@Dennis__ sessions where you keep losing with valid hands / flips are very annoying. And I understand the inner rage as I feel it myself when running like that but you let it get to you too much. It has a lot to do with acceptance like KK vs AA there isn't actually anything to be said as it's a standard hand. Yes it stinks when you get KK 5 times and villain shows up with AA every single time but it is what it is. Like the session I had on RIO a while back where I lost with AA 3 times in a row pre and post flop when having the best equity. It didn't really tilt me at all as I just accepted it as what it was. Of course this doesn't make it less annoying for sure. About the pictures, think there are some migration issues as they are doing something with this forum as well (not sure what tbh) and I have reported this bug but no official comment on it so far.

50NL was probably the first stake where I was confronted with a more aggro game in general when I moved up last year. Depends how your game is at 10NL but 10NL to 50NL is a big jump imo. Also need to realise that the player pool gets smaller the higher you go. Fish stay fish but regs will become much better/more aggro. Depending what time you play might be lots of regs on and less recs.

@Dennis__ the new loyalty system, should have added the word loyalty lol. The challenges will disappear and they will add some features to see your own play stats (more or less). Was meant to launch 1st of April with the 2nd quarter but has been postponed. https://www.unibetcommunity.com/t5/General-Poker/New-poker-loyalty-system-1st-of-April-First-official-details/td-p/372327

A reason why the new system would probably help us a bit more in showing us some stats, too bad it has been postponed as I'm also interested to see some stats on myself as it's hard to judge whether I'm doing ok or if I have been kidding myself all along 🤣

Hope you don't base your sessions quality on the monetary outcome lol? I often still have that feeling that when I have a losing session it feels like I've played crap and vice versa. But I'm doing a better job nowadays in kinda blocking this out and look at my session more objectively. Hands are simply not always going your way and that's out of your control.

@SkilfulPoker Didn't really affect me as I had a good run there doubling my stack to start with just by winning pots here and there followed by that nut flush hand 200bb deep, but when I looked at the flop Kxx I was like oh yeh that one is sorted... and it goes pretty quick and didn't even realise I lost it 🤣 some ridiculous runouts I've been having on RIO lately. But still made a profit so it is what it is. Had my cash results of January and February, took them almost a week for a reply damn, but ok not like it is that much of a hurry. Played 26k hands over these 2 months, 20k in January and so little in February lol. Down €1280 overall, €127 profit in February though 😛 €1454 rake paid. Let's make March a better one again :peace:

1.5h session, happy with my play, didn't make too many questionable plays but did fold JJ in a 3b pot vs a 1/3 cb on a low board by accident /doh. bvb I open, x/r flop, blockbet turn and 2/3 riv and got jammed on, happy days. Not sure what best play is on turn here. Often cehck I think but not sure after x/r and my actual hand. Will have a look in to that later. All in pre, I 3b and he 4b (lol) so I jammed, whot... rubbish is this. All in on the turn... keeps happening this 82% vs 18% /roll eyes Trying to keep playing 4 tables max, used to play up to 6 tables and although I can follow my own action it is way harder to follow the meta game per table, like who is going crazy, who just had a bad beat etc. I do feel like I play better with 4 tables but it is still weird how I have that feeling of opening up more tables for some reason lol. Maybe something to do with boredom especially when being card dead. Edit, why are my comments below pictures not showing >.<

Still waiting on my results... bit poor waiting since Monday on an email reply. Might have to try live support again or something 😞 Also not played a hand of poker this month :wow: better fire up a session now or I might soon forget the rules of the game 😛

The only ones offended here are eskimos as they prefer to be called Inuit. /racism tut tut tut 😏

@SkilfulPoker Cheers for the invite, had a good run in the first one, didn't last long in the second one 🤣 awfull playing field 😀 now not sure what I'll be doing with my tickets... tournaments hmm :haha: Who was da_turdd btw? I feel offended by that name lol.

Test test test we are back online lol. Played both double trouble tourneys but no joy, around 25th or so for the super double trouble, JJ vs AA standard.

I logged in on Saturday, get a notification about being credited a surprise flip ticket, click on it and nothing to see. Notification gives the date of Saturday so pretty pointless if I missed it, makes it even worse telling me whilst there is nothing there lol.

@Dennis_ I feel your pain! Downswings / running bad can be brutal. It becomes even worse the smaller your actual win rate is as your downswing will be worse vs someone who is a crusher in the game. Knowing from watching poker videos of poker pros even they can go on downswings that can last months just because they run against top of their opponents ranges or just never get their whilst always getting it in with the best equity. As @FreedoM said, nothing else to do then keep going, make sure you keep your BRM under control and keep checking the hands you played or lost rationally to see if you are making the best plays or not. Overcoming times like that is probably one of the major strengths you need as a poker player

Well that's another month gone and very low volume I think, tried contacting live support for my stats for the year but that wasn't loading so just send an email. Just interested to see my volume or lack of. Still played 17 days out of the 29 so not all dead. Managed to get a winning month just by having a great last day, almost 6 buy-ins up in an hour and called it a day then 🤣 up €133 for the month, up €286 on Unibet and €153 down on RIO. Not played much on RIO last week as every time I logged in nobody was playing. Pretty average month, feel like I play better but lack of results is keeping me away from putting more volume in just now. But I did enjoy my session yesterday, ran good so that helps. At this moment I have 165k points, might give it a go to try and get 250k this month to get the extra bonus points. Need another 1500 points to be able to buy another €500 playthrough. Still have some bonuses lined up, atm just over 50% of the last €30 segment of my €150 bonus, then 2 times a €5 xmas bonus 🤣 and another €10 after that, not sure if there is anything else after as can't remember for sure. Also still have a double trouble and a super double trouble from last week, need to set my alarm as I always forget these tournaments, annoying. That's about it I guess, main focus is just playing well / better and bit less on volume and running better! (yes let's blame that 😏)

I better set my alarm or I'll forget 🤣

@Stubbe-Unibet Thanks for fixing that top up bug asap already! Now give me a fold button hotkey 😀

No real update, not played much on Unibet, that top up bug does my head in. Running great on RIO atm 😞

That's like a KK hand I had a few days ago vs 2 villains, both having AA but I didnt hit a K and they split the pot :waterfall: I only managed to get a €1 hexapro ticket but I forgot I regged for this tournament, wish I could get reminders by text or something lol.

@GR1ZZL3R Winner winner chicken dinner 🤣

Its anonymous so you don't know who you play day after day. And they all play like mad, he was running 33/30 and lots of players run crazy as feck during rake races, it's pretty absurd. Don't think I would ever fold a J high flush tbh. In a more normal game I might not raise the river but RIO is quite some place to play poker at times lol.

Not sure if brave or crazy lol.

FFS

Oh I called :waterfall: 😀 I'll post the screenshot tonight.

So played an hour sesh last night, 5 tables, 2 RIO and 3 Unibet. Nothing much happened on unibet, bit card dead or board dead and lost about €40, but shipped the double trouble today for €40 so back to square one lol. Anyway, ran/played good on RIO, ended up 4 buyins but here is an interesting hand, 200bb deep and what other players often do is leave the table and come back with 100bb after they doubled up, I never really do but playing deep is really out of my comfort zone when some villains put the pressure on and want to play for stacks all the time. So yeh this hand, games are very aggro all round, standard open for me on the BTN and BB call. Flop is check or big cbet so with my actual hand big cbet and I get raised. Just called the raise. Turn face a 1/3 bet and I call. River and he bet halfpot and I felt I had to raise, seemed so weird that he would bet a K high flush for half pot after 1/3 on the turn. And I only raised 2.5x to keep lower flushes in to kinda make sure he calls. Then I got shoved on in my face lol, I thought for ages before I made a decision, what would you do here? Sick spot imo. x/r flop, small bet turn and half pot riv feels like Kx for the flush or the K flush blocker anyway, and with the A and Q already on the board any other flush is going to be a lot weaker and here I am with the 2nd nuts...
