The reward is that tiny making it hard to spot 🤣

@Stubbe-Unibet Not planning to find out if we can lose more this week but won’t be possible anyway with the current bankroll 😂 Update for poker this week: so far haven’t played as no time, gf has been away for a few days visiting family/friends and I’m too busy taking dog out when I get home from work and cook etc etc, will def catch up on poker starting tomorrow (Friday).

2h of 25NL battling on Unibet, funny how there is some d!ck swinging going about with the 'regs' even at that stake. First 3 shots are the same hand, I'm not in it beside preflop, had miss clicked pre as only made it 2x instead of the 2.4x it is on 25NL in bb's. But SB called, BB (fish) minraised, easy fold for me then SB 4b, BB 5b and then all went in the middle. Not a fan of the AKo call pre. Can't remember who won but w/e, normal flip. Another random hand, UTG (fish) opens, SB 3b, BB coldcalls, UTG calls as well, SB cb flop and BB calls, UTG folds, SB cb turn and get jammed on and calls it off, crap river for him. Whale on my table, managed to get this beauty vs him, thanks. Another hand vs same whale, think I 3b pre then let him bluff it off lol, thanks again, ended up with 640bb after he left. Those annoying spots with JJ, I never really call so 3b is standard, get 4b so big lol, makes it easier for me to fold. This hand was from Friday I think vs fish, crap river! Almost back to having a shot at 50NL 😄

More importantly, did you win the hand? 😁

Forgot to mention that I've found another good youtube channel Have only watched a few session review videos but it looks pretty solid to beat the micros.

So been a low profile poker week after the disastrous opening weekend of May. Went broke on 888 poker after getting the bankroll up to about $10 but eventually busted out at 2NL, games are hard 😂 Software is pretty average and mobile vs desktop is for whatever reason different. Their bonuses are crap as well, normal bonus is deposit 10 and get 10 on top of it. Then I had a deposit 30 and get a free 10 offer. And then a deposit 10 get 10 on top and 30 to spend on slots or something. But think they have a 100% deposit bonus up to $400. It's all very confusing lol. I'll leave it for now anyway, but might put a small amount on and play when I have time during work depending on what I'm doing. So about stats, still need to have a proper look through all the stats I still have but for RIO since I started on there: played 205k hands at -2.26 BB/100 and BB is half bb [1 big bet (BB) = 2 big blinds (bb)] so I'm basically running -4.52 bb/100? Not sure, doesn't look good, Bit strange as I've withdrawn 2k now and definitely never deposited that much lol, guess bonuses and extra rakeback stuff must add up 🤨 Says my VPIP/PFR is 28/22, guess that could be a bit closer to each other. Now Unibet for April, €211 rake paid at 50NL, won €695 / 5900 hands at 23.6bb/100, must have been running good! €338 rake paid at 100NL, won €46 / 4900 hands at just under 1bb/100 Obviously 100NL fell off a cliff first few days of May so that giraffe is sticking its head in the ground now 😅 Just time to rebuild now, have €350 on Unibet and €430 on RIO, I'm sure we'll get going again although might take a while 😁

Poker aside, as a Belgian / Flemish person, I’m happy I moved away from that hellhole 8 years ago now 😛 Lovin it here in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It’s even worse when they hand out a cash ticket for a stake you don’t play and only 100bb so you are forced to lose half of it and cash half the ticket or play less than 100bb if you can’t double up or win a pot for a while. And then you still have to grind 300 flops assuming it is the same as any other ticket. I think it’s hard to compare it with the DT or SDT as you wouldn’t win every time but maybe the idea of having a chance of winning €40/€400 and now and then actually winning it is more satisfying than receiving a €25 ticket even if they spread the ‘wealth’ over a bigger player base. Wonder what the criteria is to receive a €100 ticket 😆

So not really played much, bankroll on Unibet is now €350 ish lol 🙄, last 50NL session I had just went same as before, had 3 all ins and won none. AQs vs KK, I had a screenshot but can't find it, there was a massive whale at the table opening 10x or 30x so was just waiting for a hand good enough to get it in as he was playing any 2. He opened 10x or w/e on BTN and SB 3b to 30x? , sb was playing back a lot and I just jammed AQs with all the dead money in the middle and wide ranges. No luck. Other hands were my JJ vs AK and my AK vs J9o (seriously). So plan is to play 25NL to €500 then back to 50NL and drop down again if it goes down to €350. Also taking money off RIO leaving around €400 and drop down to play NL10/NL20 if and when it runs trying to build up a roll again. Also made an account at 888 poker, just having a wee go at it, haven't deposited as not sure if traffic is any good. Had some free micro tourney tickets, barely worth it but I played one last night and managed to cash for $4.70 (dollars) something, start of a bankroll, just playing some NL2, see if we can grind it up and gives me a chance to get used to the software and see what traffic is like even on lowest stake. On top of that, after losing €1650 or something in a week at Unibet, they sent me a text today saying I had won a Replay Rewards Poker mission worth €25. I honestly don't see how this is meant to be of any value, sure nice to get a €25 ticket but if you play higher stakes than that it feels silly to grind away a €25 cash ticket. Looks pointless to me even though I'll be using it now with my current bankroll. Still waiting on my stats from Unibet, wonder if I need to request again as last time I had it within a day I think. I did get an answer from RIO but they don't hand out such stats but they were kind enough to put all my hands through holdem manager or something and give me those stats. I just need to have a better look at it but running -2.26/100bb for all hands I ever played on RIO. Which is kinda weird as I've withdrawn more money than I deposited but guess with bonusses etc and the stats aren't sorted by stake so it's not all that crystal clear. After 3 failed 100NL attempts, 100NL basically giving me the finger time after time 😅 I'm going to keep it a bit tighter with bankroll management. 30 buyins for 100NL and move down when I hit 20 buy ins. But this prob is a couple of months away in the best case lol. Let's see how it goes from here.

Wouldn’t worry too much about posting about other sites as long as you still play on Unibet too 😋 I’ve read a few blogs from years ago from people who posted about pokerstars etc and eventually ended up joining the Unibet team lol. if it was ‘forbidden’ then I’m sure they would have had a note up somewhere. Anyway, you’re still going strong I see 👍

Still running amazing, so far down -€2234 for the month, I honestly can't win a bloody hand. Think I'm going to withdraw all my money from RIO and maybe start from 25NL again on Unibet. Or maybe look for another site. Too daft for words.

Just to clarify this isn’t me under another account 😂 Maybe someone having a pop at me? 🤔

Games are definitely not GTO and I dabble a bit in it with poker scientists but apart from developing your own game, I doubt it is very useful in these games even up to 500NL lol.

Just over an hour session, lost again. Ended with this hand, 3b AK, should probably fold turn the way it went but I always get these hand where it connects just good enough with the board. Typical 3way 3b pot where I hit fuck all again and again. Again some stupid hand where I can't barrel and then they get there as well with rubbish. I open, CO 3b, SB coldcalls, I 4b and they all call, had to x/fold flop so yeh, same old same old, investing 1/4 of my stack and keep hitting f all. Flop the nuts multiway then this runout, I folded... just same shite. 3b then big bet flop with open ender, folded again. Solver mixes this up with my hand and no FD but big bet is standard on this flop for me. BvB, flop goes x/x decided to check back, then I bet turn and get raised I think so I call with TP gut shot and FD. Again never get there and face this bet. Folded yet again. Managed to suck out on AA with my QQ all in preflop but still down 2 buy ins. It's getting boring now. On the positive side, might find out what you get instead of the double trouble or haven't I lost enough yet?

Some fraudster at NL4 copying my alter ego 😂 had about €25 on my NL4 ticket but lost a few all ins there so only €14 now, 203 flops to go, I've seen 100 flops with just going all in or with some limped pots and the ticket is still alive lol.

Well let's see if my 'luck' changes at some point in time. Just joined a table this morning and the same luckdonk who I mentioned a few times in my posts here was at the table, shortstacked. See him calling Q4s on BTN vs CO, can't remember the flop and turn action but he hit a runner runner flush and then checked back his flush on the river when checked to! 😂 Shows you how much button clicking is going on. Then the very next hand he 3b openjams 55 I think vs the same person from previous hand who calls him off with QQ... flop comes 565 🙄 I mean how on earth...

Well @MerenitsuI'm someone who believes in science and logic and how bad I might run and how long it might be I will never believe the system is rigged. If this was some dodgy Chinese platform or something then maybe lol. Ended the day -€1500, bad play, shite variance call it what you want, I barely won a hand today, just doubled up with AA and that must have been it for today. Fish does the min 3b pre, obviously flop has to come down like this and he can't have AK for once. Oh look, that's how it is to win a hand, forgot how it felt. Runs like this makes me wonder if I should continue to put time and effort in this, I don't play poker to win €200 a month. Being a winning player at NL100 would probably be a minimum but doesn't look like I'm good enough for that. Very strange how every time I jump into NL100 it ends up like this as I don't play any different than let's say at NL50. Might need to have a proper think about it all and maybe invest my time in something else.

Well another 1.5h session, more of the same, down -€1300 today, very nice. I don't understand how I can't hit anything every time I play 100NL. Same guy from previous session, how do you get those skills to outflop every opponent? limp calling rubbish and always getting there, FD and 2 overs got it in on the flop, no luck. Reg who calls a 3b with ATo, I cb flop and then x/c turn and river. I was more thinking of seeing AK, I mean how many deuces does he really have and ATs only are 2 more combos, shouldn't have ATo. Not involved in this hand but is same fish from previous session and my first hand in this post, KK opens BTN 3b and he coldcalls, KK 4b and he calls. Then he calls bet on flop and whatever is left on turn. See how do they do this? 3b TT and decided to check flop, he started betting with AQ even on the turn, very bizarre, gets there with his 10% equity or something to the river, well played. Another wtf hand, I just trippled it off as everything misses unless he flopped a straight which would raise. NH Another hand I trippled, normal flop cb, A is a nice turn with my blockers and then river with my Q blocker. Yep another one that got there. And then lost KK vs a fish his AK although standard. Can't even remember winning any hand. Ridiculous.

WTF is it with 100NL, every time I play it goes tits up? Played 2h session and that's me down €650, actually €750 but had a €100 playthrough bonus credited. Started with this hand, annoying spot, whole table calls and one squeezes, I 4b and then get jammed on, can we fold JJ after a 4b with 50bb in the middle... 2 next hands vs same fish: Next 2 hands vs same different fish: End of session, this fish just donk bet pot and raised previous hand with random stuff. I open, he min 3b so I 4b and he calls, he bets pot on flop and then rest of his stack on the turn... lose with 85% Nasty hand, 3b pot flopping basically the nuts, well almost. I x/r flop and got jammed on when I bet the turn... don't see me folding this flush. And then this was last hand before I just quit the session, fed up, 3b pre than bet flop and turn big, x/c the river... had enough of it. Ah well, profits of last month gone lol. 100NL is cursed. Also this image system is bloody annoying, drag it into the post or under the post and it sometimes gets double posted.

So I've sent an email to Unibet and RIO support for my stats, Unibet came back within a day the last time and for RIO I don't know they give out stats but will see when they come back to me, they are mostly pretty quick in answering as well. Overall profit for April is +€722, made +€835 on Unibet but lost -€113 on RIO. Been pretty much around break even mark the whole month on RIO, just a few buy ins up and down all the time lol, not great but could be worse I guess. Biggest issue on RIO is lack of games, often playing shorthanded if any table runs at all which isn't great. I should probably focus more on Unibet and only play on RIO if there are some clear weaker players on the table.

Rough sessions again, played bit on RIO last night, 3x 50NL and 1x 100NL table, ran like hell on that 100NL table and others ran like pure against me. Overall lost €200 even after making a decent profit on the 50NL tables, shame. Best hand of that session: Today same on Unibet, played 100NL till tables broke down then continued at 50NL. Start of the session went like this: All in on the flop: All in on the turn: Preflop goes limp call, I bomb flop and turn, river goes x/x. What on earth eh. Small hand, flop goes x/x, villain bets turn and I call, then he checks riv and I pot bet it, he folds lol. Very annoying hand, pre was like limp call and went multiway, x flop and I raised turn 3x which he called, fugly river and he bet like halfpot, he done it a few times and I maybe leveled myself in a call, he must be value betting like that all the time. At least a nice hand for once, all in on the flop. And then 2 hands of a nitreg who's tilting vs a whale, I missed a few other hands but like the Q8s hand he went 3b pre and insta bet bet bet lol. Clear tilt spew vs same whale.

@Rushbie absolute failure? 💔 That’s it, you are barred from my blog! 🤣

One hour session done, up one buy-in ish. Just adding a few hands: Open AA and get 3b, decided to flat. Villain range bets flop, I raised and he jammed so we call, pretty spewy but thanks. BvB, 100% call pre, SB bets out big 3 streets, bit unlucky but no other option than calling, not too sure about a river jam. Not sure I played this well, BvB again and I x/call down 3 streets. Not sure if villain is meant to keep betting turn, I will have a look at this hand later on. Not sure if and when I should have raised. I open QQ, get 3b, I 4b and he calls. Flop goes x/x. I bet 1/4 on turn and he calls. River I thought for a moment, x or jam. Villain is fishy so I don't really put him on the slowplayed nuts and I think lots of people will check back medium hands that I beat but which they could call off like the TT he shows. Some might even call with a weird played ace, who knows. One more day to work as I'm off on Friday, bit more time for poker 😄 Also, what's happening with these ranks on this forum, think I jumped like 4 ranks in the last 24h 🤨

Funny how we sometimes try to force the game but we all know that this doesn't work lol. And even more important that you can identify your own bad habits as this is also an important step towards progression within your game and as a more complete poker player. Nice profits.

@GR1ZZL3ROk, if you add your bankroll it’s in the positive and so is mines 🤩 I hope to withdraw something too in the near future lol. I know I can win but maybe I’m lacking some consistency in my game.
