Just an update from this week, not too much has happened. Seen about 400 flops on Unibet so not the most volume but something I didn't mention is I also play on Run It Once (RIO) from time to time and played a few sessions there start of the week when there was enough traffic going. Much harder than Unibet for sure with no table selection at all if there are already tables running to start with. I've got €130 rakeback to grind out and not sure if I'd stay playing there or not. Initially went up €300 playing 4nl and then 20nl (10nl does not run at all) and hit a big downswing leaving me with just €100 at some point but got it back up to just under €300 now. Very swingy, games are tougher but I see it as an opportunity to improve my game. Not sure what I did right in the first place building up my bankroll there and wrong to destroy it lol. Some bad play / tilt for sure along the road, which doesn't happen a lot to me anymore compared to years ago.

Run It Once is also the place I watch training videos and love the content so far, some decent teachers there for people like me who are starting from the micro stakes.
I have watched From The Ground Up (Peter Clarke) when I started again this year and I'll be revisiting it again but this time I'll be taking notes so I don't have to re-visit again in the near future. I've also watched all of Iain Salter's videos and they are gold as well, and again I will need to re-watch these and take notes of things to remember. 

I'll be off for 2 weeks in 2 weeks time and will be going through some more learning then. Also the start of the 3rd quarter on Unibet so I will be able to start that at 50nl this time round and hopefully get a bit further into the rewards for some bigger returns.

Bankroll sitting at €1750,  played a bit of the new Hexapro Banzai this week with the promo running but obviously no luck, it's all about winning the biggies which I haven't 😛

Plan for the weekend: watching a few vids and getting in some volume. 194k reward points atm, not sure I can make it to 250k before end of the month but will see.

Thanks guys 😃

Didn't manage to get back on the pc sadly enough for another session but played 9x €5 hexapros bought with my bonus points. Only €30 return, 2x €7,5 and a €15.

Not getting much luck with these €5 hexapros.  I had a dabble before in them and played 165x €2, winning 67 and making €72 profit. Then I switched to €5 ones and so far played 95 of them, winning only 23 and down €190. Not hitting big multipliers either. Won the 10x multiplier 3 times on €2 but have yet to win one on the €5 and maybe only seen it 2 or 3 times. Damn variance :waterfall:

€44 up today, bricked the £25 buy-in bounty tourney so no gain there. So being end of the week, that's me up €370. I'm happy with any positive number

No clue what to call this thread so there you go 😛

I'm a 35y old Belgian guy living in the North East of Scotland after moving in with the gf in 2013.

Background: started playing poker in 2010 and never really been a winning player, more like a break even slight winner. I'm a guy who can play forever with a bankroll and not win nor lose anything 🤣 think I started out with some donkaments on PokerStars but then changed to cash games as that suits better with a full time job. Eventually found Unibet and loved the anonymity and the ability to play without software.

Always had a full time job as a CNC Machinist so definitely never relied on poker as an income, no chance either as explained above lol. I started playing again start of this year after some years off (since 2016 maybe?) and taking it a bit more serious this time. Deposited £100 I think to start at 4nl and had to add another £50 bit later as bankroll had a skydive and I wanted to stay at 10nl at that time, again I think as can't check deposit history anymore.

I ended up down in March, then doubled my bankroll in April and been going strong since then, working my way up to 50nl atm. 25nl was where the real struggle started to become better as regs become a bit tougher. Been playing 50nl since end of last month so feel really comfy playing at this level now and bankroll sits at $1780, had a good day yesterday with $250 up after playing 5-6h maybe. And that's probably the biggest 'problem' , getting enough volume in. Not always easy when you have a fulltime job and a dog, cooking, watching tele, gf etc. Even during this Covid19 crisis I've not been off work at all beside a week of holiday where I managed to make about €100 a day at 25nl.

My goal: well I don't really have a goal, just becoming a winning/stronger player and if I can beat 100nl easily (this year?) I would find that a pretty decent achievement. I used to play 100nl on PokerStars (don't ask me how I got there) so doing that again maybe this year but better and proper bankroll management then this would be great.

To end I'll give you some stats from my cashgames from this year up to end of May, hope the calculations are right 😀 and just ignore 50nl as small sample size. I'll get some proper number after this month as only played 50nl.

NL04 hands played: 10167 won: €113.45 => 27.9 bb/100
NL10 hands played: 10002 won: €86.75 => 8.67 bb/100
NL25 hands played: 45130 won: €858.27 => 7.6 bb/100
NL50 hands played: 1305 won: €101.34 => 15.5 bb/100

For the rest, won't be daily updates as don't play that much but I'll try to do at least one a week. Also be looking for some kind of (free) hand replayer as Unibet obviously doesn't make it able to share hands that easy and that way I could maybe share a few hands here.

End of the month is also the end of the quarter before the challenge points reset and I'll try to get to 250k, I just passed 175k now giving me some extra bonus points which I'll use to buy €5 hexapro tickets and hope to add some €€ to my bankroll.

I sometimes do play a tournament here and there too, mostly bounty ones but my MTT strategy knowledge is very limited so if I ever win one it's by lots of luck lol. And actually all these buy-ins do bite a bit in my bankroll too over time so I try to limit it. I do like to play the €5000 Ice Giant Bounty every Sunday for lolz and I'm already happy to get my buy-in back haha.

Thanks for reading the long intro and good luck at the tables (except against me :Cheeky:)

Won something worth winning with my free 10 spins 😀 megawin lol

Hello, could I get my cash game results from the start of this year till end of May and per stake please. Thank you.

Where can you see your own rank in the Daily HexaPro race or isn't this possible if you aren't in the top 30?

Cheers, I just play cash games normally but like to dabble in hexapros now and then as it's easy to play on a phone before bed or at work  

Was just looking how beatable these are and yeh I know swings can be mental. Played like 165 €2 hexapros and made €72 profit and though I give the €5 ones a go and won 1 out of 20  

I'll def have a look at that twitch channel later on

Kinda wondering if there are some people out there who play these hexapro's as their main game / high volume? Can't find much in the blogs section? Just interested to see how some people are doing in these games
