  1. Ooh, I've been moaning a lot about this in the past as well. The big difference being that now I can do it publically.
  2. This is probably the worst promotion that you guys have. Sure you'll get a few guys that will get themselves in the top tier RB so they'll keep grinding rakeback after that, but it makes the Unibet cashgames the least attractive I've played in a long time. Nitty, Reg heavy, combined with how the seating works it means that unless you play max tables or cycle tables non stop you don't really get to play with the recreationals. So if you just want to 2-3 table for an hour or so, you'll probably end up grinding vs 5 regs untill your table breaks. So I would really consider changing the point mechanics in that promo, because currently it is utter garbage.
  3. pretty sure it rounds up.
  4. I don't really want to make it a them vs us kinda battle, but given you're making the comparison: 4NL & 10NL are still a lot lower than Stars. 4.15%/cap 1 vs 2%/cap 0.5 & 4.5%/cap 2 vs 3.5%/cap 1. Also, when these are your games, you concern shouldn't be rakeback, your concerns should be either having fun or getting better to move up.
  5. Hmm, I was confident I remembered a result from a simulation where 4NL was the same. Could be wrong. Also, due to rounding the rake in the small pots will stay the same anyway. That's why there's barely any change. So the most HU pots will only be affected when there's been 2 big bets&calls postflop.
  6. You kinda misread the announcement. Overall rake is being reduced. People seem to disregard the impact of the cap on the total rake. 4NL will probably be roughly the same 10NL goes up a little bit, still on par with or below industry standards 25NL goes down a lot 50NL goes down a bunch PL25 will be a little less PL50 will be a little less
  7. Yeah, I think both are viable options on 10NL, opening 3x with a strong/tight range or lowering to 2.5bb with a somewhat wider range. As long as you don't open 3x too wide, or 2.5x too tight, you'll be fine. Yeah, one of the initial conclusions was that Cbetting was "the mistake". Our hand does indeed qualify to check raise the flop, and even if he checks back, that's not an issue since we have A high and a combo draw. I think I would rather go for a smaller size on the turn in case I CR this, but that's probably linked to other options I have in my game strategy.
  8. Do me a favour and never apologize for asking me a question! Thanks for asking questions, much appreciated.
  9. Interesting. When facing a halfpot bet from UTG, I would advice against folding AQ in that spot though, your AQ will still be a very profitable call. This is the river situation facing a bet from UTG bet of 80% pot, the sizing I would pick if I bet the river here. As you can see, even vs a bigger bet, AQo can still call a decent amount of times. It is relatively close though, so the more likely you think your opponent is betting flushdraws on the flop, the more you should just click the call button on this river (since he'll have more bluffs). You can also see some Qx raise here, this isn't for value, this is as a bluff. Because CO still has KQ&55 when raising here, UTG can't call with 44 & 55 and should even fold some Kx that he has here. (Kx is only trips compared to 44&55, but because we block KQ, it becomes a better bluffcatcher than 44&55) As played you're right that the AQo call is probably a little brave, but not too bad though. However, as mentioned Pio doesn't pick Ac2c as a bluff, but would pick some A5,45,65 because they block 55.
  10. Tough crowd. Let me point out noone has to be afraid to comment. The best way to get better at the game is to talk & think about the game. So whether you play 4NL or 400NL, your input is greatly appreciated. We might discover flaws in the post, or you might uncover a flaw in your own thinking. Either way, everyone comes out a better player. So let's keep the next hand cheap [10NL] UTG vs CO SRP, CRAI on river. https://gyazo.com/6c16802195f8e9b50da3423f22aa5a13 Opening A2s UTG seems ok, but it's for sure one of the hands that's ok not to open if you want to open tighter. We open UTG and get a flat from CO, I consider flatting here a leak in general (unless you have a reason not to, like a very weak player in the BB or someone tilting that still has to act (BTN to BB). SO because of that, I assume villain probably doesn't 3bet enoug. Let's assume a range like this: TT-22,AJs-ATs,KJs+,QJs,JTs,T9s,98s,87s,76s,65s,54s,AQo-AJo,KQo We flop really well with a nutFD & a gutshot. On this board, I think using a bigger sizing is better with this part of our range, especially OOP vs someone with too wide a flatting range. CR is another path we can choose to take, but we risk our opponent checking back a lot of hands we want him to fold. Interesting to note is that Piosolver would check 100% as UTG opener vs the range we gave our opponent, while Pokersnowie would bet around 1/5 of its opening range for this size, including our hand. Aditionally, the EV difference for betting or checking in Pio is relatively small. The Kd is so good for my range, that when Cbet the flop, I want to continue. Since it's likely that making our opponent fold 66-TT isn't a 1 street plan, we size bigger again to force him to fold those. We still get called. At this point we give our opponent a range consisting of 44,55,AQo,KQ,QJs,67s & FD's (TcJc-67s), and a pinch of PP's that are stubborn. The river Kh is again better for my range than his, so I wanted to check here vs our opponent to give him the opportunity to bluff missed draws, and valuebet worse hands vs our nutted range. Keep in mind that we are very capable of having all Full houses, a lot of trips, and even AA would be very strong here. When he bets this small, it screams Qx to me, so we're sticking to the plan to bluff with my hand, if he would have bet bigger, I probably just fold this. He timebanked and called. Try not to be too result oriented and place yourselves in both player's position. Would you have done anything different? Would you just have bet the river instead of going for the CRAI? What do you think our best bluffs are on the river?
  11. don't think so. it's still just 1% cap €3 at all stakes right? isn't that super low?
  12. I don't understand the lack of positive reaction to the rake changes. 4NL will be almost unchanged as total amount raked, the biggest difference is that the majority of the rake now will be paid by the biggest winners. 10NL is a slight increase, and again, one that will most likely impact the big winners on the stake and actually have a better impact on the average players. But even this isn't that crazy of an increase. 25NL & 50NL will undergo a massive benificial change. And if you want to talk in term of Unibet "making money off more rake". The €100's they will gain extra from 10NL will be nothing compared to the 1000's of paycut they just took from 25NL & 50NL just so the ecology can grow and progress healthier. @Esir his blog was a nice example of a good reg, failing to move trough 25NL, partially because of the rake, as the impact on his winrate from paying more rake combined with having to deal with better regs just means too many 10NL regs couldn't move up, so they just accepted their faith, and stayed on 10NL. There's going to be that anecdotal story of that one guy that succeeded and had a heater on 25NL/50NL to make to to 100NL, but those are rare. A big part of this problem is a general failure to understand how this industry works, I've worked a lot behind the scenes in BE for more than 10 yeras, had some good talks with Unibet staff as well, which helps you to get a clear view on how all of it works. Promotions cost money, that money needs to reach the players you want to help. On 4NL & 10NL the siituation got to a point that you couldn't reach that group without spending the majority of your promotional budget on players that were already winning a lot. Which means you need to change the ecosystem. It's a very unromantic view of the industry, but it's just how things work. The weirdest thing is that the people that complain the loudest are often totally unaffected by these changes, even crazier are benefittin from them. Yet somehow they have convinced themselves that any change is bad, therefor we complain about change. All sites are increasing rake, and after (5!) years of fighting, people finally managed to get the idea going up the corporate chain that it is indeed better to earn less money, because it'll allow for more growth. Think about how hard that discussion must have been while the gambling sector in general is in decline. So I want to make sure the Unibet staff knows that I'm super grateful. I have requested these changes for a long time, despite them not really affecting me, because I knew they were the better thing to do, and it'll increase the chances of someone that takes the game serious, and doesn't just sit around and complain all the time to actually build a bankroll, make it to midstakes, get those UO packages, make some friends, gets better and manages to turn pro and live the dream.
  13. pre seems fine. if easy11 jams, you probably fold due to FT ICM? Postflop, the pot is protected, so you're probably barely bluffing. Does it make sense in that case to size down to around quarter pot, so you can bluff slightly more often to put pressure on easy11 his PP's
  14. as a reg 100NL+ you will probably get some of the highest RB's in the current industry (50%+) + the rake is not even that bad from an industry pov
