@KrisP Still unlucky :teardrop: better luck next time!

@KrisP Those things happen as that's poker variance but at least you got it in good! Nothing else you can do. Also, did he call AA pre or JJ? If it was AA then haha, fish 😀

Had to double check that one, invite only hmm wonder how much you have to lose for that, or how good a customer you have to be

Received another set of double trouble and super double trouble tournament tickets, I'm running that good 🤣 hope I can do the same as last time and bink em both again as without I wouldn't have made much profit last month haha. Not been putting much volume in lately, weekends flying past and I have all sorts of stuff on :annoyed: need to work on this a bit to get some more sessions in. Still watching videos so I'm not really 'away' from poker. Still waiting on July results so once I get them I'll give another update.

Good game everyone, was fun even though I don't really enjoy playing tournaments but was nice to play with the 'community' and have a chat on twitch. Maybe see ya next time and well done @Sparrow473

2000 British Pounds per Unibet staff head? Very generous 😏 I'm in :popeye:

Can you play this bingo on an app (casino?) or is this desktop only? And are you going to integrate it into the poker client later? As looks similar with the avatars etc.

Anticlimax incoming 🤣

And another month gone, they are flying past in this Covid19 era 🤣 Asked for the stats so will be waiting on that to come in to see my exact NL50 profit and my NL100 disaster although that will be a mega small sample. All in all July hasn't been the best month, hard to pinpoint how bad the variance was but I also don't feel like I've really played optimal at all times. My last 5 days of the month kinda skewed my results as I had 4 losing days losing almost 13 buyins :annoyed: Overal profit for the month is €550 and thats Unibet and RIO combined, profit on Unibet is about €300. Bit dissapointing but yesterday was the cut-off for the montly sample and it is what it is but poker didn't end yesterday so it is only a screenshot of a certain time frame. I'll sum up profit/loss per month since March: March +€46April -€47May +€670June +€739July +€549 Still going the right direction so that's ok, what I'll do for August is having a look into something to record my sessions so I could maybe review some hands later and I'm also gonna keep track of all my all-ins preflop with premium hands (AA/KK/QQ/AK) to see how I'm running. Bit trivial but can affect your winrate a bit if variance is against you. Playing on a site like Unibet where you can't track anything it's sometimes hard to judge your own play vs variance, is it variance or am I just playing bad? Who knows. But I remember losing with AKo vs K3o all in preflop 100bb deep yesterday so that's why Im gonna track it 🤣 Not many hands to share, got 2 here vs same regfish, villain masstables but very random plays, hands happened within minutes of each other, him stacking me twice :Dissatisfied:

@ReCorpH could I get my NL50 and NL100 results for the month of July please. Separate files if possible thanks.

Starts on Monday 🤣 I'll give it a go too, kinda wondering what 'concept' you are coming up with, I occasionally play on Tombola for big JP's or links etc but they'be been piling out the bingo formats lately as well, must be a decent milking cow. Mostly not a fan of any new ones as its mostly same game in a different suit or they've made the format faster than a normal bingo game so you end up spending more in a shorter period. And as others said on here, already play bingo whilst playing poker... ...everytime I get AA all in preflop 🤣

0.7 BB, left it a bit late 🤣

Just quick passing by, still grinding away but eventhough I've been off for the past 2 weeks I've not really put more volume in compared to last month lol, bit dissapointing I guess but I do have played more on RIO so that's maybe a reason. Haven't been running the best either lately with a few dissapointing sessions, both runbad and play bad from my part. Few more days to go for the month and then I'll request the stats again for July. Have finished the From The Ground Up course again on RIO so happy I got that done before going back to work this week. My work hours have been reduced from 37 to 32 meaning I only work 4 days, Mon-Thur, instead of 5 and normally I just work 5h on a Friday. Happy enough for it now as long as I don't end up losing the job in the long run of course but for now it gives me 3 weekend days where I can focus a bit more on poker. Played a session today, happy with how I played even with the few weird or bad spots I encountered. But hands like these make up for it: Villain is some kind of aggro regfish not sure but kept 3 betting me, called his flop cbet, turn got checked and then he shoved this and I overshoved for his remaining 66p and HE FOLDED :wow: and also insta disappeared from the table, ragequit? Hope I'm not getting flagged up for chip dumping 🤣 All the best of luck for the remainder of July everyone 👍

The mental game is something I understand and also experience in good and bad ways but it isn't something I have actually read up on or watched videos about. We all know poker has variance and the main thing you can do is accept that there will be good days and definitely there will be bad days. You kinda have to switch your emotions off when playing and keep thinking about making good decisions. Something I've noticed when watching training videos of pro's playing live (as in real time online) is that they barely blink when villains suck out etc. Play like a robot as they say lol. If you really struggle there are books and probably videos online about this subject if you want to improve your mental game. Your post shows very common mental game issues most people struggle with I guess. Chasing losses is known enough in the poker world (and gambling) but sometimes it's best to just quit and even take a day off or more. Thats what I sometimes do, if I don't feel like it I don't play and if I have been losing 'too much' I sometimes just take a day or 2 off playing poker just to kinda reset the mind. I still watch poker videos in the meantime to keep the poker brain going but keep away from playing myself as it would just add 'stress' and that's what I was trying to avoid. I remember like 10 years ago or w/e I was playing NL100 on stars like a fish I was back then and I won 10 buy-ins in one day and I felt amazing. Then I lost 10/12 buy-ins the next day so back with both my feet on the ground 🤣 hated the game haha

If you have to ask us if its possible then I have my doubts. If you set a goal for yourself it should be a realistic one and only you can know if it is or not. Good luck.

@Livertool same guy kicked us out the tourney @Uni-best Grrr 😞

Well played! Fish 🤣

Decided to give up on the rake race, had some connection issues with the RIO poker client on Thursday evening and didn't play much on Friday either so Im now in 4th and 60 points behind 3rd which would take me 4-6h depending on how many tables are going but thats also without 3rd one gaining points so not worth my time and effort for only €100 extra. I'll play some more to get the next pay jump in weekly rewards which is a personal rakeback thing and standing at €30 now but I just need a few more points to get €45 so I'll just play for that and thats it. Also not gained anything in the last week so bankroll on RIO has been a bit the same, battling regs is not worth it and yesterday I was down €50 after being up but then losing like 3-4 flips in a row. Played like an hour - hour and half on Unibet on my Ipad last night too, 2 to 4 tables at NL50 and was up €264, lots of recs playing! Shows you what a waste RIO is to me as even with the €50 loss on RIO I was up a decent amount for the day. Today will be a bit more theory as I also did yesterday and then more play as gf is at work all afternoon. Hope to get in some decent volume tonight. Good luck everyone and have a nice weekend.

Tickets will be credited on the day of the tournament so tomorrow (Saturday).

Going to start this topic of with a quote of @Andy-Unibet on 2+2: I just wonder what other people think of this who currently play on Unibet. Personally I'm not sure if I really like the idea of having full hand histories even if they are delayed and anonymous. Obviously the pitfall is that data can be input in any tracker / software and you end up with some kind of ability to track pool tendencies or possible work out how some people play if you maybe compare hand histories with previously recorded footage. I guess higher stakes / buy-ins might be more prone to this? Also remember some people barely ever or never change their alias so this would make em more vulnerable imo. But I also don't want to discard the whole idea of hand histories, at the moment there is a history tab in our poker client profile which is pretty useless. You can look up a limited amout of hands I think but you only get an annoying text format which you can't copy for obvious reasons. But you can't order all hands by date, nor pot size etc which should be working? but it doesn't so looking up a hand is pretty annoying. A hand replayer there would be nice too. One idea I like is where you could select lets say 10 - 20 (more?) hands per day whilst playing and you would get these send to you or they would be available in the hand history tab in a way you can copy them maybe? Having a hand replayer on this forum would be nice too but I know all these things need developed and can't just be done in a short pediod of time. The way of doing it now where I need to take a screenshot whilst playing if I want to share a hand is all pretty clumsy. A possibility of sharing Unibet Poker hands would also advertise the Poker business side of Unibet I guess.

Time for an update, been playing more on RIO than on Unibet because of a rakerace but not too sure if Im going to keep going for it. Top 3 gets paid (€500/€250/€100) and we have 4 people going for it me included. All the rest is far behind in points. First is a bit ahead of the rest so its a bit of a race for the 2nd and 3rd price and currently Im 4th after being 2nd etc. It requires a lot of playing for little return and the games are laggy as hell as the pool is so small we kinda just play against each other. Starting to doubt it is worth my time. Was hoping one would give up lol. Have played a bit on Unibet and bankroll is about €2200 now, steadily winning on RIO as well and doubled my bankroll since start of the month almost up €400 now and combined bankroll almost at 3k. Rakerace is quite daft and distracted me a bit of the theory side of poker I was meant to do but being off I thought I give it a shot. See what happens for next few days. Here a couple of random hands of 'rungood' on Unibet, we all like them right? 😏 Rio Hand: (not advertising RIO lol)

Just avoid slots, they are money eating machines!

Yeh I played under Jumanjihihi but will be changing that one now 🤣

Get the freerolls going lol

Funny playing these double trouble tourneys as saw a few regs who also play NL50 tables so good to know they are losing money 🤣 And binked both of them lol +€440, just about got there for the super double trouble but in the money is in the money! Was down a bit at cashgames again today :dissatisfied: but now bankroll is sitting just under €2000 again, woop.
