys that everything is on track here with poker. The reason i'm doing so well financially is two huge reasons: 

1) I stopped drinking alcohol. When drinking alcohol I wasted any money i got from working. Since stopping drinking i've been able to make more thoughtful decisions and use money as an economic tool, which is now how i see it. 

2) My huge beting victory earlier in this blog. Since i won that bet, despite betting once since then (here and somewhere else once and not losing any money), I haven't placed any more bets. Reason for that is i want to enjoy my winnings and 'win' from them. I can only do that because i'm self aware which is why i took a break from any sports products i got access to.

The 1100 euros i bought into UOS XI with was money i had set aside to play poker with. My last deposit was 800 euros onto unibet about a week ago and i'd essentially written it off as soon as I'd deposited it, because playing 200nl knew there was a high risk of ruin! But it just so happens over the span of a week I ended up profiting to the tune of 300 euros :) so thought why not go ahead and play this awesome event. 

It will be almost the largest event i've played. i played a live event which was £1000 buy in once, which i won entry to in a £200 satelite :) and i got knocked out of that set over set, with second top set on the turn, and was pleased with my play! 

Rest assured though guys I'm playing this event because i love the Unibet vibe, and I want to play in a big tournament, i'm not playing it out of desperation to win money, i'll be sad if I don't cash xD but hey if i don't i'm still by the beach for another few weeks, and doing as best in my life as i ever have, so we are safe here guys! And any money i play with on Unibet I will continue to play with, with my eyes open! 

Cheers all good luck in your Unibet journeys this week!

What up people, dropped a few stacks at 400nl today, which was always genna happen at some point

Just registeted for UOS XI ! Looking forward to this :)

Might play the hundred rebuy also on same day depending on how i'm feeling. Will be flying the community flag in the ME anyone else going in for it? ✌️

Writing this from a hotel life is going well, it's amazing what you can achieve with some quality of mind and dedication, now just need to bink the main event  

Gl at the tables!

Thats a good idea nightshopper. I don't think i'm ever going to be a "poker grinder", like someone that plays 8 plus hours a day online to make a living from poker. 

I really love the game, but when playing for long periods of time over a number of days, I find it loses its appeal a bit and also becomes a bit of a grind. I haven't done that in years, and never at mid stakes, but I think this self awareness is important

I'm up like €1100 just from playing cash poker past 8 days online, so even though its not very good bankroll managenent, I'm pretty sure i'm going to play UOS XI main event and the €100 rebuy next weekend, I think it should be an exciting and enjoyable experience, also great motivator to improve my mtt game over the next week or so. 

I just got to decide how to practice now and what games to mix in , in sessions before. I'm looking forward to getting into the atmosphere of UOS in the community also, see if any members are playing any events going forward or how they have been getting on in any they entered, also watching some training.

Have a great Sunday ✌️

Thanks for comments guys, so its Saturday! Despite what I said in my last post, I ended up playing 400nl tonight :happyshy:

All my sessions last week were 200nl, and I didnt really fancy playing tonight but wanted to as it's saturday and it seems v bad to call yourself a poker player and not play Friday/Saturday night if you can

400nl definitely held my focus! 

Here's a hand I captured what do you think of it guys?

I have yet another plan for my poker I think im going to stick to. PLAY UOS XI ! My poker plans seems to change as often as the wind changes direction, so might as well play some great games in the process Not sure if im going to try to satalite in, or try to win some from cash games, or maybe buy in direct as done well this week and am up about the entry!

Anyone else planning to play it or satelite in? How are you guys finding UOS generally? I havent played any events! 

I do still have 25 euro ticket to play from the blog mtt also :) 

Im going away tomorrow for a bit so will have nice calm environment during main event and can also do some mtt study before, so seems like perfect recreation and who knows might get lucky ? Reminds me of this

Hopefully it can be one of us

Nice going sounds like things are going nicely for you at the moment, low volume aside :)

I found you mentioning the variable frequencies of doing certain actions interesting when you was speaking about the YT player you've been watching. Because, I was looking at this lately, and I kind of decided because unibet tables can be anonymous every day if you want, with changing avatar, on unibet that isn't needed. Was curious to hear what your thoughts were on that?

Nice one for playing tonight by the way, I know what it can be like trying to get volume in when doing other things, but it's criminal not to play Friday/Saturday night isn't it

Hey guys, poker has been going pretty well, I played about 5 sessions at 200nl since last post, just 1 tabling. I prefer to one table and focus on the action than playing more than one table. 😃

I just had 1 losing session which is nice, and am up about 4 stacks. Here's latest bankroll:

I been thinking a bit lately what I want to do with poker,  and I think I might start a challenge to practice learning a bit but without playing 200nl online regular, maybe I'll do a challenge taking 5 buyin shots up, and 10 buyin move down starting at 4nl, to give me something fun to try.

Reason I say that is because when I inevitably start losing some stacks at 200nl I think it will be really annoying to me even though its totally part of the process of playing winning poker. 

I would rather play in a live casino, at least can travel then and see some fun sights instead of your wall and computer but because of covid can't at the moment

Hope you all have a great weekend:)

@SkilfulPoker  Thanks man! I'm hyped, I'm excited, I'm ready :happy: At the same time, in my head I'm already busted. It's a mental exercise that I do to protect myself from being too disappointed of course. Which doesn't mean I won't be disappointed if I bust, but if I get my hopes up too high it gets too painful 😃 Of course it will also depend on the way I bust. I hope it won't be in a way that I get mad at myself for making a stupid mistake, that would be worse than a bad beat. Anyway, it's also just another tournament and I will play my game!

Love this! This is exactly the approach BenCB recommended for the mental game in one of his YouTube videos I watched. Go into each tournament expecting to bust but playing your best! This is very wise as then you aren't disappointed if bust and nice surprise if have deep run! It has a great stoicism idea in it too, of expecting the worst to never be disappointed

🤣

At least you made some players happy  

Good luck for week ahead!

Great cashing out again on Tuesday! You seem to have a good knack for profit 🆒 :peace:

Great win

Hey good idea to take a break like you did when not feeling motivated! Hope you do good in your next sessions :)

Good luck in the £250 uk tour today mate!

Lol that 52 vs AK hand, sometimes I think these hands a test from the universe at our mental strength

Ak < TT twice ;/ unlucky mate

Ten stacks profit, that's awesome! Well done, have a good weekend :)

lol hi everyone so thought I'd get some goals down for the future and update a bit with where things are at. 

Life things are going really well. Haven't drank alcohol for over 4 months now and that's a huge journey, learning how to find true contentment in life etc. but moving along nicely :) since winning the last bet i celebrated with you guys, i lost a few bets and also won another good bet so overall profited even more. What I'm even more pleased with is that I had the presence of mind and self awareness to realise these big wins don't come along often in life and I need to make the most of them. So the other day I took time outs on any betting sites i got access to (and took a time out from sports book on Unibet) to avoid the tempation of placing any more bets. When you win a lot it can be tempting to bet again, but that will always end in giving it back unless you know when to stop, so very pleased with my actions there!

I treated myself to a new laptop which is great as i can work while travelling now, and I'm planning to get away for a bit soon. When I played in our tournament here in the thread i played from a hotel, as i took a couple of days away to chill :) but am back home now. 

So here are my goals for poker and this blog in the next month:

• Play 200nl (yes 200nl!) i think I'm up in the 2 sessions I played but not too sure, played a couple of sessions when away, but anyway going to have a decent go of playing 200nl for a month and see how that goes. Going to deposit like 4 stacks, and if they run out deposit some more. 
• Mix in some Hexapro's if a decent jackpot looks imminent.
• Improve my game technically each week.
• Work on the never ending life work of mastering emotions at the table.
• Play any tickets I get. 

Cheers have a good weekend all!

Hey thanks a lot @Andy-Unibet 

Great work! I think its really good you're tracking your deep finishes must be inspiring to know you have played so well over a sustained period :)

Interesting you havent had any discipline issues lately, and really good to read  

Just wondering if you think there's a reason for that? Do you feel any different when you are playing? Have you changed anything about your sessions / or approach etc? 

Nice results! Have a good weekend
