Bit late to be asking, as I'm on the bubble right now, but is there a bubble buster freeroll is this UOS (XII)?

@Leo-Unibet @Stubbe-Unibet

@Stubbe-Unibet can you remove the antes for the remaining two PLO tournaments this week? I presume they were there in error and it just makes the structure a bit wrong. cheers.

Will the new graphics be tested in Omaha too? Currently, in the hand replayer the winner's chips always obscure their left-most card which is a pain in the neck

This tournament had only this one hand played at this table.

In which case I think the "nearest dealer button" rule prevails? @Stubbe-Unibet ?

Well, I don't know for sure what happened, but I'm guessing it is the following:

If more than one person busts in a hand, the order of payment in a tournament for the busted players is NOT how good their hands were, but how many chips they started the hand with, in other words it could go something like this:

Player A - 10k chips (wins with straight flush)

Player B 9k chips (Ace high)

Player c 8k chips (quads)

Player d 7k chips (full house)

If they all went in, player A wins the pot and therefore everyone else busts, but Player B cashes AHEAD of players C and D by virtue of starting the hand with more chips.

It may be a funky rule, but it's applied universally in tournaments around the world.

The leaderboards are still on the website.

Go to unibet>poker>poker promotions>UOS online series XI

then you'll see the leaderboards lower down the page

I always thought that the reason that Omaha tournaments were "demoted" to the later slot was because the number of runners were lower. But it seems that the numbers for the later NLHE tournaments are about the same.

Can we have just one Omaha tournament with a decent structure, one that isn't a shovefest around the bubble? While hold em players enjoy 12m, even 15m blinds, we have 6m, in a poker variant which needs to be deeper to play properly.

Start at the earlier time, 10k chips, 10 min blinds. Or else 10 mins blinds but with rebuy or re-enter structure. It really isn't too much to ask to have ONE tournament out of a series of 145 that is a decent Omaha structure.

I tell you what, I won't be sad to see the back of some of these major challenges. 

I've played 3000 hands on my current major challenge and only 6/10 of the way through. They're supposed to take 1000 hands:scared:

I know I can skip it, but it's a bit late for that now!

Interestingly,ratholing confers no specific advantage to the ratholer and no disadvantage to the other players at the table. In other words, there is no decent reason why ratholing should be considered unethical.

 Actually ratholing does confer an advantage to the ratholer. If we consider that there are two general ways of making a profit in poker 1) having value and betting it, 2) having a worse hand but bluffing it - the second of these is massively reduced when the opponent is short stacked. In fact, it's relatively straightforward to devise a strategy of "fold most things, but when you have enough equity, commit" which works for a short stack but for which there is too much jeopardy when deep stacked. Rolf Slotboom wrote an entire book on it for Omaha! It's basically an implied odds/reverse implied odds issue.

So it's not just an ethical dimension, it's actually bad for the game to let shortstackers (consistently) get away with it. For sure, sites allow short stacks so that less-rolled players can take a shot, or play more comfortably at higher stakes at least. Taking steps to mitigate ratholing is a way to reduce money going out of the player pool to what is essentially a cookie-cutter way of making money for some types of player.

I did it AGAIN 

FFFFFFFFFFFFFSSSSSSS

im not asking for another ticket swap I guess this is god's way of telling me not to bother keeping my normal Mtt tickets. But please tell me something will be done. If I can do this twice knowing what the problem is this is obviously something that needs to be fixed

wow - that came and went quickly. There was no lobby for that when I checked. 

gonna expire in 18h but can't reg until 1st March

anyone know what's going on?

Hi @Andy-Unibet 

First of all, thanks for exchanging the ticket again.

Second, having received the generic ticket, I tested what was happening again. When I clicked through to the lobby from (e.g.) a list of 10e UO tickets, and then attempt to register, the pop up window is standard, but above the "register" button is a drop down (it's a down arrow icon, not presented in green and not presented as a button) from which you can chose which of your tickets you wish to use to register. The generic ticket is seemingly defaulted to the top of the list, above the UO tickets, hence my (repeated) mistake.

So either the "ticket" label on the button needs to explicitly say which ticket you're using before you press it, or the UI should only offer you tickets of the kind you clicked through from - it shouldn't offer you the choice and therefore the opportunity to mix them up.

cheers.

@Stubbe-Unibet 

Wise decision. This thread was beginning to become a waste of my life, but like most car crashes, it's difficult to drive past without rubber-necking.

It was an interesting exercise in human psychology, I guess. What's interesting is how the "rigged" posts have evolved over the years. I've probably been reading rants like these for over fifteen years on various forums - Hendon Mob, 2+2, you name it, but back in the day when bots didn't exist, it wasn't bots that were to blame. RNGs did exist then of course, but oddly enough people didn't blame manipulation of the RNGs for their bad beats. I guess there's always something to blame.

Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose . . .

@Andy-Unibet 

Hi Andy just bumping this as I didn't get a reply to my latest post. Many thanks. 

Thanks

If I have an MTT ticket which expires in 10 days, can I register now for a tournament beyond 10 days time and it still be valid?

In other words, does the expiry date apply for when you use it to register for a tournament, or for when the tournament actually starts?

Ditto - this is happening to me as well.

I'm guessing lack of auto-rebuy is a policy decision? It would certainly be welcomed by me.

Welcome @Mr__D 

I think the primary place is here, but there are also a few Twitch channels - Unibet's own, Ian Simpson's Twitch which runs on certain nights of the week. Plus a few other forum members do too. 

There's a blog section to the community, and also Community Leagues run periodically - check out the forum post for that.

Outside of the Pandemic, there is of course the live poker meets - for those lucky enough to get to the Unibet Open, there's a fair amount of socialising then 🤣 and there are also various national live circuit events - depends where you live.

@Andy-Unibet 

I'm really sorry Andy, but I've done it again.

HOWEVER there is something to report this time. Obviously having thought I screwed it up the first time, I made sure this time that I pressed the right button. So from my tickets, I press the UO 10e ticket, go to the list of tournaments available, press on lobby, register using the ticket option - and somehow (can't say if I had options for UO ticket AND generic MTT ticket, but I doubt it), it's used my generic ticket rather than my UO ticket.

So this is obviously a problem - there needs to be some kind of default here where the box "remembers" where you clicked through from and uses the "correct" ticket - i.e. the one you were originally searching under. 

So please can you swap one of my UO tickets again for a 10e generic ticket but also flag this up as an issue. 

Many thanks.

Thank you. Excellent, speedy, no-fuss response as always.

@Andy-Unibet 

Hi Andy,

I've just now entered a 10e UO satellite and just noticed that I've accidentally entered it using my only generic 10e MTT ticket (which I'd like to save for the UOS), not one of my 5 UO tickets. You can see that this is a genuine mistake as I've got plenty of specific UO tickets, just clicked the wrong box in the lobby obviously.

Please would you mind swapping one of my UO tickets back to a generic ticket.

Many thanks.

Forgot to say - Only PLO is required. Thanks.

Can I have my cash game results for the whole of 2019, separated by stake please.

well, I don't know - all I know is, I knew where it was on the old system and I can't find it now. I'm guessing it was with the update, because now there's no longer a tab on the history page where you can select for challenges. 

Any sneak peek of what's in stall for the new loyalty system? I'm guessing challenges won't be involved then!
