Getaway from planet Breakeven and land on the Supermoon
Samba replied to HardGain's topic in Blogs & Stories
I'd make sure those ranges are configured to a similar rake structure as unibet since they could be way off. The flora in your garden looks very similar to an english garden, where do you live? P.S. Yeah it is called Ivy -
Fourteen Years Of Heartache In The Microverse, Is The End In Sight?
Samba replied to GR1ZZL3R's topic in Blogs & Stories
I fancied limerick lace in the grand national too. So did it's owner! He picked it over his other horses in the race. Didn't even get any excitement from my punt since it started in the back 2 off the line. Rigged! GL on the grind -
Everyone is bad at PLO mtts. Here's an example from a 15k PLO FT that Alex Foxen blunders and the commentators completely ignore it "because ICM". 4 people left, payouts: 1 - $348,600 2 - $224,100 3 - $161,850 4 - $118,275 Hand starts @ 3:02:20 Duek opens 3559 badugi in CO to 2.5BB with 45BB. A trash open with no A or K to block 3bet ranges and very bad equity. He chooses to open it in this config "because ICM" I would go out on a limb and say he is basically opening 95% if he is opening this. 12BB and 10 BB shorties fold and Foxen has AAQ4ss suited to the A with 35bbs. He elects to flat "because ICM" Which the non-pro commentator immediately starts talking about whilst JNandez stays quiet and lets the blunder happen. Definitely the meta for most of the crushers who commentate. Playing this hand passively is fine but what about if you actually think you're good. What about if you actually think you're a favourite HU vs all of them? How about we put some ICM pressure back on the bad CL with the preflop nuts? Lots of good things happen, he folds pre and now you are basically tied for 1st. He calls and you arrive at a flop with AA and an SPR of ~1.5. Not so bad. You're still in 2nd if you have to x/f the flop Instead, he plays passively and gets bluffed off on the river after calling 2 streets. Eventually laddering to a 2nd place finish whilst Duek spews it off (standard) and finishes 3rd. This preflop mistake is worth 5 figures. Imagine getting to play 4 handed vs this caliber of opponent and still noticing these types of blunders. It's a fucking gold mine.

I love the schedule and the way it is structured to help people ladder through the stakes. Same with the UOS schedule, nothing predatory about it and great for the overall ecosystem. I think playing poker on Unibet is completely different to the tracked sites. Definitely lets you create a higher edge if you put the work in to create exploits vs tendencies. Also lets you farm reads on the ego regs that keep the same name. Fair enough you don't have software to format the tables and betting and save notes. Good! Just another way to create edge vs the lazy ppl by finding ways to DIY. IMO you're only gonna get the same value on stars/party/gg by playing exclusively sattys and hunting overlay. The edge is swallowed up by tracking software and higher rake. That is a testament to Unibet's player focused ethos. Cliffs: Unibet the GOAT

Definitely feeling sharper, still making lots of mistakes though. Played the €25 bountys on sunday and shipped the Battleground for €850. Ran hot on the FT and won every all-in to HU where I had a decent battle with a guy who coolered me down to 15bbs but I battled back and picked him off a few times to get 2:1 and then coolered him back FTW. EZ game Gonna try and get more volume in so the blog will be a bit more interesting. ❤️ Sam

Haven't updated in a long ass time, Volume went way down and was depressed af. I won a couple of the UOS PLO events back in winter, the biggest being the £25 2 day main. None of the low stakes matters though when you get fucked playing highstakes at the Vic. Lost over 50% of my roll in 3 pots vs people who were all in blind pre. Blind 2 years of BR building to get wiped out by whales being whales. (and me being a degen sitting on big tables) Went back to the lowstakes online grind and ran bad and lost all of my motivation. Since my last update of August last year I am +1500 +150 in tickets. Gonna try and turn it around. Goals for month: Get back to 100% accuracy on pairrd and hybrid poker Crush everyone Stop smoking blunts. Don't play above .50/1 ❤️ Sam

Played some big online pots, managed to get into the €1000 hexapro jackpot for €1 by max tabling them when the timer got low. Sick value hunting! Nearly Ended up coming 2nd for €120 after i lose the above hand A4ss vs K5o. Rigged obv. Had to go play live to return a £500 plaque someone gave me for safe keeping on a night out and they left coventry before I gave it back to them. Continued to run well in the live games so played them over the weekend. Horrendous Saturday session that lasted 1 hour. Played bad and left early. Hand 1: Only reads on HJ are that he is way too lose and was winning @ 2/5 in coventry playing like a donk. Never played with him. HJ raise CO call I 3b button w/ A6cc to 35, call, fold. Flop Ah Th 2c HJ check I bet 20 he insta jams for 250 I dunno what this timing means it basically feels like A2 or a flush draw. I end up calling and he has A2 and holds. Should just fold but the guy is extremely bad and super loose pre and don't need to take this spot without way more info. Hand 2 vs same player: I am in straddle , UTG1 limp MP raise to 20 (he just got stacked by UTG1) SB calls 20 I 3b to 90 with ATss folds to SB who takes 2 minutes to call and says "I just dont want you to win the 20" and calls. Flop Kc Jc 4s I bet 70 he snap calls Turn 8d I jam for just under pot and he calls and holds with K6hh. -800 in less than an hour. Well played sam. session results F*ck live poker 🙂 ❤️ Sam

Struggled to play online for a few months since Tommy would always sit behind me and watch my MTT grind. Everytime I loaded the Unibet software it would trigger memories of him and I couldn't manage to play. Ended up grinding live cash games and went for a 3 week poker trip to spain and then back to coventry for the goliath poker festival. Made about £3500 net profit and got some sun. Would have been more if I stayed away from the hookers and blow xD. Got it all out of my system and am back to being an online poker monk. It's quite amazing how bad everyone is at 6 card PLO. The good young NL pros who travel for games would come sit the 6 card PLO after the NL games dried up and they were massive whales. Hourly is close to double that of live NL games of the same stakes. Going to be grinding online a lot again for a few months and trying for a bucharest package as my next trip away. Been back 2 days and am about 15 BIs up so far which is a nice start. ❤️

My brother was murdered 7 days ago, he was my best friend. That is his justgiving link, I don't share it asking for charity, I just wanted to share a picture of him. https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/simon-bligh I miss him so much, I spent almost everyday with him since the original covid lockdown RIP Tommy everything I do is for you and your daughter- now and forever

Wish I could edit that above post because I didn't proofread it and I missed out on 2 allins I won, just coolers with AA and KK, I don't want to seem like I am trying to imply i ran really bad when clearly I ran amazing to even FT. Just a hastily rushed salty post cos I'm pissed I didn't win it when I had a decent chance. so yeah 2/5 in All ins. not 0/3 @FreedoM The "Rake X get Y" bonus thingy

Been playing MTTs and hunting good cash tables where I leave within 2 orbits if the game isn't juicy since I only get 5% rakeback (impossible to be a rb grinder anymore.) Shipped the 25 stack and 2nd in another 25 and 3rd last night in the Supernova 2 day, gutted I didn't win. Me vs 2 recreational players who can't read their cards and I went 0/3 in all ins. Final hand (all in on flop with 64%). Sat some 400PLO with the profit and spun a bit more up. Also running good on other sites but will spare the details, no 5 figure scores so nothing worth talking about. Sam ❤️ Blog Profit: £10500

FYI when I get a system message telling me that I have just been given a great 5% rb bonus it makes me want to uninstall and never come back, not play.
