I've been keeping my winrate low artificially so I can receive maximum rakeback / offers, I'm a genius I know ☺️

I assume it will be an option but I'll ask anyway, hope the bi-weekly bonuses will have a manual cancelation button by then?

Did another request and received files without needing a password, I just opened a champagne bottle to celebrate 🍾🎇

@KrustyTheClownHere we are, I waited till the start of March to request my stats again for both months and they have come through, and no (more) password this time! 🥰 😂

So 'made' €932 in January and €429 in February, these numbers are actual profit/loss on the tables + bonus money etc etc, also place a few sports bets here and there just for a punt, no big amounts - €10 here and there - but can affect the number but I don't keep track of it. Mostly lose money on bets 😅

From stats:
January: €264.52 profit over 36,631 hands = 1.44 bb/100
February: €333.56 profit over 17,785 hands = 3.75 bb/100

There is a discrepancy in January where I counted January the 1st towards December as that was the end of the week, that day I lost €445 lol, can't even remember but I know that's when I won the leaderboard. If I were to ignore that day I would have ran at 5+ bb/100 for January haha but that's all whatever anyway.

Checking the last 4 months where I played 50NL only, I ran at +0.56 bb/100 over 140k hands, I'm a winning poker player 😂

So far I have flirted twice with the 5k mark, coming 2 buy ins away (twice!) just to get destroyed again after. I mostly check my losing hands the day after or few days later and I must say there aren't many hands where I think I made a big mistake as far as my knowledge goes. This makes me actually wonder if a 10 bb/100 profit is realistic over the long run. Maybe playing nittier would work but it's not something that interests me a lot to just sit and wait on premium hands all day as you don't learn much post flop play that way and I wouldn't enjoy it either.

So far this month I've only played about 5k hands, not much motivation and I'm not too sure why lol. Just a few hands away from having played 600k hands 😲 Should get a few in this weekend.

Still got some issues with my internet, still no idea what the problem is, did a whole pc reset and still same, starting to think I need to replace the router or something.

Also starting a new job in a weeks time so I won't be doing any commuting by car anymore but just walk or cycle. Will be 12h day and night shifts with enough days off in between but no idea how it will impact poker as a whole, time will tell. 

Still working my way through the €500 playthrough bonus I received from loyalty lvl 6 - 1st step and I've almost cleared 4/5. Then still have a €20 playthough, a RAKE 600 GET 120 which I prob won't do and a €50 playthrough after.  40,595 Bonus Points in the bank.

@Andy-Unibet 

Problem is it often misses the stake column so how do I guess which result is which stake? 

Also saying you can contact live chat then telling you to do otherwise when you do contact live chat is just 🤯

Seems over the top just for some results whilst I’m using my actual email account or my actual phone and provide other sensitive info not many people can know.

PC / internet connection worked fine for about 2 days and now it's back to this weird issue with not connecting some sites etc etc, don't really get what's going on. Sometimes it works when I clear cache and cookies, then next time it doesn't. It's mostly hotmail and Unibet for some random reason. Have re installed google chrome (although same issue on Microsoft Edge) but then forgot to save my bookmarks so lost all of them as well lol. Starting to piss me off.

Also changing job soon hopefully, had an interview last week just waiting to hear back, hopefully before end of this month. Will affect the amount I can play poker but that's to be seen.

Haven't played a massive volume so far this month, almost 14k hands now, good result so far nonetheless. Games have been pretty good at 50NL I must admit and it's good to run good too. Almost forgotten the terrible run from last year.

Guess we won't see any hard stats anymore as really cba with this new stats request BS. 👎

I contacted live chat, had to give name postcode etc etc then got told to phone them up lol

3 words Unibet, GET TAE FECK

Terrible this, going through all this and prob end up with opening a file I didn't want in the first place. I've asked numeral times to get my 50NL stats file for the month of January and all they send me is a file called all.cashgame. I probably didn't play any other stake but they should just filter it with 50NL only to start with like they used to do.

You can do a check but don't take the piss, sent up my ID, then gave all my info and still have to phone up, I'm not arsed phoning just to get some crap stats.

Check out this topic for the RAKE X, GET Y bonuses, you can ask there to get it removed if you want to, changing or deleting the expiration date is not an option. 

https://www.unibetcommunity.com/forums/topic/31188-rake-x-get-y-bonuses/#comments

A personal option to delete the bonus is in the pipeline so that would solve your issue.

Your 5% bonus does make it feel like it's not worth the effort but there are better % ones out there, I personally have a 20% one lined up. It all depends on several (secret) factors like stake / volume and winning / losing and what not.

@SolarisIf you don't have any bonuses active then the RAKE, GET will become active straight away at the time it got assigned to your account, presumably on a Monday and will then expire in 2 weeks time on the Monday and the time it was assigned to your account. That's my understanding of it anyway.

If you have another bonus already active and the RAKE, GET joins the queue of bonuses it will only start when you have cleared all the other ones in front of it. This way you can also "manipulate" the starting time of your RAKE, GET to a more suitable time as these bonuses can require a lot of volume.

The countdown will show days and eventually hours closer to the end date. If you know what time you started a RAKE, GET bonus it can be handy to write down the time as it will expire at the exact same time 2 weeks later.

For real bro... 🙄🙄🙄

I feel for you, all the missed value with AA, what if he had a 4? lol

2nd AA, why aren't you full stacked? And if you never limp and then limp raise and SB is a reg it's pointless, I've come across it and I just insta fold whilst mumbling *smartass* and only value you got is the few blinds. It's so obvious it's not even worth doing unless the whole table is full of aggro mugs.

And ouch, posting all these pictures, those are a lot of screenshots 😂

Received the same email about ID, I guess (and hope) this is a one off to confirm the validaty of our email address?

I use a nickname to log in on my Unibet account and not sure if that's because I'm an older customer? And new customers might have to log in using an email address so that would validate that email straight away if they have provided ID for withrawals etc? Just a guess...

Funny, just moaned about it again in my blog, have similar experiences with it. Never used live chat but always send an email to info-uk@unibetsupport.com as that's where I received my initial reports from. I don't expect an instant reply and a couple of days will do but it happens that it takes close to a week or longer.

And as said above, I get wrong reports, all the reports (Cash, SnG, MTT, ...), ZIP files with a file that's unopable etc... and I always ask clearly what I need, Cash Game Report of the one stake I play and for the one month most of the time. I always put Poker Cash Game Results as topic of my email so it's clear what department it has to go to (if it works that way?) so yeh, same frustrations as others in here.

Some reports I get also never mention the stake on it in a column so yeh, starting to wonder how accurate some of these reports are?

It gets more interesting when you are 200BB+ deep and maybe on 4NL it doesn't really matter too much but once you go higher up and a nitreg 5b you big with 200BB deep it's probably AA 😂 

The deeper you are the more postflop I would play anyway so facing an all in that deep whilst I have KK would probably push me vs a fold all depending on villain though. You need to keep an eye on how people play and the reg pool in general is still very nitty and passive overall.

Have played a while at 50NL now and I see a lot of QQ flats pre lol. Maybe they think Im a bloody nit too who knows! 🤣

Will be doing another update soon, just haven't come around to it yet. Partially because I've been waiting for my stats from Unibet, received it twice now but first time they sent me cash/sng/mtt etc and said all cash so not sure if it was accurate so requested it again. Then they sent me a ZIP file but once unzipped I couldn't open the file lol.

Sometimes I wonder how hard it is to send a bloody file, poker has been a part of Unibet for a long time now and yet it's a hit or miss to get a proper file from support.

Anyway, last month I was up €930 ish with €300 being from rewards and for the rest I can't remember. I think I started counting from the 2nd of January so my actual stats might be different once I get them. I remember it said something like €250 up for last month which I couldn't understand. Maybe the leaderboard reward of last month had something to do with it. 

Also had some probs with my pc/router connection, wasn't letting me access certain sites like hotmail and unibet lol. Took a long time to figure out what was happening but eventually found what was wrong. I had connection issues with the poker client before where graphics wouldn't display properly and that's fixed too now.

Only played 6k hands this month so not the best volume but running well so far. I know I'm going to jinx myself but going to say it anyway, might hit 5k bankroll this month 🙊 😂

Never folding KK 100bb deep ever! I rather see the AA and cry than fold KK 😆

And you should change tables if you don't like em, there are enough tables going the lower the stake you play so no excuse. I even leave tables with tight passive fish on it as even vs those it can be hard to win a decent pot. Why stay on a table with nits if you could be playing 1 or 2 maniacs on another table.

First time ever I've hit 4k in my account, hmm 100NL soon? 🤔

I'm interested to see how many people achieved the 1 million hands, can't be many as there are only 573 people who passed the 250k mark.

I don't like running bad.

And I don't like running good either.

Because I know running bad comes after it.

In your opinion, the difference in player skill is greater between NL4-NL10 or NL10-NL25

I'd say it's a bigger jump from NL10 to NL25 as you find some decent regs at NL25 and less so at NL10.

Another factor is the pool gets smaller the higher up you go and NL4 is basically a donkfest, NL10 is a donkfest but with some (bad) regs, then at NL25 there are more semi decent regs etc. The bigger the pool the better as you get a better rec (fish) vs reg ratio.

GTO Wizard for beating NL10 is just absurd, just keep it to the basics to beat the game should be good enough, doesn't hurt to look up some spots but all you need is to know opening ranges from every position and just value bet when you have it, fold when you don't, in a nutshell that is.

So no I haven't quit (yet) and have been playing all along really and was going to make a post start of the year but then had to wait about a week on my stats for December so here we are.

Played around 65k hands in December and lost €570 so ran at -1.77bb/100

Weirdly enough I made about €480 profit for December lol, I just keep track of the amount I start with each month and I think I included January the 1st in it as that was the end of the week lol, another reason was because I battled it out for the leaderboard that last week and came 1st for €600 so yeh, happy to scoop that one up.

I just started playing start of my holiday and decided to go for the €500 playthrough bonus at loyalty lvl 6 and saw I had a good chance for the leaderboard, hit 2 straight flushes one day early in the week so then decided to give that a shot as well, pretty tough I must say, worst is actually cramp in my hand/wrist from all those hours and have recently bought a vertical mouse, seems better although I might prefer a smaller size in mouse. Hard to know when you buy shit online.

So now its January, working my way through the €500 bonus and almost cleared the first payout. Play/luck seems a bit better recently and kinda hope to make a normal profit for once. Trying to tighten up some spots vs regs, I would actually love to see some people stats as I think there are some real tight arse nit regs out there and it is sometimes hard to keep track of it without a HUD and for me personally I think I end up in big pots too many times where they practically don't have any bluffs but I always think, oh they can have this or that bluff and call it off but they just keep showing the supernuts. 

Not sure what the plan is for next couple of months or the year, see to clear this playthrough to start with and how the month goes imo. But overall looking back on last year I ran pretty bad I must say, obviously I don't have hard data but there were some harsh periods for sure.

Even last week of December, one day I lost 10 buy ins and lost 5 to one reg alone, KK vs AA, AK vs AA (BvB), 2 times he hit a set on the flop when I have an OP both in 3b pots and one pot where he called a 4b IP with a suited gapper, flops 2nd pair and BDFD, turns 2p and has my OP dead again... days like that are just... meh!

And I know I like to rant and moan about how bad I run bla bla but I'll end with a positive note, I think last March I took off my entire bankroll, €1800 or something to start fresh with 2x 25NL tickets and cleared those and then had some shots with 50NL tickets and sure I got them from Bonus Points and also cleared some playthrough bonuses on the way but I ended the year with €3,300+ which in itself is maybe not all actual poker profit but in the end it doesn't matter as I got it by playing poker and that's €3.300 I did not have before so 🥳

And now I'm playing 50NL as standard and feel comfortable at the stake without going bust and that's already an achievement in itself. 

Surely the goal should be to move up if you can beat the stake?

Also wonder, do you use a special mouse for this as when I put in a lot of volume a sore wrist is a real nuisance and I can't imagine grinding long hours day after day.

Wish you good luck anyhow!

@CuteRaven TBH, my RAKE, GET bonuses have been decent enough, shows you how much they love me 😂

It's true about the amount of tables, I have sinned quite a bit with it when I was playing 25NL but I have toned it down since I started at 50NL, mostly keep it with 4 tables which is a good balance for me.
