@SambaThanks for the GL's! The plan has always been to move down again at around €850 as shot taking 50NL with 20 buy ins and move down if/when dropping 3. I have played a few 25NL sessions before after some run bad just to get the mindset back or the confidence so we just keep doing it till I break through 50NL permanently 😆 Watched this guys Weazel_1991 video on Youtube last night, I have watched a few of his vids before, he is a pro and plays 200NL as his main game I think and streams everything on Twitch (which I don't watch) but he puts up the highlights on Youtube for those interested. But he recently started a bankroll challenge to go from $500 to $25k starting at the micros at 10NL. He has done 3 sessions so far and he is failing to make any profit, the run bad is just amazing to watch lol and glad it's not just happening to me 🤣 Worth a check for those interested, the bad beats are funny 😛 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYqzQDNL9msf7Iw9m45Q3xpCr333ZhtZl I think it shows how different the games are from higher stakes to the lowest as there are some total different game dynamics in between these games. Same of what I've posted here as well many times like 3b pots that go multiway and random stuff like that lol. Just opened the client and there are 4x more players at 50NL than at 25NL lol... great start 😅

Just reached loyalty lvl 5, received my UO ticket freeroll that I can't use for anything seemingly as nothing shows up lol. At 25% for my €100 playthrough bonus and 14 days left on it. For the rest its all going downhill, can't seem to make any ground at 50NL which is pretty absurd. Bankroll down to €850 as I've just lost about 4 buyins in the last 2h session. This is about the cut off to go back to 25NL so I think I will just play at 25NL anyway as I've done a few times before with decent results every time so I don't get it how 50NL is just like a brick in the water, can't stay afloat lol. It's very frustrating and it makes tilt creep back in to my game. Not today but I've had a 'burst of tilt' before out of frustration. Doesn't last my whole session or that and I manage to stay calm again pretty quick but that doesn't mean I can't lose a stack because of it. One of the moments is the next 2 hands: Both hands played vs one of the nittier regs of the pool although I think person in question plays 100NL and maybe higher at times not sure. Def 100NL as used to play vs him before there as well. This hand he opens in CO and I 3b on BTN and he calls. I cb 1/4 and he calls, solver prefers 40% cb size but I went smaller as I have AA-QQ in range which he would 4b pre. Turn I went pot for same reason and to put pairs 66-JJ in a difficult spot. Here is where solver has a pure check with every KQs, even the heart one. Anyhow, its check or big bet with range and he calls, river I jammed for same reason as turn and to fold out Ax that maybe floated like AK or some Ax of hearts. He snap called me with AJs which just set my tilt on fire lol, wouldn't even beat my AK/AQ bluffs so wtf really. Pissed me right off 😂 Very next hand although different table I 3b him BvB and he 4b me. I jammed because of tilt and of course he has to have AA whilst I even block it. Can't make this sh!t up, A4o is always a fold either way and you could jam A5/A4 suited in theory but reality people rarely jam much worse. Yes you have some equity vs KK-JJ or whatever but think it's thin on this site/stake. Some hands of today next, very strange spots being deep. 150bb deep, MP opens, I 3b to 9bb and he 4b to 24bb, I call which is a standard call with AK I guess. Don't think we jam anything being this deep and call all hands vs 4b. Dry flop and as good as it gets for AK and face a 1/4 cb and I call, then face a 1/2 cb on the turn and call again, then face a jam and don't see how we can fold here with AK. I don't think he has any bluffs in range and value range is pretty small as well, AA and KK beats me but I block those hands and we chop with AK. Getting 4 to 1 on the river. Solver doesn't fold either which isn't a surprise lol. 140bb deep, BTN opens, I 3b to 12bb being deeper, he 4b to 27bb which is maybe a bit bigger than I would but ok, again don't see any other play than call here with QQ being deep. Excellent flop for queens and he bet 1/3 and I call, he bets 1/3 again on turn and I have 96bb behind and pot is 120bb. I decided to jam here, we are dead vs AA/KK/JJ but I deny equity vs some drawing hands or hands like AK/KQ or random other crap. Not to be... Not exactly sure about the play in this hand, solver jams pre as it can only do 100bb deep. Maybe a x/c turn and river was a better play keeping his bluffs in and hope river isn't a A or a K. And then this hand, quit the session after this and I had just reached lvl 5 loyalty anyway which was the goal of this session, but I open QJs and SB calls, I bet big on flop and on turn and then face a pot size donk on the river. Decided to jam as he only had 30bb behind but maybe that was a bit thin lol, but looking at his hand it's like what da f#ck does he call 2 big bets on flop and river with that for... which is good but obviously he got there. This sh!t happens a bit too much as well tbh... Lost 2 out of 2 all ins today AK vs JJ and KK vs AA. I'm always on the wrong side of 'varience'. And then to know I had so many AA this session, and I mean really a lot of AA 😛 and never any action with it, pretty sad 😭 Played about 19k hands this month so far... been brutal and honestly starting to doubt my skill level. Off work next week so see what damage we can do 🙄

Bankroll still going meh, have cleared the €100 playthrough bonus and now have the last one of the €500 to clear and 19 days left on it. Think I clear about 4% per hour 4 tabling 50NL so that's 25h to clear €100. Should be easy enough. After that I have a €20 to clear and still have enough Bonus Points to buy another 2 €100 playthrough bonuses so I can keep these bonuses ticking over. Not too much to report for the rest, 10k XP to go for lvl 5. Just need to play a bit better or run better 😅 Still a few hands to go through, here a few multiway 3 bet pots, always fun when you hit f all 😛 And a few bad plays or sizing of regs And a weird hand to end the post; MP limps, BTN raises 4x, I call and so does BB and MP so 4 way to the flop and pot is 16bb. Flop x through and I donk out 1/3 on this turn, people can still have Kx but with my flush I can as well start building a pot in case I hit and possibly a 9 or T is good as well and weirdly enough everyone calls lol. Then the river x through and I win the pot 🤣 /random hand

Haven't had too much time for posting, had 2 days of not playing poker this week and for the rest been trying to watch some RIO Elite videos as my subscription runs out on Wednesday and I'm back to Essential after that but will definitely buy Elite again but not every month. Small progress last few days bankroll wise and 85% on the €100 playthrough bonus. Few more hands, screenshotted so many hands but doubt I'll be posting them all lol.

Halfway to loyalty lvl5. Still about break even 😂 Think I need more turn aggression and less river calls 😬 They mostly have it! All in pre, always a sweat! AK 60% vs 40% K8s I was waiting for it but we held up! Thank feck! Too many hands to go through atm and not enough time lol 75% on the €100 playthrough bonus, hope I get some profit for this month 😅

Yeh me too!

Just a few hands, two visible and rest in the spoiler. Bit of a funny hand, towards end of a session I believe, UTG opens 3x and normally I 3b as standard but too many recs behind so just made a call. Pretty bad call especially with AKo lol but w/e. Pot goes 4 way and gets checked down to the river, and I win lol. /random hand😅 Next few hands in the spoiler are all AA hands... the crap ones 😭 😛 Let's finish with a hand we won with AA for once! MP limps, CO raises, BTN 3b, obvious 4b for me. Limper calls, leaving 9bb behind lol, BTN jams, easy call, MP calls rest of his stack. And we hold. If only all AA hands were like this!

I’m all but a perfect poker reg though. My strategy is based on GTO I guess from what I learn from watching videos and trying to grasp the major tendencies like cbet sizes on certain flops etc. Linking this knowledge to Unibet and the stake I play is another matter. So many multi-way pots, cold callers etc make it sometimes a weird game lol. It does sometimes feel like playing NL5 even at NL50 which is a good thing as the games aren’t full of GTO bots 😂 And I’m not going to stop posting hands but will just hide them in a spoiler so it is easier to scroll through lots of posts on the same page.

2 hour session played today, ended up minus €1 😅 lost 3 all ins pre 🙄 haven't had too many all ins pre overall but the last one I won was on Tuesday 😬 had JJ vs A9o and he flopped 99x lol, then AK vs QQ and AQs vs QQ (regi shortstacker) . Still managed to keep it break even /skills 😄 I see if I can post hands in a spoiler so it is easier to scroll through the blog here, and I'll just post some funny hands or whatever outside the spoiler.

Time for another post, still at 50NL so far but: Not much happening I can tell you that lol, feels like I've been playing a lot with pretty much no results but actually looking at hands played and it's not been that many. Played about 7k hands this month if I'm right so pretty small sample but still waiting to break free and get my giraffe going again lol. I have had my playthrough bonus re-installed again, so lots of thanks to Unibet / @Andy-Unibet for allowing me to catch up (once again and the last time now) on that without losing it, so far I'm half way through the 4th €100 instalment out of 5 for the total of €500 and 29 days left, should be easy enough if we can stay at 50NL 🤔 I have the last week of this month off so should be good for some more volume then too. Loyalty points, I'm 1000xp away of getting the first lvl4 reward, €20 loyalty bonus and have a total of 22k loyalty points. At this rate I should be able to reach lvl 6 at the end of this quarter to keep the bonus point multiplier into next quarter. 23,300 bonus points at the moment so once I clear the current playthrough bonuses I'll just 'buy' €100 playthrough bonuses to keep it easy enough to clear without letting them expire lol. The value difference between 1x €500 playthrough vs 5x €100 playthrough is €7,5 so pretty much neglectable. Will post some hands later on if I have time, I'm away out for tea (dinner) later on and off to see the Bond movie as well tonight. And is it just me or is scrolling through my 'blog' a bit annoying with all the hands I post as it makes these pages really long? I find it annoying scrolling through my own blog tbh 😂 Also another question, I've seen this avatar once before somewhere in a forum post but he sat at one of my tables last night, is this someone 'famous' or just someone who reached the private avatar option with the previous reward system (or something like that). As I live in Scotland it's quite funny to see lol. Also he plays like a nit 🤣 just kidding 😛

FFS, that last hand is one I wanted to post later as had no time left lol, but this dumb system here on the forum with pics made it post anyway lol, didn't notice. All in all it could be going worse as I'm about breakeven, better than losing I guess! 😛

*quite a big difference (spelling police previous post lol) Few more hands from past few days, 1st hand, not involved but I play a hand vs BTN in the next pic, here he limp calls pre, flop goes x/x and the jams over a bet on the turn with K high lol Few hands later I open and he minraises, no point in me re-raising OOP so lets see a flop, flop goes x/x and I bet out on Q turn, his range is wide as anything as you can see in previous hand. He raises my bet and I call, he bet big on river and I call again... not my luck yet again. Similar situation, can't find the hand anymore but villain shoved random hand before this one, now he limps and I raise 4x and he shoves, I call with ATo which is probably about the cut off for me vs any 2 cards range. Of course he has to have KK here and I can't spike an A. Next hand same table as above, not involved but hand goes limp pre, even the reg with QJo limps lol, then all the money goes in on the flop, as you can see rec from above happily gets it in with ATo vs 2 others lol. UTG rec limps, I raise, BTN calls and so does UTG, I cb flop, BTN folds and UTG calls, I just jam the turn as he has about 1.5 pot left... QQ of course... What a hand next as well, BTN is a reg, I open he 3b I call, flop jin, he bets small I call, he bets 1/2 and I raise 2.5x on the turn and he calls, and I just jam the river, KQ sprung to mind before jamming... can't make this up. CO opens pre, I call as more fun players behind, and BB also calls, CO bets 1/2 on flop I call, he bets 1/2 on turn again and I raise and he calls. Then he donk jams the river... have to fold here, bloody sigh. No wonder I'm not getting anywhere at 50NL atm lol.

Mirror imaged?? Wtf is that for English? Silly me 🤣 Numbers are in for the month of September, raked €565 / 22,600 hands played / €442 profit (25NL & 50NL) 25NL -> 15202 hand played / €560 profit -> 14.7bb/100 50NL -> 7402 hands played / -€118 loss -> -3.2bb/100 Last months 25NL was 11bb/100 ish so quiet a big difference between 25NL and 50NL, small sample of course but still about break even at 50NL atm. I'd like to believe I'm better than -3.2bb/100 lol. The 50NL games don't really feel too much different than 25NL so I guess I can only point out variance as the main cause. We will see what happens for the rest of September.

Online poker confirmed rigged. I 3b on 2 tables and the same flop came down at the same time, only mirror imaged by suits!!

The hint is in his name ffs, can it be even more obvious? 🤣

Good luck 👍

That's a quarter done and so is September, have requested my stats for last month and just waiting on it. €550 profit last month where €100 was from my playthrough bonus. Still have €200 left on the €500 bonus but that has now expired so just seeing if I can get it revived once again, fingers crossed. 50NL has been mixed results so far, bankroll almost hit 1.5k but then had a dip and bottomed out at around €950 but we are still playing 50NL and bankroll is somewhere halfway in between now. Sessions have been weird at times, some where I got 3/4 betted time after time and then like yesterday not being able to flop a thing ever. I played 4.5h yesterday and just made a small profit. Had only 2 all ins pre in those 4.5h 🤨 my KK vs AA which I lost and my AK vs AQ which I won. Lots of hands even 3b pots going 3way etc so it's hard to get value if you keep flopping nothing and I'm forced to fold most flops. Player pool seems still very splashy at times so definitely money to be made. As I didn't make Loyalty lvl6 last quarter I started back from lvl 1 and atm I'm halfway to lvl 4. Goal should be to make lvl 6 this quarter so I can take the bonus point multiplier over to next quarter. Should be just about feasible at 50NL. Few hands now, I squeeze pre with KK, UTG fun player and BTN both call and we see a A high flop, UTG donks half pot... BTN folds and so did I, not much we can do here but sigh fold. UTG opens, MP fun player calls I decided to squeeze here, both call and again, MP donks out and nothing I can do but fold. Another squeeze pot where both fun player and a reg call, nothing I can do with AQo here once again, with a heart I could potentially cbet but vs 2 it already gets pretty thin. Same hand here but no more bets were done and we checked it down. Very ugly run out on the board so didn't feel like betting the turn either. Silly hands. Another 3b squeeze pot, MP opens, CO calls and I sqeeze and both call, MP big bet donks out and I just jammed it in, CO folded. Poorly played but he gets there, fun player villain is on tables above as well, just a button clicker really lol. Another weird multiway pot, 3 limps pre and I make it 8bb and UTG and MP both call. Went x/x/x to the river and board ran out Ks and Jh and I just blocked the river and both folded. Very strange once again. Also play a few hands on the side on RIO still, games are very random there as well, my run good there has run away I think. People rarely folding vs 3bets and getting it in with random crap as long as it hits the board in some way, very splashy. AA hand all in on the flop, villain jammed 64o in a hand before pre lol, of course I'm not allowed to win a single hand there. Another weird situation where I 3b and one coldcalls so we go 3 way to the flop, hard to win a pot if you don't flop amazing and other people are willing to gamble anything. One of the monkeys sitting with 1100bb's lol, guy couldn't lose a pot, just ridiculous. Very frustrating to say the least. I'll update again once I get my stats for 25NL and 50NL September results.

Still same issue with version 14.8 on Iphone.

Haven't played on a mobile for a while but this is how it was showing last night and same today as I've just checked so guess it's not a weird temporary bug. Maybe not the sharpest of pictures but the button and money on the table icons all look dodgy for whatever reason. Just a graphical issue, rest runs fine. Iphone 8 / Software version 14.7.1 Does not show on my Ipad 5th gen / Software version 14.4 (still on older version) Currently updating phone to a newer version 14.8 but no idea if it will make a difference. (taking a while lol)

@Jami-Unibetjust for the record, still not working.

No option to show one or both cards if opponent folded at any point in the hand. All hands that go to showdown are visible.

Pretty bad weekend, me vs fish, fish always got the better of me 🙄 dropped 7 buy ins at 50NL on Saturday as couldn't hit a thing. Then played an hour of 25NL today and 4 buy ins up, then played some 50NL again but pretty much break even. Cut off for going back to 25NL is €850 and got close to it but not there yet lol. Some right bloody whales out there but not being able to hit a flop isn't making it easy. I open AK UTG, SB 3b to 8.5bb and BB calls, easy 4b for me to 25bb and SB folds and BB calls, pot is about 60bb and he has 70bb behind, never folding AK here but its a weird situation. I 1/4 flop and he jams so I just call, 2 overs and back door FD and SD. Sad, one stack gone. Same villain as above, I open KK and BB 3b to 7bb (too small) so I pop it to back to 20bb and he calls. I go half pot and he raises, I just get it in... ffs... other stack and half gone. UTG fun player limps and I raise to 5bb, CO calls and so does UTG. I cb 1/3 flop and CO calls and UTG folds. Turn doesn't change much so bet big and he jams... I find it hard folding top 2 especially when villain is a reg fish or something. Could have a worse 2 pair or a combo draw type of hand. No luck. Next hand same villain as above, he opens UTG I 3b he calls, I cb 1/2 as he shouldn't have much that hit that board, block bet the turn and he jams, I called because he's an idiot obviously lol, calling 3b with A5o lol. But looks like I'm the real idiot /doh. Same luck on RIO, small player pool as feck but some guys play like 60/40 or 50/40 etc so it's very aggro. Then I get a hand, triple barrel it off and they get there on the river sigh. Same calling a 3b and I get there with my hand, of course they have the nuts vs my 2nd nuts. Annoying thing here, CO opens and I 3b and BB (shorty) coldcalls, CO folds. I bet 1/2 flop and he donkbets 2.2bb and I timed out on another table I think and then on this table too. So my hand got folded, weird stuff. I barely ever time out so not sure what happened. And I can't check anymore as I forgot to record the start of that session lol. I 3b SB vs BTN open, he calls, I bet 1/2 flop and turn and ship the river. I thought he had some pocket pair so decided to jam on the A riv too, didn't feel like my K high was going to win at showdown much. Im not too sure about his float tbh... Same villain as previous hand, at least I got some cash back lol. Limps pre and I raise to 4bb and he calls, 1/2 flop and bam decent turn I have pretty much the nuts so check back and he bets out the riv so I ship it. Feck me again! Few hands later this, he limps again and I raise, eventually get it in on the river.... sigh lucky button clickers. Sb is a megawhale, no foldbutton, floats anything. Nightmare if you don't flop anything. I open KK, BTN 3b and SB calls so I make it 25bb and BTN and SB both call. SB donk jams flop so can only call here and I jam... bloody flopped the nuts... Few hands later this, he limps I make it 6bb, flop is decent enough for 88, I'm just pissed off and he is doing more button clicking and I'm not folding now... K2 F off mate. Again vs same whale, open KK he calls, he donk pot bets flop I call, turn goes x/x and he pot bets riv again and I call... the guy does random stuff all the time but hey ho... KK no good. Same guy again, limp calls my raise, calls a 1/2 bet on the flop so he just floats whatever. Turn and river get checked through... def pissed off, when I have a hand I can't win, and when I don't flop anything he still gets there with a worse hand... frustrating. Next hand other table, think I won a pot vs villain before so I open AJs and he open jams his 30bb stack, easy call... and lose again vs A worse kicker... Hard times atm, but we are still at 50NL for now. Hope we get the giraffe going again soon 😄

Few more hands, first 2 are worst folds in poker history 😂 First hand, CO limp and SB completes and I check, flop checks through and turn the SB bets out and I fold and I didn't realise I had flopped a boat 😅 I wasn't paying much attention as was a limped pot and other hand was going on so folded to quick. Next hand, I open CO 2.5x and BTN raises to 4x lol, SB calls and I ended up folding. Both BTN and SB are fun players so even with QTo I think we should call, I didn't notice they had raised so small and just folded but then when I saw the flop I was like damn! Worst this is that the flop checked through, turn went 1/2 and pot bet on the river. Might have stacked him unless he hit a flush on the river. 3b pot I probably butchered a bit, def on the river. BTN opens I 3b bit bigger as we are 135bb deep, he calls. Flop goes x/x as monotone flops are mostly x back or bet small as a rule. I bet 1/3 on turn but solver likes to keep checking with my hand. But small bet is still ok and I get 3x raised. I called and so does solver. Face a 65% bet on the river, having the K high flush I prob suckered myself into a call but what bluffs do people have here in reality? I only beat J high flushes and worse and don't see them betting that size on river. A reg wouldn't anyway imo. Next 3 shots same hand, and again the whale table from before. I open AQo, CO calls, BTN raises 10x which is a bit small I'd say being a bit deeper, whale in SB calls, I have the option of 4b or fold. Opted for a fold as I don't really want to play a big pot with this hand. CO calls 3b as well. BTN bets 1/3 on flop, seems fine multiway on this board, SB calls and CO folds. Turn goes x/x and so does river. KK wins... BTN is a reg and he bets KK on the flop into 2 fun players in a 3b pot on a A high board... terrible lol. If it's heads up a range bet is fine with KK as BTN range smashes that flop but vs 2 fun players it seems rather thin, the chance of any of them having an A is high and I prefer a bet on the river if it gets checked through. That's about it for now, time to play some more
