  1. Its a good try. I did it kinda the same way. When I opened Unibet up for try I actually started with 10 euros. I have usually help all bankrolls , kinda not totally, but almost fully separately. Imo Unibet is very soft and basically grinding tickets for SNGs is very doable since the edge can be so high. 

     

    However.... I would keep in mind that its probably true only in the cent satellites. 

    In real world playng satellites is rather something that skyrockets your varience curve A LOT... and many people dont realize it . I have myself years ago made a huge mistake making exactly that. Sats should be taken as shot takes for bigger games and treated with carefulness. If we talk sent sats, then dont take that much into heart, but just know that. 

    You havent said your starting BR yet, but Im just gonna encourage you that its doable, since I started Unibet with super small even tho I had BR on others. 

    Will be watching 😉

    Also i made a mistake with that huge cashout of 4000 EUR as bankroll decayed super fast after that and i already made expensive transfers from my cashout wallet skrill to binance and bank account, so wont be able to deposit in easy way anymore. ( would love to do crypto deposits/cashouts, but i know its not easy to offer that from unibet perspective). Wont do this mistake again, have to rebuild 10k+ br and hold it in unibet. 

     

     

     

    Certainly a wise decision, I dont know much about Spins, but I can tell from my last year I had like 3 month lasting downer as MTT reg. So I imagine, spins could go even worse I guess. Ive tryed to be really nity with management. And its very important. For sure be nitty too! More power to you man! I hope family gets well!

    I'm actually not sure how up to date Blackrain is or how relevant his content is for people who already know the basics, although I barely watched any of his vids, I think it's more for people who have been donking around in poker without knowing any basic strategy like opening ranges, sizes, no limping etc

    I liked the course on RIO from the ground up which was good at going round all the subjects and concepts but I never had an 'aha' moment on figuring out the game, just watched a lot of videos and I just came to the conclusion that lots of regs do play the game in a similar way which takes things in account like ranges and blockers etc which I'm still working on as well, hoping I'm somewhat halfway figuring it out 😅

    But for the stakes you and I play you can actually take the bluffing part almost entirely out of your game, the big triple barrel bluffs that is anyway, and you just have to overfold vs aggression especially from regs, I used to be like that when getting bet in to really big and I would call it down with some kind of logic of I'm not going to get bluffed mate lol but 9.9 out of 10 they just have the nuts over and over.

    I think Blackrain probably is a decent player, but I dont find his analysis something Im overly fond to listen to. He seems to be some cash reg, who knows enough from the old days, but I dont see much depth in his videos. At some points, I ve also thought that his help is not worth much. At points seems too tight at many occasions, its like reading an old book about SNGs and find out that AQ should be folded <- thats just crap what we know today. Crap, that seemed to be good at old days. But this crap for sure can help someone run +EV at 1dollar, 2dollar, 5dollar games.

    Guys, after playing around with equilab a little, I have a quick question regarding poker ranges etc. I think I folded way too many hands in the past in certain situations and I would like to know what you think:

    Consider the following situation: Regular SNG/MTT with small antes, not on the bubble, no specific reads, I'm not in the Push/Fold phase etc.

    I'm sitting on the Button with KQs and open-raise to 2,2 BB. The Big Blind is short-stacked and goes all in. My questions now:

    • Let's say he pushes up to 15 BB All-in, then KQs is a call for me. Correct?
    • If he pushes to something like 12 BB All-In, then even KJs would be a call for me. Correct?

    What do you think, am I missing something here?

    KQ is very nutted call at this situation. You are certainly overfolding if you make folds at this point, EVEN IF you would lose some of the times and get into small stack because of these calls, the overall EV of these calls would make you more bigger stacked games and more bigger wins overall. 

    The suited ones are not even a question here.. . If someone is a specially nity could make some extreme fold, but otherwise just click it and run it no matter what. 

    (havent read the under comments yet, havent been much active to read the forum)

  5. I have not been able to play as much UOS as I planned at first due to live stuff.

    But here are 2 screens with results. Today Im tired, will post other hand stuff later too. 

    Too bad that I had not screened results on the lower one.

  6. was nice , but got only into 203 eur.  It would be good if , the client would remember your stack like, when people leave a table and you have 3 players and suddely 2... shouldnt be a HU. So to avoid tables being "heads up" , the client should be able to remember your "last stack" at that Deep legend event. unknown.png

  7. Starting with another UOS bloging here. Will be an intresting time, yesterday went pretty deep, but ended up falling still. 

    Also the Tuesday Bubble Burster was a weird format that I played all of. Which I ended up getting like 68 euros and I think I had like over 80 euros of buy-ins there, so 🤣 no goods. But well the volatile ones happen todays Wilds will be even more xD .

  8. Im not surpirised when, large amounts get introspected. Just need to imagine, that the company is dealing with money constantly. 

    However, I can feel for you if there is exactly no reasons for you to have that in your mind and at the same time, specially the mail support of Unibet isnt the best one out there in my mind too. There is certainly a part where they could improve lots, as it is often very slow and not quick to respond. But at the same time, Unibet has a community like this and admins here are great. If there is no issues, you will get your money back and there is no problem with it later - just need some distrubing patience there. Sorry to hear. 🙄

  9. I ll add once more - IF it would be 10 BB situation I would sure fold, because then it would make the situation much diffrent. Our stack depth at 10 BB vs 3bet struggles to call off like that for many reasons. 

    1: We still have some fold equity with 10bb vs players.

    2. We can find better RFI shoves than this call off multiway.

    But the problem is, its not 10 bb. And its 5 handed. Waiting for a "strong hand" with folding is a road into the short-busts with no meaningful places by blinding out.  Every time we get to pay another ante, or blinds we lose part of valuable fold equity. 

    And thats is also why GTOwizards range at 10 BB, is really not applicable to this situation.

    This is very true. But when we have an average stack squeezing small against bigger stacks with the ICM, we can't really trust on the folds there. Not on Unibet at least, where even "regs" are calling their KTo's on these spots. And in fact with our call we induce calls behind with semi trash hands because we make the price too good. I remember Waffel speaking about winning tournaments and at this point you shouldn't be thinking that at all. Even that one prize jump is a win here.

    I think its pretty similar to chipEV there with 5handed(blinds get distr, so fast into you again). Im gonna see what ICMizer thinks about in with cEV. 

    I dont know what were your "GTOwizards assumptions, but these seem overly tight"  I wasnt able to check it 4-ways, but in a 3way scenario it was calling off both in equilibrium and also mine adjusted varient.

    At the screenshot there's basically no dead money. There's still the opener and guy who flatted yet to act. At the best case scenario if we call here both of them fold which might give us about 30%. If one of them calls, we most likely have 10-20%. Even tho this is a strong hand to fold, we are so rarely winning that max tanking+fold give us more ev with the possible prize jump than calling. Pure blind vs blind it's an easy call.

    I doubt we can fold at 5 handed. Maybe its notable at 9 handed.. . Better players would also recognize that the SB can 3bet wider here vs LP openers because he knows, that LP is already opening wider because of the short-stack(us) on the BB . BTN calling, gives a very good squeeze opportunity. If this would be SB 3beting vs EP, sure - we may be talking about folds(maybe...) ... also the squeeze size I dont like, its too small, and should be more like 10-11bb here - probably shoving is even better. Which would change a stuff in good player range <- it would basically stronger his range to very strong because he is essentially "wanting people to call if he is using such sizing there suddenly" .  ... Of course people probably do not think in such level, which makes calling again much better because then their actually not so strong probably. .. So yeah..

    Hello,

    What is the right game in this hand?

    Black Hole, ITM, 25 left.

    With the possibility of nutflush(if multiway), at this stackdepth I wouldnt be thinking about "us getting dominated" . I'd be much more worried about folding a hand that is too strong to fold at such stack depth... so even tho we dont like that situation, we probably just should go with it in non-ITM anyday.. 

  13. I wish you a good run, and for the most, an active learning from the process. 2 tables at once is certainly a good start. To archive your goals you really need to learn a lot. With small volume, you can have pretty long downers, but the overall focus should be longer-term and not on the bad run results. SNGs are very soft here so it shouldnt be overly complex. Im not gonna write a study guide here, but I do say that if reading old SNG literature while it would make players win in small games, in terms of theory their comically dated and the applied ranges that get to be used even with old time SNG-super-guys, are ridiculously off by what we know today. But then again, new information is always better than no information. 

    Looking for the posts 😉

  14. NIce off-topic sidetopic, in Turbos blog. But I ll add some to @anatarus

    Its funny when people make chess comparements when they probably know nothing about it. Since I've played both. I can tell you, its all about studing madly. 80% luck is such an overstatement. If it would be 80% luck, even people with skill wouldnt be able to make profits from living out of it. Real life is diffrent, people live out of poker. But guess what? Their not shoving T5 because of a magical feeling. They study almost every day, and can make very good deductions from their knowledge. They imagine peoples ranges in their head and make the optional conclusions. Conclusions that make them money consistently long-term. Months, Years, Decades.. I think people who make excuses like written before here... just dont understand how bad they are, and 2nd does not properly study, and what they also do not understand is varience <- what it really is and how brutal it is. To have your brain even a little bit enlightned, find out some winning graphs, of good players and then look the downfalls and count how many tournaments at that winning graph, are their occasional downfalls -> you might be surprised. And if you cannot beat that curve, its ONLY BECAUSE YOUR GAME IS VERY VERY BAD. Its the honest and hard to except truth for you probably. But thats what it really is.

    However, I m not surprised, that its easy to think its rather all everyone else is wrong and you are right, but thats only because statistically its around 15% from the population who actually make money with poker, because all others are just too lazy or inconsistent to study enough to reach it. Ive seen many players who after being serious realize suddenly how far behind they are and some quit even because of that realization. It takes a lot of effort and most are not willing or capable to do it. That willingness has nothing to do with RNG runouts for few weeks that loose you a chunck of your bankroll, loosers go bust and winners get ahead despite of these runouts. GG. - Sorry Turbo for that heckling OT here. I hope you get to make some posts that make up the OT and makes it a blog again. xD.

  15. Sadly didnt hold later.55s vs K8 wrecked my FT where I just had to call... and before The J9 hand vs Summerpanda really changed the curve.

    pretty standard.. 

    image.thumb.png.6bbcddb1c85b720c6b8b849fe62fe126.png

    5c pretty good card for us, but complites for some no point to go 2nd street, so just check-check. 

    image.thumb.png.468bf91e64b63d0e5d14822fd6aab8b8.png

    So here I was almost checking, because people just are not wide enough in these games even tho it doesnt change much, because I was dead to 7s and 5s before too. And even tho some3s are now pretty nutted <- he just doesnt have these so much in his range. We still get value from worse specially if people dont play their SB correctly. On many occasions he should actually go bet himself, because - CO has so many check backs and if you have good value, you dont wanna check this river, considering this - the SBs range weakens(because he really should bet himself. ... So I went for a bet and lost. 

     

    9 bb into 15 and of course its his. But what I was very surprised of, is that JJ is not 3betted nor is he check-raising the flop and giving super good ways to get lessen his EV by it with increasing to get doomed by draws in Buttons range. Its also a pretty good board to the LP. But Since LP is also pretty wide himself, its missed. 9 is pretty good for SB there, but it shoud be xR a lot for protection. Maybe not so much vs larger-sizings but still. But well thats poker, I really liked that series. I literally didnt change my sleeping schedule due to this final. But since now, I guess Im gonna be turning. Have literally woke up like 8 - 9 PM for a week now... time to get back to into the day zone. .
