@MicroBeard That actually makes sense lol, I always thought it was the same prize for the entire day.

Biggest losing session of the month, should have kept my mouth shut 😅 Played 50NL on RIO and 100NL on Unibet... running pretty 🤮 I open UTG, get 3b and I call, I x/r flop and he snap called lol, strange action. We have almost 70% equity on the flop and still 60% on the turn... bricks out. Villain is a weaker player, 3b small is I think then bombed the flop, kinda light float for me then pick up a flushdraw and decided to go with it, only have 25% on the turn. SB 3b BTN, I 4b and he calls, money goes in on the flop, pff... almost 50/50 on the flop. Crap shortstacker, not the only pot I lost vs him, calls J2s in BB vs CO... bad. Shorstacker again, raised flop and just shoved it fuck it lol, again no luck. Also about 50/50 here on the flop. And won a prize drop again, still don't have a clue how this works, get 500 points and again not even on the prize drop list. Hopefully run a bit better Saturday and Sunday! Enjoy the weekend! 😎

Another session played last night and ended up being a winning one, didn't start great with AK vs KK putting me a stack down straight away at the start lol but after some battling I won AA vs QQ for 120bb deep which took a marginal loss to an ok win. Sometimes it's all about the flips 😁 And another hand I forgot I screenshotted on my phone vs that whale on Tuesday evening, so bizarre how hot some can run in a short period of time, he was always hitting 2p+ with any hand. He eventually left with his 400bb stack. Trying to get a few hours in again this weekend, not sure where I'm at in the RIO rakerace as the leaderboard isn't showing in the client but I haven't seen too much play going on in the last few days. Really hope I can end April the way it has been so far, decent profit on Unibet and just in the profit on RIO. All in all I just hope it's because I have improved as a player and not just because of dumb variance luck 😂

€1 rake back for every post made on this forum for the next 30 days to celebrate the upgrade, thanks @ReCorpH 🤑 I’m pretty sure this will be a success 🤣

Past 2 days have been pretty 👎 , variance has swung the other way and been struggling to hit anything lol. Ended up -€70 on Monday and -€90 yesterday. Overall this isn't spectacular playing 50/100NL so in that way I'm glad I'm not down like 10 buy-ins. Yesterday was quiet some session, 1 table on RIO with 3 whales on it, could barely get in to a hand as they were 3b and cold calling and calling down like maniacs so just trying to wait for hands or/and hitting flops. Build up a bit of a stack eventually but then had this hand vs a reg: 200bb deep, I 3b and big cb flop and turn and get minraised on the turn. I called the raise being IP and then got jammed on on the river which I called as well. Not sure if I should have jammed the turn myself. 70% ish equity on the turn with these exact hands. Solver plays hand the same (100bb deep) up to turn raise, CO should just call the bet, seems bit weird OOP. F knows... Overall played ok just no luck in these big pots which destroyed my profit. I stopped playing on the pc and weirdly enough I was up €200 for the day thanks to Unibet but had one massive whale on a table so decided to play that one table on my phone but not long after the whale limped and I had AK so I raise and he jammed, nothing else to do than call and he shows KK... did not hit an ace. Then lost some more weird multiway hands postflop and I ended up the day -€87 somehow lol. Should have quit while I was ahead! 🤣 Won't be playing today so back on it tomorrow. Another rake race on RIO again this week and currently 8th for a free €50. See what happens for rest of the week if I can improve on that, think it will be a long shot but I'll be happy if I can retain the €50 at least. Still happy with my play so far just running a bit rougher lately, but I can't complain as I haven't had a massive loss yet so far this month like I sometimes had before. Not even had a 2 buy-in (50NL) loss on a single day this month so that's pretty awesome. Might have jinxed it now though 😆 Oh yeh, new forum nice, too bad we are back to forum virgins rank wise 😛

Some more hands but from Wednesday, was a tough session as well and had a look at some hands. 1st hand is from yesterday though, trying to spread my NL4 ticket wealth around, first hand I get dealt in and open jammed it, he called after some thinking... ffs can't lose lol, ticket now on €21.5 🤣 This is how my session started, join a RIO table, I see this weaker player 3b every hand before this one and then I get AQo and decided to rip it in after her 4b me... ffs really... Next 2 hands are like the ones in my previous post, those random players who pot bet a lot, very annoying when you don't have anything lol I squeeze with AQo but whiff the flop. Easy fold vs that bet. I open QQ, get 3b, 'fish' coldcalls and I 4b, I folds and 'fish' calls, I cb 1/4 flop and he calls, then he donks out this on the turn. Weird spot being deeper as well, I folded my QQ but dunno, maybe he's just randomly pressing buttons. Then 2 pots vs reg ish villains, open 44 and get a call pre. cb flop and he calls, turn x/x which solver bets so should have bet I guess. River villain bets and I raise and get jammed on, I called it off, solver approves but I didn't like and still don't like my call. Reality is very few people would jam trips here. Another annoying hand, open KQ bvb, get 3b and I call, flop the nuts, x/c a bet, turn pairs and goes x/x. I bet 1/3 on 4card flush and get jammed on. Decided to fold, solver calls this off but I don't see what we beat here, another flush which is max J high and 3b pre? and check behind on the turn is suspicious imo. You would check back a boat but not a flush I'd say. Enough posts for now, prob play an hour tonight or maybe 2 if I got time.

Couple of hands from last night: Good old 4x 4b size OOP lol, easy fold. Next 4 hands are vs same player, seen a few of this type of 'fish' playing on Unibet, very picular way of playing, does small 3b pre like 2x lol but post flop it likes to pot every street, bluff or value does not matter. Very weird to play against, waiting for a hand then just calling it off, does fold vs raises at times so slowplaying or handing him the initiative is best option. Annoying to play against when you don't flop a thing for sure. 1st hand think got minraised on flop then bombed on turn and river? Even with an A on the board I find it hard to find a fold knowing the way he plays. Think he donk trippled it and I just called it off, good on him for getting there on the river... Payback time, 3b him pre and cb half pot or something, I x turn and he bombed it and I minraised him which he called, then shoved the river, cheers. Another hand where I just call his pot bets. T9s villain is a shorty, nothing special for the rest, this hand was for bankroll damage control lol Lost 3 50NL stacks on RIO but was up on Unibet, still down -€35 overall, not too bad as it was a tough session, can't win em all.

2 hours played today, 50NL on RIO and 100NL on Unibet, session was tough as old boots :speechless: lots of folding and only made a small loss. Not the way you want to run at the weekend. Maybe post some hands tomorrow as it's too late now, but one thing I don't get from this prize drop is this: I've had this before and how do you get 500 points if that's not even one of the prizes? Says 2500 or 200 so does it get split over the table or something? Bizar!

Well we are STILL here! Thought this forum would go offline for at least half a week lol, prob be a day I guess. Update on last nights session, didn't have much time last night and wasn't going to play but ended up checking some emails and logged in on RIO to see if anything was going, 2 tables of 100NL so joined it whilst checking emails lol. Played about 25min tops, gained 2 stacks 😛 Testing if picture comments are working again... 3 pics from Friday night: Edit still not working 😞 3b KJo pre vs weaker player, not the best hand but it is 3b or fold. He calls pre and I 3 barrel it off and he just called it off after some thinking on river. Open TJo on BTN and BB call, I cb and get x/r. I call and call turn bet. Then face an overbet riv shove... Which I called as I'm a fish lol, no diamond which is good but I might fold this on Unibet. RIO is thougher as more aggro plays going on. Also didn't feel like someone was going to overbetjam a better T on the river for value.

Well we are still up and running here lol, sometimes I see the forum alert but mostly I don't, weird stuff. Just a quick update, played yesterday and today, up on both days. Yesterday was a rough session that I will review at the weekend, some interesting spots. Today went fine, played 2x 50NL on RIO and 2/3x 100NL on Unibet and 2 biggest pots lost was vs a whale, typical. Calling my 3b or squeezes with absolute garbage and hitting it better as well. AK, I squeeze he calls, I'm never folding vs him on the flop because of stack size.I checked flop as I knew he was gonna bomb it or spaz it and he did, I jammed over it and he called... Same story, I call pre and he 3 barrel bombed it, I just called it off... I mean what is there to say. Cost me a stack basically today, could have been up more :teardrop: Get 3b so I call, calls flop cb hit best card beside a Q and call it off, he trippled it. Think his hand is a give up on that river tbh. Only thing I maybe fold is a FD. Right, we will see when this forum goes offline but if I can add another post at the weekend I will lol.

@AcesHigh Unibet is untracked in a way you can't track in depth info on your own but you can always request your stats and that's what those bb/100 are based on. I'll maybe do another calculation at the end of this month and see what we are at now for the month, or this year so far or maybe the past 6 months or something. Also noticed the forum will be unavailable for a while starting end of this week till next Tuesday or something so depending on the day it kicks in I won't be making a post about my poker sessions anymore till then. Did not play yesterday as had too much on after work but will be playing a bit today. Not sure what to expect for the new forum but hopefully it will be interesting 😃

Loading "common sense" *file not found* Some posts in here 🤣

Could have known! Losing session lol. Played 4 tables, 2x 50NL RIO and 2x 100NL at Unibet. What a difference, RIO so swingy and aggro, mostly 3 way. Then Unibet 100NL is a bloody nitfest. Tried to toggle through some tables to get some decent ones but pff 1 'fish' per table seems best I could find... terrible. Maybe stick to 50NL during the week and have some shots at the weekend. Not much to mention from Unibet, pretty boring if you compare it with RIO 🤣 here I open 77 and SB 3b... then BB coldcalls which is random as the guy is a nit reg I still remember from before. Wonder what he calls there 99-TT-JJ AJs AQs ? So yeh I call as well flop a dream. Goes x/x and I bet 1/3 to build a pot and protection against flush draws, SB raises, BB folds and we get it in... FFS 66% equity but no joy. Got 3b and I call, think he 1/3 flop then x turn and then I decided to run it as a bluff with my blockers, 2/3 turn and overbet jammed the river. He thought for ages then called, boo! :teardrop: Call pre vs BTN, he tripple barrels it with big bets, thought for a while on the river as well but he was very aggro and he did some stuff like that before so I called, woop 😀 Pretty bad line with 33 imo. I open BTN and BB calls, I x back flop, he bets out turn and I raise he calls, then I 2/3 river and he raises me all in for like 1.5x pot, not folding this. I 3b and I bomb the flop and the turn, think I x/c his jam on the river, don't feel like I can fold top 2 and not blocking any flush draws. BB 3b, I 4b and he calls, I bomb the flop for value/protection, he calls. I jam turn and he calls again. Guess he doesn't block flushdraws either here. Pretty light I think this deep though. Weirdly enough made a profit on RIO lol but that's my winning streak gone for my combined bankroll, ah well, there is always tomorrow 😀

And another winning day under the belt! So far this month I've played 9 days and only lost on 2 of them, let's keep playing/running like this! 🆒 Nothing much else to mention, just a few random hands, hit another royal flush on RIO, but this one is better looking on the board 😛 wish there was a bonus for it lol. The random call pre, random flop cb float, x/x turn and bets out on A riv, nice hand. BTN limp pre, I made it 6bb, BB and BTN call. Think I x the flop and goes x/x. Bet small on turn and 2 calls, riv x through again, weird! Back to work tomorrow... /poop emoji 😀

@HopeYouRebuy Nothing you can do when you keep having the better hand, as you say stay calm and relax and believe in your play as this will get you through the 'bad' times. I also like this: "If being stupid would hurt, then a lot of people will start to scream." 😀

Added more to my previous post, clicked post too soon! @fest_student Why do I play on RIO, if you are lucky you can get some decent money with the rakeraces as an extra bonus. Although seems bit hard when there are hardly any games going lately and I can't watch the client nor play all day 7/7 but whatever. Games aren't really soft, more like too aggro so in a way it is maybe more of a challenge playing there to improve my game. I do like the software as well and at times it is nice to play with hotkeys too for a change. When I played a massive volume on Unibet last year that was probably the most annoying thing, clicking all the time with the mouse hours on end. Day in day out and my wrist started to suffer tbh. Another reason could also be to not get stuck with one playerpool as I rather develop my game to suit a general poker game and not a single poker client meta game if that makes sense. And sometimes just nice to play elsewhere for a change, a different skin to look at :laugh:

Well didn't play on Friday as I just couldn't be arsed, I know some find it a sin not playing on a Friday or a Saturday but whatever :lovekiss: What I forgot in my previous post is that I joined a 4NL game as I had a ticket and though hey I run it under 50bb and cash in €2 or whatever is left... but somehow I now have almost €16 on that ticket 🤣 If you can't beat 4NL... 😛 Might just join a table once and just donk it around, giving it back to the community lol. Played a 2h session again tonight, what a splashy games damn. Again no games on RIO so just played on Unibet, 3 tables of 50NL and 2 tables of 100NL. Very volatile session to say the least, weirdly enough I ended €110 up but that's most from end of the session I think. Must be drink/drugs night the way some played tonight 🤣 This is the way the session was: KAKA which means poop in Dutch/Flemish 😛 Next few hands are people jamming over a tiny pot, WTH is going on?? Too bad I never had a 'nutty' hand. Well I had a hand vs this villain who jammed one of the hands above, all in on the turn woop. Bit strange hand, call in BB vs BTN, can sometimes 3b. He big bet the flop and just called, then he bombs the turn so let's go for it but he folded, not too sure what hand he had here betting like pot on the turn then folding to a jam. This hand was vs same villain as above, def a reg and he bombed the flop and turn again lol. Double gutter not folding here, and he x/c my jam. Crap shortstacker slowplaying me, he 3b I 4b and he calls, then just calls 1/4 on flop and jam on turn. Then he left and joined again as shortstack. Did same later when he won KKvsQQ or something... ❤️♥️❤️ 😏 3 all ins today, AA vs 88 which I lost vs shorty. JJ vs QQ after I squeezed and someone who just joined the table showed up with QQ, bummer. Then won QQ vs AK. Also won this tonight, worth €50 basically. Thanks 🆒 And I bought another €500 playthrough bonus, I know we discussed the ticket here but can't wrap my head around it so just keep it simple with this. See what Sunday brings, more crazy batsh!t who knows :laugh:

@fest_student As you seem to be gaining quite a bit lately what is your bankroll target for the next step up then? Looks like you are doing more than good enough in these smaller MTT's you play.

Just posting a bit of last nights 2h session, good start, meh in the middle and good end lol. Played 4 tables on Unibet and 1 table on RIO for a short period and lost a stack there with 88 vs AK all in pre. Guy was playing 50/40 and lots of 3betting so I just stuck it in with 88 blind vs blind. Very much bottom of my stack of range and maybe should fold it as eventhough they play 50/40 their 4b+ range is probably pretty tight and I was lucky to be up against AK but didn't win the flip. Overall down a few buyins on RIO so far this month but struggling to get volume in as not many games running, be lucky to get 3 tables going at peak moments. Unibet was fine last night, had a few nice bluffcatchers to start with where people just decide to bet river big with showdown value hands as a bluff? or something after I checked back TPTK kinda hands. Halfway through I had a reg seated on my left on 3 of the 4 tables 3betting me a bit too much to my likings and called a few times but just hit brick flops and one hand went to showdown and he had KK. Always annoying when you have the same aggro person sitting on your left on most if not all your tables. Unibet is going pretty decent so far this month but still a long way to go. MP opens, SB calls, standard squeeze, MP folds SB calls, I range cb dry flop he calls and I check back turn. He donks half pot or something easy call. Villain limps and I raise, flop goes x/x, and I call his turn and river bets. Not sure why I saved this hand lol. MP opens, I 3b, BB coldcalls and MP joins us. Flop goes x/x/x, I bet out small on turn and BB calls, MP folds. I think a K would have bet flop and BB is also a weaker player. I x riv and he jams, just based on I know he is a fishy player I've seen before few times I just called, ah well thank you. I 3b vs CO open, low frequency 3b, not a flop I would often bet but with Ac blocker I bet big and get called. Turn goes x/x and he pots river, nothing else to do, just call. UTG opens, I call on BTN as weaker player in BB, otherwise fold. Go heads up and get it in on the flop, standard hand. I'm 60% favourite but just not this time lol. This one was a weird one, I open get 3b and decided to call. Think I called his big bet on flop, wasn't sure if this was a 100% raise. He checked turn and I bet 1/2 pot, he jams and I called. Weird spot for AA and KK I feel, not the wettest board but connected enough. Solver never calls with AA pre here lol. Weird spot with QQ, pre goes minraise and 2 calls so I squeeze and get 2 calls. I cb 1/2 or something and get 2 calls, not a great turn and not sure what best play is. Don't want to x and give a free river or see an A or K. So I jammed and 1 player called after some thinking, happy days :Smile: Weekeeeennndddd, good luck at the tables :Cool:

Considering you've won the tournament I think the ATs play was excellent, well done 😛 Although I don't play tournaments and have limited knowledge of ICM or bubble play etc I think it's an ok play, you cover the table and even though ATs isn't the best it isn't the worst either and you have an A blocker. SB vs CO might be standard spot I don't know lol. My 2 cents :laugh:

No games running on RIO and taking ages to get me seated on Unibet after only being able to join 1 table after few minutes, not gonna bother playing today. Did play 4 hexapro's as had tickets that needed using, 1x €1, 2x 2€ and 1x €50 ticket. Lost all the small ones but won the 50 ticket for €75, good enough profit for the day 😏

So from €8,000 a week to almost double but now I have to share it with people playing MTTs and Hexa's 🤣 But people have to be member of the community here so that would already cut down the numbers a bit I guess? Bit of a weird requirement no? @Stubbe-Unibet

@KrustyTheClown Thanks for letting me know 😃 as I said before I don't make this blog in particular for an audience but it's nice to see people like to read my blog and like to follow the updates

Well that's me bricked both tournaments, no luck in super double trouble ended around 35th or so and kinda botched the double trouble one, could have folded my way in the money probably as was around rank 75 with 115? left, jammed AJo and got called by this... not sure why they would call that but hey ho... Notice "THE LAST ONE" in the description 😃 MP 3b UTG but he 3b previous hand as well and was a bit aggro, would probably fold AKo in this spot but 4b here, bad flop, ooh nice turn, oh tss river 😛 BTN is a rec, he 3b co, I 4b him and he calls, I cb flop and jammed turn, he called, straight beats straight 😀 3b pre, he calls, he raises my big bet, ok let's go all in, thought he had a flush draw but no luck. Small profit today, could have been worse. Also won a €2 hexapro from the drop. Interested to see what the new double trouble thingy is going to be, guess I'll find out soon enough as I'm that good of a poker player, I mean variance and all that :Rofl:

Facking hell! Bloody spammers 🤣 Double trouble is still running today for the last time, feel so honoured to be able to play both of them once again 🤣 And on a sidenote, I got pushed down on RIO leadRboard and only cashed €50 😞
