Looks like the server is down again? Happened the other day to me as well and I clicked a few times and I got through weirdly enough, now I click a few times and the desktop client just closes itself, have re-installed just in case but same issue, only just looked at this thread and see same screen on the first page so guess server is down once again. EDIT, tried again and got through after a few times clicking the green button, weird.

Is there an issue with the 14 day period expiry date as it said 14 days yesterday and I have not cleared anything yet so it’s still sitting at 0,00% but today it still says 14 days… not that I’m complaining lol, think it would be handy if we could pick when to start it rather than when the previous bonus is completed. Otherwise you could play to 99% of the previous bonus and stop playing till it suits for a chance to be able to get the volume in. I guess.

@Stubbe-Unibet thank feck I’m off after tomorrow for the rest of the week then 😁

@Stubbe-Unibet Wouldn't it be a good idea to have an option to manually delete these type of bonuses (with a double confirmation box 😛) as if you can't reach the volume target it kind of keeps your playthrough bonus option blocked for 2 weeks. I have one too, rake 500 get 100 and I wonder on what historical data this is based lol, doubt I have raked €500 many times before within a 2 weeks period but ok. I'm at 130k loyalty points, lets say 150k by the end of the month so 75k per month and now I have to get 50k loyalty points within 2 weeks? 😆 Not asking for it to be cancelled but will see how it goes. I understand this is meant to push people in to playing some more volume but imo this has to stay realistic. Also, is this a new thing or a promo or something? Have I missed some info about this somewhere?

So played some NL50 and yup, managed to lose 3.5 buy ins lol, not that its a big deal but seems like cursed every time I try to move up 🙄 BTN vs BB, massive range advantage for me, over bet turn and river and got tank called... ffs. Nothing special but representation of the session, worst board for JJ lol. Fun players who play any 2 all the time always able to get there...

Thanks @Estzen Just posting one hand here from yesterday, big weird hand: So UTG reg opens 3x and BTN rec calls, so does SB reg and I just complete. Guess a squeeze is an option but QTs plays fine in multiway pots too. And I don't want to get 4b by UTG lol. We see a flop and SB reg donks out 40% very strange but I'll call, so does UTG reg and BTN rec. Turn pairs the board giving me trips and SB reg donks out 1/3 so strange again lol, weird spot where I'm in the middle of the action, can't really fold here can I? so I call, UTG reg calls as well and then BTN rec raises... this is getting a really weird pot/spot 😂 SB folds weirdly enough, not sure what he was donking here, a FD I guess? So now I'm in a pickle, do I fold, call or raise lol. I could be dead for sure, UTG could have Tx, 44 maybe, 88, also a FD and an over pair played passively/sticky. I just called and UTG folded next. With the 2 regs out of the pot I'm a lot happier although the rec can still have me beat. So to the river, not the best card but not the worst I guess, don't think a flush should be a thing here too often, I check and get jammed on... heart FD misses and I don't block any of that. I do block some Qx type of SD hands which he could be bluffing with...

2.5h session later and bankroll now at €1000+ 😋 Start of the session started pretty good, some tilter, not sure if reg or rec, prob a rec started jamming every hand vs me after I had 3b him a few times, not sure what happened before with him but he went into total monkey crazy tilt mode 😅 good to pick up some hands from my side! All hands all in pre: Ended up with 22 buy ins (25NL) spread over 6 tables 😂 /run good More of this please 😎

Guess we can also add feedback about the chat in here, not a fan of the 2 different types of emojis tbh and I don't think I have seen anyone use the standard yellow emoji set so far. I also think it misses some more options like BRB, Bye, Good Game etc. Design wise I think I'd prefer to see just the gifs but with the window extended to the left (white area) so there is no scroll and you see all the available gifs. And just get rid of the standard emojis. That way you can easily click the gif you want straight away without scrolling and taking/wasting more time and missing action on the table. And what does that pile of cash with wings actually mean? 😅 And played 5h last night and still not a fan of the alignment and the action alerts on top of the nickname 😛 Also, doesn't that 'FOLD TO ANY BET' button look a bit weird the way it is now? Wasn't ideal before but can that bullet point not get integrated in to the text somehow? /high demands 😂 Something like this: I'll take the royalties tyvm 😋

Bankroll at around €700 atm, topped at just above €850 but hit some bumps in the road mostly vs whales 🥺 85k hands played, at 121k loyalty points so still on track to reach lvl 6 by end of this year. Working through my last €50 loyalty playthrough bonus and still have 2x €10 to clear of it, after that I need to see to get my last €100 (from a €500 bonus) playthrough re-instated as it was cleared at 99.92% I believe before it expired 🙄. Then after that I'll just keep buying €100's as have 32k BP atm. Losing hands vs whales: All in on the turn vs a very splashy player, he has a hand here but... well... doh! Same player as above, very splashy as said, limped pot, he cbets, I raise, he re-raises, we are deep so decide to call, he overbet jams the turn lol, he can have some nutted hands here but also JJ+ so don't see how we can fold vs such a player. Different whale next, plays 100% hands, raises donks etc with all random stuff, 3b pot and all in on the flop, fecker hit a set of course, and then just extra stab in the back with the 4 card flush on the river 🤣 Same whale, 3b pot again, I bet and he calls, he does sometimes fold but rarely, x the turn and bet the river, snap call lol... I honestly don't know how to play a hand like this vs a w@nker 😂 Same whale again, I open SB calls whale minraises so we all call, I flop more or less the nuts, whale goes bet bet bet with big bets and don't see a point in raising with the Q nut blocker.... AJ...yet again. Also managed to hit quad aces on the river in a hand and flopped quad kings but never when the promo is on! 😭 zero lucky! Anyway, hope it goes a bit better for the rest of the weekend, bankroll steadily growing and only working Monday and Tuesday next week so hopefully enough time to put in some more volume.

6 tabled for an hour and can confirm I still have eye cancer 😝 managed to play with the avatars on for once, can't remember if they made em smaller but looked better. Top up button still the biggest issue, problem is that you click the top up icon / area and then have to move to the right to click the top up amount which makes the top up action lengthier than it should be, it is a bit like the first time the top up button was introduced I think. Still not a fan of the alignment, just doesn't look great and imo it doesn't make the table look bigger / less crowded if that was the intension. Never had an issue with the chat icon and used it a few times, think its great to interact with some recs. My favourite one is the clapping one. I kinda miss the *die of cancer* chat from back in the days 🤣 but an emoticon that could be interpreted as a sarcastic clap will do fine 😂 People will always troll anyway so the 5x limit is good. But not convinced with the placing on the table, think it would be better integrated into the hero box somehow. Don't see why you couldn't place it in the left bottom corner and if people use an avatar they have to click their avatar for it? Or is this hidden too much so they won't find out? Hero boxes look awful cramped for some reason too, spacing with the action alert on the top or something, so still prefer the old style with the action on the bottom. Now it's on top it somehow hampers the readability of the names or something, hard to pinpoint.

I know there is a BB setting but now you are saying we can have the top up button spread over the whole box if we don’t play in BB’s, but I want to keep BB’s displayed lol. Sure you can add another function, maybe not for next week but eventually 😃

I agree that some changes might be ok after you get used to it so I’ll see again how it is after a few days. Always baffles me how many people play with avatars on, such a clutter 😆 BB/currency toggle, so there is an option to have BB on or off at cash tables, maybe change this to toggle on/off? That way once it’s set it’s set for those who like to keep it same all the time.

Must be balancing it well then using a RNG 🤣

I'm going with @Tomi22 and say that this update is terrible, looked decent enough before and now it's like someone drunk made a new table layout for no apparent reason, not for 6max cash tables anyway. First of all the alignment as mentioned, what is that all about, look at the empty space left of my own nickname, very bizarre. Every player having their nick in the middle like before is way more slick than this. Then the top up button is strange as covers half the area of my nickname 'box' more or less and the right hand side covers the BB/actual money value toggle which is bit annoying and also weird. Also preferred the old way of topping up where you can just click the whole box or on your name rather than a smaller slightly undefined area now. Then the chat bubble icon looks almost like the Button and might be confusing as well, maybe not the ideal place for a chat icon dunno. Also Button is now on the left and right next to the chips. On mobile the chat icon sits above our nickname box which makes it even more look like a dealer Button. Shouldn't that be sitting within the nickname box maybe? Would make more sense and they left some space for it too 🤣 EDIT, oh yeh I forgot there are avatars lol, still could be a way of merging both the avatar and the chat bubble 😛 Also weird is how the nickname box expands to add the action info, raise/fold etc and then goes back to previous size after, daft. Normal size Expanded size Old style, pretty neat imo. Apart from the chat icon, I'm not sure what the reason is for all these changes tbh. So yeh, my verdict: 😂

@KrustyTheClownWe didn't play many hands together as I only joined your table late on in my session as I was swapping a reg table for a new one but then had to quit the session, played 1.5h session and that VijfNTwintig was on all of my tables, run pretty good yeh and I lost one hand vs him early on, I 3b AK oop and trippled it off on a A56r-Q-8 board and he had AQo. Ended up playing 150bb-300bb deep vs him on a few tables but didn't have too many major pots. Sometimes you see players like this and you think, feck is this guy a baller or just sunrunning lol. He mostly had the goods imo as I like to check the big pots (also the ones I'm not involved in) and see what they have and how they played it. And here just a hand for fun, nothing to do with me but this was all in preflop: What a flop... c'mon 1 outer!! 🤣

@KrustyTheClown Just noticed you on a table but had to finish up my session, AA was my very last hand lol 😛

@KrustyTheClown If you play with a similar alias as here then yes I've seen you once or twice on the tables but not recently. Have not played any poker since Sunday so won't have been me you were playing against past few days. Do you always play with the same alias? I change mines pretty often like. And good luck on your 50NL shot, I would use a bigger bankroll / more buy-ins when going higher up but from 25NL to 50NL I feel like 20 buy ins is enough, and dropping back down once I'm down to 17 buy ins at 50NL which is 34 buy ins at 25NL which I feel is more than comfortable. If I ever get back to the 50NL > 100NL jump it will be 30 buy ins minimum. Just having a few days off as I slept terrible lately and not playing a few days can also reset my poker mind a bit for once I get back on the tables 😃 Probably playing tomorrow again and if not back on Friday for sure.

@Rushbie cheers, still have enough bonus points to buy another 3 €100 playthroughs so that will be fine especially on NL25. I’ll keep away from the €500 ones 😅 @Estzen yeh NL50 is a while away for now but still on same ‘strategy’, playing NL25 till I reach 1k and then hit NL50 again and drop down to NL25 again if I drop down to €850. Shouldn’t be cursed by a playthrough bonus time limit anymore this time so just focus on my play.

Last months results, 25NL, 8850 hands played, €87 up +3.93 bb/100 50NL, 19111 hands played, €540 down -5.66bb/100 Looking at bb/100 that -5.66 doesn't look too bad 😅 but I'm not thrilled about it. Anyhow, thanks to cashing in the freeroll in the Supermoon Bounty tourney (+€435) I have at least more to play with again after almost destroying the bankroll, and rather keep playing NL25 instead of moving down to NL10 or something 🙄 Still have 2 playthrough bonuses to clear €20 and €50 loyalty bonus and then I'll chase Andy again so I can clear the last 0.08% of my last €100 bonus 🥺 /ouch

I just ended outside the top 20 but also good for +€435 total. I'll be awaiting my free ticket for the next one 😂 Thanks for the freeroll!

Waste of my time as I said before, I just can't master this game at all. Had 1 day left on my last €100 playthrough bonus and had to play 50NL to be able to make it, big mistake... lost 11 buy ins total, won 3 out of 11 all ins pre lol, joke this all. And to make matters worse, I was at 99.92% of my playthrough bonus and it just expired at midnight... this could do with a bit of a proper countdown instead of saying 1 day left... f me. Guess I'll just be a poker donk for ever...

I like that format lol, also nice of putting my name in it twice 😂 first and last raffle 😁

End of the month and nope I haven't made it back to 1k yet, far off it to be honest. Finished last month with a loss of €322 ish. Played 28k hands last month. Managed to get bankroll back to €900 last week and hit some 50NL tables again as my last €100 playthrough runs out in 6 days so want to try and clear it BUT sh!t hit the fan again. Stuck in this can't win a hand realm. I agree that posting bad beats all the time here could or does affect my play but there isn't much else to post lately. Yesterday I lost 1.5 buy ins at 50NL and today almost 5 lol. Never seen so much rubbish in my life. Not sure where the spoilers went so just post em as normal: Hand vs button clicker, I open he min 3bet lol, all in on the river, sure I'll get beat here with other flushes at times but there is still other stuff out there that button clickers go nuts with. Same AKs villain with K7s hand, running like god lol. Another button clicker, I open and he calls, I cb and he calls, then he donks pot on turn and river, hard time folding against this as they do this with TP etc a lot. Same J8s villain as above, calls a 3b then donks out on flop and BTN calls, checks turn and BTN bets 1/2 and villain shoves with Q9s... shows you how he can have anything... I 3b AA, get 4b, decided to call, called off 3 barrels... ffs... I open and get 3b and I call, calls a big cb on flop and I jam over 1/2 cb on turn.... he snap calls and wtf river... Same AK villain as above but now with AQo vs the AKs and K7s villain, limps with 88 and get raised, then re-raises and AQ calls, 88 bets 1/2 on flop and gets called, then open shoves 146bb into a 48bb pot and gets snap called (obviously) by AQ... Open J9s, cb flop and x turn and bet big on river, snap called lol Open ATs, cb flop and get called, overbet the turn and get called, checked back the river saving me some money lol... All in pre... zero lucky 👎 At least one hand I won! Not much I can say really, the more I learn and watch about poker the dumber I get 😂 Back to 25NL anyway as bankroll took too much of a hit... Been watching some stuff on youtube, actually some decent quality stuff out there for free! Here is another channel which is pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/c/NickEastwood The guy himself isn't a crusher or anything, probably more my level type but he has some amazing guests on his channel and they go over hands etc etc different formats to check out, decent content. So the guy is playing 25NL atm I think and in one of the videos where he is going over 50 hands he played, BenaBadBeat (midstake crusher) who is commenting on the hands said it is no wonder he can't win because all the hands are going multiway lol. I had to think of the games on Unibet, same stuff happens all the time on my tables as well, people coldcalling 3b OOP and 3-4way 2bet flops etc etc lol.. Mentioned this one before https://www.youtube.com/c/Weazel1991 and he is still on his bankroll challenge at 10NL, he runs like I am running now, I know exactly how he feels 😛 And another channel https://www.youtube.com/c/HustlerCasinoLive where you can watch streams from high stakes cash games with Tom Dwan, Phil Ivey etc. Just been watching the first 8h stream and it's so funny to see some hands, weird ranges and calls even with straddles etc but what do I know about it, good watch anyhow. Have asked my stats for the month but for the rest not going to post too much, I'll see if I can get my playthrough cleared in time and if I can get back to 1k, who knows. Will take time I guess.

Played 1 hour earlier on and was up 2.5 buy ins at 25NL, just played a 2h session and down 8 buy ins... Open UTG and ofc A high flop, x/x flop and call a small bet on turn, then face this sigh... bye bye QQ CO opens, 25bb stack on BTN calls, I squeeze and CO folds and BTN calls, put him all in on flop and he calls... wtf again... CO opens, I 3bet, reg in BB coldcalls and CO calls as well, crap flop and CO bets, bye bye JJ... BB folded as well prob had AK. CO opens I 3b on BTN, crap flop once again, board gets checked down... great. BTN opens I 3b and he calls, I 1/3 flop and he calls, I 1/3 turn again and he raises 2.5x... ffs I call and call jam on river... feck this again. BTN opens, I 3b and he 4b, flop goes x/x and I bet 1/3 on turn and he calls, no ideal river but jammed it. K3s what 4b crap is this again. Open MP and get 3b and I call, call a 2/3 bet on flop, and I jam over his cb on turn... we are flipping, but yeh of course never get there. BTN opens I 3b he calls, I cb flop he calls, I bet turn he calls, river goes x/x wat an idiot checking back... and again lose a 3b pot. BvB, flop nice, turn meh, of course that river... sigh fold... 3b vs BTN, cb flop turn and river go x/x... split pot typical... Call pre raise flop and get re-raised... call bet on turn and river vs a donk... oh wait I'm the donk... BvB, I open he calls, decide to go for the x/r... get re-raised sigh... So yeh, can't hit any flop and when I do others do it better... lose pretty much every 3b pot in some way... Will be my last post till I hit €1000 again and if I can't make any profit by New Year I'm done with poker, wasting too much of my time for no return... 🤮
