@Merenitsu I hate it when others are on a massive heater. I often see some regs at my cash tables and they double up and then triple up in no time and I look at the hands they played and they just hit the best hand over and over in a short time whilst I'm just folding my way to crap hands 🤣 Hard to deal with at times as all you can do is just let it pass by and wait for your moment and just keep playing solid. But I would be raging if I lost 4/4 big multipliers 😀

Just saw your post in the Hexapro topic, 4/4 loss of big multipliers :wow: so harsh! How many hexapro's do you play a day? Or per session? Wish you better luck soon, variance is a b*tch.

Bottommed out at €1350 but back up to €1500, bloody Mondays 😞 Lost 1k in 2 days :wow: No worries I'll get it back tomorrow 🤣 Good night!

Monday madness! Had another session at NL100 but seems I've won too much lately and Unibet switched on the doomswitch, can not flop a thing, nor win a flip and what not, lost a few buy-ins again and now back at NL50, even there I lost like 4 buy-ins and bankroll sitting at €1400 which is pretty absurd. Had a break even stretch last month lasting a week but not experienced a downswing like this for ages, excellent timing Unibet 😠 New plan will be grind NL50 till €3000 then give NL100 a shot again. Finished the July Mission Part 4 today giving me 20 free slot spins, won exactly €0.00 from 20 spins, sums up my day!

Good luck @Eeezee Do you do any studying at all or just grind?

At least you don't have to do much to get that suited omaha mission done, depending on what stake you play you can just join PLO4 and keep folding hands till you get it done. I'm trying to finish in the money in a tournament and as a cashplayer I think it's harder than getting a suited hand in PLO on a cash table.

Let's do a recap of the weekend, been watching some training videos although still have to start that From The Ground Up course which I will as of today. Poker been going ok, hit a high of €2545 on Saturday and had a feel at NL100 just to see what betsizes people use and how the pool plays compared to NL50. Started on NL50 but lost about a buy-in, nothing special but then played NL100 on Sunday night which was pretty rocky, feel like the regs are much nittier and my play has to be more on point and also less random players than at NL50 as well. Was down 3 buy-ins, got most of it back and then ended up with some bad flips and called it a day lol. Bankroll now sitting at €2105. Quiet a bit of regs who play both NL50 and NL100 and overall I don't find NL50 amazingly hard so still trying to find my feet a bit at NL100. Probably will be playing bit of both stakes from now on depending on how many tables are running and be a bit more selective for NL100. And revert back to NL50 only if the bankroll takes too much of a hit. That's the plan!

Well that's me on holiday for the next 2 weeks, had a lazy day today so never fired up a table but watched a poker video and will watch another one before bed. That will be the focus for the next few days, starting with From The Ground Up course on RIO, watched it before but will do again and take notes this time to sharpen up my current game. So far so good this month, played poker on 7 days and only lost on one of those days with only €11 down 😛 Running pretty good and Im up €670 on Unibet for this month and hope to keep this trend going but guess variance will hit back at some point but not gonna worry about that for now lol. Played a bit on RIO but games are just too mad there, low traffic and lots of shorthanded play and probably 10x more aggro than Unibet. Can't find my way in those games, not sure if it's variance or my game just doesn't work for the aggro games. My small bankroll there is pretty much stagnant atm, bit of a headscratcher. Maybe the studying will improve my game on there but Unibet will be the main focus anyhow, not sure when I'm taking a shot at NL100. Bit of a mental barrier maybe as not sure how the games are or how good the regs are compared to NL50. Probably isn't that big of a difference as long as there are enough weaker players but moving up always requires a small period to adapt I find. Maybe try and reach €3000 first and then give it a shot. Or maybe try it tomorrow night, weekend evenings are mostly a bit softer so we will see.

Those hand histories are so hard to read, also hard to know position or pot size etc. Hand 1 is what it is. Hand 2 mostly a fold. Hand 3 is a fold when you get raised on the flop, even to a min raise, it's an exploitable fold but it's 4NL and you don't really have any decent outs. But depends on what you think villain is doing, I look for better spots as if villain raises mostly value hands then we have a crap hand with ace high and a poor runner runner straight draw. Min raises are often a good to strong hand unless villain is just clicking buttons. I just completed the 300 flops and had €5,14 on the ticket at the end, went over €20 at some point then ran into aces a few times and was down to €1.35 before getting back to €5,14 I just don't have the patience anymore playing on NL4 as lots of passive play going on and all you really have to do is wait for good hands and no real need to make many bluffs and that will already make you a winning player as there are enough very weak players about.

AJo < A8o Re-entry QQ < TT Rubbish tournament 😀

@RogueWitch 33 flops seen and I've had it completed.

Never seen so many 4 board flushes in my life! And I'm always on the wrong side as well, fix it Unibet! 😏

Forgot to post a nice hand, I just joined the table and this is the 2nd hand I was dealt. Button openshoved so happy days, 3-way pot and a small sweat but we got there, 2 free buy-ins thank you very much 🆒 Guess some history between button and big blind. Say again online poker is dead 😛

Sometimes I just take it as a small challenge, see how far i can get the ticket up to, got it up to €20 but then ran into aces 3 times and now I've got about €5 left, think I'll just donk it away, give it back to the Unibet community

Haha, I'm the same, not like I look forward to it but I try and complete as much as possible for the few rewards, and tbh, think it's more of a waste of my time 🤣 Here I am trying to get this NL4 ticket run up whilst watching F1 🤣

And the numbers are in! @ReCorpH 😏 😉 25214 hands played and €626.95 profit aka 4.97 bb/100 guess I'll take that thanks! Got €50 less profit on the actual Unibet bankroll so I've lost €50 on tournaments and hexapro's etc, not bad I'd say as I'm not a 'specialist' at anything else than cash games. Played the Ice Giant Bounty again today and the 2 Mission tourney's, bricked em all. I really need some tourney basic strategy and I might buy the From The Ground Up MTT version on RIO for when I'm off in holiday in a week. I loved the cash version of this course and I'm sure the MTT version will be excellent for someone like me. Not done too much learning lately and put in bit more volume instead. Another week of work then off for 2 weeks and will see to get stuck in and appoint some proper time to RIO training site etc. Current bankroll €2136 that's €336 up for the month already, played around 4500 hands probably (based on flops seen) so think I'm running a bit hot so far, on Unibet anyway, RIO not so much. Also facing redundancies at work (pretty sure I'm safe for now) so at least with these poker profits I'll still be able to buy bread every day 🤣

😏

Pretty impressive, not sure why we were discussing the difference between NL10 & NL25 for? 🤣 What stakes of cash games do you normally play btw? Or what is highest you have ever played?

@highonketa Missions are probably geared to the new poker players as it will get you doing different things and try out new games etc. I guess thats the main aim.

Hexapro's are mental variance :wow: I stopped playing them as was draining my bankroll, I ended up crying every time I lost a big multiplier 🤣

Still waiting on the June results but I'm up anyway. Unibet bankroll end of June was €1800. Bit of a break even ish stretch in the last week but made €577 profit for the month. Made €162 profit on RIO playing some NL20 so total I'm up €739. Had a better month in May on Unibet but not if I include RIO. All in all, it doesn't matter, I'm up and happy with that. It's also hard to judge if it's variance or bad play or something else on Unibet as you can't track much. I do know I played a wee bit too laggy or without enough discipline against some weaker players where I tried to force too much and not happy with that. Prob staying on NL50 for a while, not sure when I might give NL100 a shot, I just want to improve some things at my game first before moving up. This is more important for myself as I'm sure I could give NL100 a shot now but I rather keep the bankroll growing as it is and don't want to end up with losing a few buyins at NL100 making me feel miserable lol. Eventhough it isn't really about the money but it would tilt me 😀 Had a small session today, 62 flops seen, up €160 😃 bankroll €1960 ran hot today, probably going to be a crap weekend haha, variance😏 *** forgot to note that I will only know my real profits of last months NL50 when I get the stats as some money gets donked away in hexapro's and some tourney's :haha:***

Seems to be going well, what is your idea of the MTT playerpool on Unibet, is it softer than other sites you played on? For the few I've played (low buyins) I've seen a lot of random plays I must say. And although I don't know much tournament strategy I know what a bad play is when I see one 🤣 I don't really get what you are trying to say here, it's more profitable to play at NL4 instead of NL10 so you want to skip NL10 and go straight to NL25? I never had much bother with NL10, it's not as 'fishy' as NL4 but just avoid the few regs on NL10 and you will be fine. For me NL25 was where it started to be a bit thougher, some more semi decent regs there that can annoy you lol. I've always been a bit of a passive player so it was hard to learn to get around the aggro regs and that's probably one reason I've struggled climbing up succesfully. But once you have a plan and know how to deal with them it's not as bad as you think. So moving from NL4 to NL25 is weird in my opinion as the jump from NL4 to NL10 is marginal compared to the jump from NL10 to NL25. Of course this all depends on skill levels etc.

Going well! Just try not to put text in a <insert code> as it is hard to read. And .......................................................................................................................................... annoying 😏

Whatever the outcome, at least the music is great 😀 good luck!

ReCorpH said last Saturday it might take another week or longer for him to send results out again so not sure if anyone else is doing it? Not been that long on this forum so no idea. Not received anything either.
