Will post a bit more tomorrow or so and react to some posts, playthrough at 40% so need to give it some whip this weekend, ends Wednesday I think. Bankrolls back on the mend, trying to stay focused and ignore all the hands I lose or go tits up 😂 Yesterday I played an hour, all good, up 1.5 buy ins ish, closing all my tables, last table, last hand I get KK... nice, open, 80BB stack 3b me, ok I 4b and both stacks go in the middle... AA 😏 😂

Nice to see I've inspired someone to write a post 😆 this game can be brutal at times and I'm sure there are high stakes pros who wouldn't be able to beat these micro stakes 😂 AQo hand, seems like a big iso pre vs minraise. Donk can be anything depending on villains tendencies, hate it when I miss and rec villain is sticky. Raise seems fine but not if he never folds, think I would just call having Qs and see what happens on turn. After turn x I just want to see it get x down on river, vs overbet jam... think fold is standard unless you have a read villain is crazy. Having Qs is not ideal now as you block some flush combos. Think I rather wait for a better spot, you will have better hands here anyway. Q4o hand seems fine, not loving the spot but if you are going to fold bottom boat then we are probably overfolding especially vs recs as they can spaz with anything at times. Think it's an easy fold vs nit regs though lol.

“Just lost 10 buy ins at poker” Pop up: ”Do you enjoy playing at Unibet? Cheeky #@&! asking me that 🤣 1 star 😂

They need to start adding more space on the bonus page as you can only see the 3 next ones so can't even see this one yet lol. Working through the €45 one and at 30% with 8 days to go. Have received my stats for the year eventually after sending a reminder email and: Played 65k hands at 50NL for -5.4bb/100 🥶 (can't even remember me playing so many hands at 50NL this year) Played 104k hands at 25NL at 4.66bb/100 😕 Just finished July and almost 20 buy-ins down for the month, played 27k hands and gained almost 5k Bonus Points (44,250 BP atm), dropped like 10 buy ins on Saturday 🙄 Not really been plain sailing this year, have a suspicion I'm over complicating things tbh along with some proper run bad in the mix. Have wasted a few stacks here and there out of frustration though which doesn't help. I can do this, I just know as I got it inside of me, I just need to find it again 😅 I take some consolation in the fact that some poker players who stream, struggle too in building a bankroll so in that way I don't feel too bad, if the "pro's" can't even do it in the short term... 😂

So didn't make the RAKE, GET bonus which expired today as was only at 50% on Sunday so just ignored it. Only played a few short sessions keeping my head straight and just getting on with it. I will try to get the next RAKE, GET completed as my volume is pretty shocking lol. Funny enough they keep giving me more RAKE, GET bonuses, I'm actually not sure if they just stack up week after week 😂 The current one is slightly big so will need some decent volume but as you can see the 2 last ones should be easy enough to clear once I get there. Have requested all my cash stats for the year but have yet to hear back after a couple of days, bit of a hit or a miss when you contact Unibet support, sometimes you get an email back within hours, next time it could be up to a week. But maybe I wish I never asked the stats once I see them 😅

Been a while, haven't played that much with the warm weather and I haven't got much motivation as I just can't win anymore lately. Bankroll 888 now at $700 and just above €1,700 on Unibet. Can't remember a day I've won more than 1 buy in tbh. 17 buy ins down on Unibet so far this month... don't think I'll be playing poker for much longer as I've put so many hours in this and I just don't get anything out of it. Not worth my time. Haven't played for a few days and played a bit today 2-4h or something, ended the day somewhat break even and only had 1all in preflop, I 3b and he 4b to 33BB (tell?)... bit silly calling that big of a 4b so jam is only way imo. And then this hand and I quit after this, 3b get 4b... bit deeper so guess we call most of the time, villain has barely played any hands... funny how I again get 4b to 33BB... And then he insta jams flop, like no thought whatsoever... this is just like wtf am I meant to do with KK no d... don't beat AA, QQ, TT... could have KK with a d, AKdd but these spots are so stupid... And ofc he has AA even with the Ad... So far this month I've ran in to AA 17x and had only my own AA all in pre 8x... And they keep giving me playthrough bonuses lol, currently on 42% on a RAKE 300, GET 30 bonus and 4 days left on it. See how it goes tomorrow, if it starts with losing again then I don't think I'll be pushing to clear it tbh. I don't really understand what is happening, trying to play my game with following my gameplan and for whatever reason I always end up losing, I always seem to get the 2nd best hand over and over... but yeh, as I said prob won't play much longer if there isn't any change soon.

@AbvUrPlayGrd You can only look up hands if you were sitting at the table and got dealt hole cards I think. I guess it's a 'safety' measure so you can't datamine every hand played on Unibet.

Unibet was just setting up a party because a crusher left so now they have to take the bunting down they've just put up an hour ago 🤣

Just got contacted by the Guinness Book of World Records for the amount of times I’ve run KK into AA this year 🤣 🥲

888 Bankroll down to $635, becoming a joke really. This variance bullshit is taking the piss again. Open QJ and get CALLED by BB, bet flop, overbet the turn then get jammed for w/e was left... joke. Get 3b by BB, call, flop a set, not the best on monotone board but still strong, guy went like bet jam instantly, he's one of those weird ones on 888, never even thought about betting the flop just instantly, and instant jam on turn... smells dodgy. And again I hit a set and they hit a better one, no point in me folding as they can have AK with one heart etc etc... Typical 888 runouts, they call sb and then donk, I raise and sure they always hit whatever on turn or river. Just an example but happens all the time. UTG rec opens, I 3b, get 4b, all in... fuck not again, great flop finally!, what fu turn, wth river... BS CO limps and I iso to 5bb, BB calls and so does CO, think CO donked small or w/e and I raised, BB re-raised so I just stuck it in and he snap called... again BS Can't remember exact sequence of this hand, prob I open raised and 2 callers then cb and BTN call and SB rec jammed so easy jam, stacks are short as well so not much to do then get it in with TPTK... never ending this piss... Big nit 3b me from BB so I actually know exact what hand he has AA or KK lol, calling to get a decent flop, hit 2p and he x/r me on the flop, decided to call to avoid a 4 flush card and then jam as that gives less equity for him on the turn. Think he jammed himself so easy call, he had exact what I thought and basically a flip on the flop, slightly ahead on the turn but hey ho... what did you think eh? Seems Unibet is going the same way again too... 3b AA, get 4b, call, call it off post flop and of course he has KK... BTN limps, SB minraises lol? I make it 9BB both call, cb 1/3 as BTN is short and he just jams, SB folds easy call.... yep same bs... KK vs AA... ofc! Again! Open QJ and rec calls in SB, bet big on flop, overbet turn and big bet on river... f me... and he just called. Splashy CO rec opens and rec in BB as well, so call 56s, x/r flop big, bet turn, worst riv... x/f... Again pot with 2 recs, MP min opens, I 3b, BTN and MP call, 1/2 cb flop, both call, bet turn again and BTN jams and MP calls lol, I folded... These weird hands, I open QQ, BTN calls, SB squeezes, I 4b and both call... K on the flop sure... flop goes x/x/x and turn J SB bets 1/2... I fold BTN calls, SB bets 40BB in to 160BB then folds to a BTN jam and he only had 40BB left lol... 2 all ins with AK on Unibet, one vs AK other vs KK and lost it... 2 all ins I remember from today on 888, KK vs AA x2 and lost both... Still waiting on a bloody heater that lasts longer than a day tbh...

Don't have access to a solver atm and don't really have time for it anyway just now but I'll probably give GTO Wizard a go next time I pay for a sub. This video is just the last one that came out on their YouTube channel and just a good reminder of some basics. Haven't had a good look at all their vids but seems like they have a few good ones on there.

Been a while since last update, trying to get some volume in but weather has been amazing here, especially last few days, kinda needing some rain tbh, pretty dry year again here at the NE coast of Scotland. Lots of people loving the nice weather but I find it quite worrying knowing climate change has a big part to play in this 😕 Poker, almost got through the €50 playthrough and then on to the RAKE, GET bonuses next. Bankroll dropped to €1.8k ish but back at €2k again just today. Bit on the fence with 50NL atm, think I'm going to keep going at 25NL till 2.5k at least and then mix 25/50NL with 2k as the bottom limit for 50NL. 888 poker, bankroll just above €800, have nothing good to say about that crap site lol. I just can't manage to run any decent on 25NL SNAP. For one I get a lot of ridiculous run outs after flopping what is pretty much the nuts which then turns in to a pile of poo lol. And I'm getting destroyed in 3b/4b pots like there is no end to it. And regs are so bloody nitty its insane, if I keep running like this I probably take my money off soon. 888 zero points from me 👎

Sometimes I play some 888 SNAP (ZOOM) during my lunch break for about 10-20min... as I did today... Lost with AA in a 3b pot vs a flopped set to start with... then won some small pots here and there... till these 2 hands happened within 4 hands of each other. UTG limps, I make it 5x he calls, I bet flop 1/2 and he raises, I re-raise and all goes in on the flop, and we win the flip. Again limp and I raise 4x and he re-raises 4x so easy call, flop the nuts and flop goes x/x, then he x turn again so time to start betting, bet 1/3 and he raises me again, call again as I'm IP anyway. Then he bets 1BB on the riv... wtf is that even so I shove which is only play here... bloody KK feck me... €124 pot 🙄 888 all over, no movement on the bankroll what so ever... haven't won 2 hands in a row for a while now 😅

Went limp call, I bet flop and turn and then he donked the river lol, he’s an aggro fish so all weird lines and big bets etc had like AK 10x vs him where I raised his non limps but I got like the worst flops 9x out of 10 where I had to x/f. But when he donked I’m like well it’s like he has Jx that’s now a boat as how can you have quads and not raised the turn. So I raised and he jammed so can’t really fold KK here imo, what if he showed up with Jx that would be a crazy fold, wp I guess.

When you play 1.5 hours and are just wrapping up the session and all the profit gets wiped out by a daft hand... what a run out djeez, nice one Unibet!

@GR1ZZL3RWatched a bit of it but not feeling any better 🤣 Keep on getting bonuses lol, that will keep me busy for another month and half 😂

You can always ask them to cancel the bonus if you don’t think you’ll make it so that way you can get on with the next bonus straight away.

@Rushbie So you are always? calling a 4b with AK then and fold if you miss blind vs blind? Don't understand the 72o line sorry. AK is still a premium hand in my books. Maybe your post actually proves my point that people are just nitty as hell nowadays and I should take my hands postflop unless I have AA or KK I guess.

Well, 4 all ins today, 3 on 888 AK-AA 0-1 QQ-AA 0-1 QQ-AA 0-1 And one on Unibet, QQ-AA 0-1 I mean, how stupid is this actually, am I just running like hell all the time or what? BvB, standard BS... BB vs CO I could flat the 3b and would have gotten away from it on that flop lol. This was actually a stupid one, UTG vs SB but I 3b him few hands before and then he 3b me twice in a row after lol, so now I 3b, he 4b again... like I leveled myself in it... so yeh, call 4b and then fold that flop I guess... crap QQ SB 3b, I 4b he calls, he calls flop cb and turn x/x, he jams riv... guess I don't win vs much value... don't have a heart which is good I guess but lots of bluffs are around the Q and I block AQ if he turns that in to a bluff... SB vs CO... 4 handed, all in pre, CO opened, BTN fish called, I squeezed, faced a minraise, jammed it, bit deeper but would still go all in on that board I guess although not loving it... One hand I won, called a 3b pre OOP for once as they always fold vs 4bets, never get action with my AA very strange... managed to get the lot. Thoughts anyone?

Client works fine for me on windows and iOS mobile.

@Andy-Unibet reply on 2+2 forum:

RAKE 350, GET 35 cleared 2 days ago, asked my stats for the period of that ticket and no surprise I got hammered on small sample of 2,400 hands at 50NL at -17.5bb/100 which is no big deal as lost a few all ins. Better are the 25NL stats, won €489.82 over 13,706 hands aka 14.3bb/100 So had to drop back down to stay with my bankroll management rules and win some more stacks at 25NL to complete that RAKE 350, GET 35, when I completed it the bankroll was just under 2k again and managed to get the 4k Bonus Points for the half way mark between loyalty lvl5 to 6. Sadly enough back to loyalty lvl 1 and start from scratch with the multiplier due to the reset and not reaching loyalty lvl6. (hopefully we get back there this quarter) Yesterday I logged in and bankroll was just above 2k due to exchange rate so was allowed to play 50NL again lol. Better start this time so see if we can ride it out and stay more at 50NL but I'll see how the tables are and if there are not enough players or if the pool is terrible I just drop down to 25NL. Working my way through a €50 playthrough bonus from the loyalty scheme and after that still have a RAKE 300, GET 30 to clear. And still 39,330 bonus points left. And have yet to win anything from the 25th Anniversary flip tournaments. 888 poker is still the same, impossible to get the bankroll going, played 2 tables of SNAP one day, one table I ran up to 700BB and on the other I just kept losing pot after pot lol. Bankroll just above $900... 🤷‍♂️ Just posting some winning hands for a change: Going to start keeping record of my all ins again, not to see how bad I run 😏 but actually wonder how many people actually still jam QQ. Unless it is a weird sample size, I have this inkling that people just got tighter for whatever reason. Seems I'm never up against QQ and a lot against AA and KK... and I can't even remember last time I had an all in when I had AA, very strange. Hope it's a sample size thing.

Some more rant hands, and that will be the last post as tilt is back and just CBA anymore. Open JJ, bet big on flop, get minraised, ok I call, call a turn bet and a river bet... nice how they always get there. Flop decent, turn the nuts, oh yeh countered on the river, nothing new there. But he had nothing anyway. Lets 3b and jup, half the table calls and same old same old, worst flops ever. Call QT, he bets pot on flop like wtf, should prob already fold but hey ho, I don't like money, then get 2p and he obv turns the nuts... tilt tilt tilt... When you 3b UTG and the guy barely ever played a hand... and he x/r the flop... was expecting AA tbh... 4b pot with KK, crap flop, decent turn ish, but then still gets there with a flush... fuck my life... 3b, x/c the flop and call his jam on the turn... jup J on the river is exactly how it should go. Squeeze pot and jup, best flop ever yet again lol Lets 3b AA for once, aids board yet again and no they never show up with some weird KJ hand as they always flop the nuts... 3b JJ, aids flop, turn pretty decent but yeh river has to kill it again so can't even bet. Yeh seems like a good river again... usual crap. Open QJs, SB calls, I bet big on the flop and he calls, then he donks the turn, I raise he calls, I bet riv again and he just calls... I mean... Very next hand, I didn't rebuy in time and he opens BTN so I just shoved my hand, KK of course! These are meant to be regs and just don't understand what happens here, I open KK he calls in BB, I bet flop he calls and then instantly he donks turn, so quick it's like he uses some software or something, so bizarre. Can't remember if I called or not... Again a reg, I open BTN he calls, I get x/r on the flop which is already weird, he bombs turn and jams river... what does he even rep? K6/66 ? A6 wouldn't bet turn anymore... Some terrible played hands but I'm always up against the nuts for some reason... so yeh... stick it.

Literally getting pissed off again, what kind of bs is this actually I have to run bad all the bloody time. Bankroll 888 down to $950 and on Unibet back at €1,850. 888 is just beyond believe, if I was a new player I would for sure say I'm getting scammed on that site and that they can see my cards or something. Since I started I'm down $13 from my actual play although I'm still up from the bonuses etc. 50NL on Unibet, yet another shambles, move up and never able to win, 5 all ins and lost 4 and tied one, 2x AK in to AA yet again !! AK in KK and 88 in to AK and then tied AK in to AJo when the board paired up to split the pot 🙄 Have games changed suddenly that AK is just a call pre and never a jam?? Just play AA and KK ok I got it. Lets 3b and then just barrel it off... get snapcalled by ATo lol Let's 3b again and flop TP on flop so bet anyway, pick up equity on the turn so let's keep betting and we get there so we jam... wth is going on... Don't think I can win any fecking hand with AA or KK in a 3b or 4b pot ever... all in on the turn vs halfstack but ofc he has the nuts... Again a 3b pot I decided to barrel off... snapcalled by random crap again. BvB, I x/r flop, crap turn x/x and riv x/x again... giving up this combo I think... and then they hit the river... 1st hand of the session, lets 3b K9s which you can do half the time, get insta jammed on lol Again these silly hands where I flop decent and board just runs out tits up. These weird things, can't remember pre flop exactly, 3b TT vs UTG reg, get 4b small I think, I call, call small flop cb although not happy ofc, then jams turn whilst I still have 108BB behind... wtf is that meant to be... Again 3b pot vs a reg... what is this, think I 3b then cb flop and x turn and get jammed on lol, similar board as above... am I missing something? 2 next pics same hand. Somehow a 4b pot but can't remember action, then BB donks flop, MP raises, don't see any point in raising as I would just blow the BB out... But the money goes in anyway and I'm practically dead... can you believe it... Just a semi tilt hand, open 88, SB calls, BB squeezes, ok I call, low board so just call it off, yup never see a bluff. And then you have some sponsored reg playing the pool for a few hours, stacks people left right and centre no bother... Glad I won one hand vs him, I open, BTN calls, he squeezes, I call and so does BTN, flop goes x/x/x I think, then he bets turn big and I call, BTN folds and he jams riv easy call obv... guess his play is ok, lots of draws missed and he doesn't block any suit.

@Pionrjseen that video before, not sure if it was on here lol Apart from it being a funny video, it isn't the exact reason why it doesn't affect me as much as it used to (and hoping it stays like that!), it's like I'm more focused on the actual hand rather than the hands I lost before etc. Just like playing a strategy game really and every hand is a different game.
