Quick update: Cashed out after running it up before resetting for Q2 and currently -200 so far this month playing a little bit of everything. Will do a proper update when i stop doing it in everyday. Good luck to everyone playing the community league, I am going to really try and play every event this time and go for the win since everyone else is tryharding. ❤️ Sam

IN!

At my lowest point, I looked up at the sun and heard a voice proclaim: "You must prove your heart and commitment to the game." €5 = enough to play 10 satellites into the battle royale 2nd place in battle royale = 150. After I had 150 to work with it allowed me to start using my bonus points again.

The rungood continues, shipped ironman + 3 other smaller MTTs. All 1st none of the runner up nonsense. Gonna play everything today even the high buyin stuff. Gl if you're playing Blog Profit: £8450 ❤️ Sam

I had to decide if i wanted to try to recover my Unibet account with < €5 allowance or go and deposit somewhere else and grind a deposit bonus. Fuck that I like Unibet and I did it to myself stop being a fucking wimp. Gonna keep grinding all the low stakes stuff and NOT play 200PLO Also started gardening, it's helped me not tilt for a week, maybe it's the secret sauce? ❤️ Sam

I punted off yesterday morning at 200PLO and then punted my 100 cash ticket by blind jamming every hand, ended up losing 300. Didn't realise I had a £500 spending limit set and now I am locked out from registering tournaments until April 1st. Let myself down, let my family down, just depressed af tbh. Going into the last 2 days in top 10 for both with a chance at some serious bonus points that would really help me move up and I go and do dumb shit like that. FML Cya in april maybe

3 misclicks in one day yesterday, one which cost me a final table stack in an SPC L where I called a 55bb open shove with 69s. Very costly leaderboard points punted! Don't really have a chance at the All since I am not playing the H events 3 days of play left and I have a chance at some points, anything could happen yet though. There is just so much value on the site.. After a bad run on the MTTs I played the deepstack challenge for about an hour and won it for an extra €100 cash game ticket. Played a few satellites that all had overlay into the main events. Unibet really does look after it's players. Thank you! GL If you're playing today ❤️ Sam

Bad day, Lost a few big pots at 50PLO with 75%+ equity and busted all of the SPC early 100 SPC bustout hand for 7 stacks: On to the next one GL to all playing today ❤️ Sam

When I first started playing again I would quit a session as soon as I was aware of a mistake I made. It led to lots and lots of short sessions, and lots of improvement (mental game and strategy) and less big losses. Also helps you stay present as you are reviewing your play very strictly. Definitely not for everyone as it's a bit extreme but just throwing it out there as a way to tackle the mental game fish moves.

I actually used the wrong flop in my sim so the hand goes from 90% call to 20% call at 20bbs. So at 26bbs and factoring in the villains perceived range to be tighter than GTO I think it is a snap fold. @CuteRaven That is what the solver output is for our continuing strat vs 1bb if we check this flop (lots of greyed out stuff that has pure jammed pre or pure led the flop) @KrustyTheClown Thanks

Wasn't sure on a spot from last night at 25bbs deep before the money. I know at 20bbs it's calling with my hand ~90% of the time but that frequency should be adjusted for actual range of opponent in a vacuum (tighter than solver) & the fact it is deeper. Flop vs 1bb cbet Blog Profit: £7650 ❤️ Sam

Real bad sunday. Woke up full of punter's guilt. Bricked everything. No Day 2s 4 chiplead stacks dusted off and no ITM finishes. I 3b non all in with AKo for 20bbs eff and ended up losing to the QTs. PURE SHOVE I 4b all in JJ for 70bbs eff after opening from +1 after facing a BB 3b. PURE CALL I flat KJs OTB vs CO open 15bb eff. PURE SHOVE Putting in 6 hours of work in the lab before i go back to the tables since I haven't woken up feeling guilty for how bad I played the day before in a long time. Blog Profit: £7750 ❤️ Sam

Haha I'm sure he wouldn't mind... He may have even ran the spot vs population tendencies and it came back as a +EV play vs min open. Gl to you too!

Qualified in for the €50 6 max turbo but lost a pot for the chip lead vs Dokey. I snapped off with 88 after i 2x BU and he insta jams 40 eff from BB. He was literally spamming all in before it even got to him. Not a spot I get put in a lot, but my table had 2 good regs and it's a turbo so I guess run with it. Also timing tells? Who insta jams 40 with AA and calls themself a poker player? Noone. So I think he is capped at TT (which still wants to induce) and then all the broadway and offsuit aces with some smaller 3bs from some of the AKs AQs Ax Kx stuff that realises equity better. Not too sure on that hand still though.. Only other interesting hand is my bustout from the 6max Low where i open jam 12bb from BU with a <5BB stack in the HJ and lose to BB KQ. Considering the leaderboard point jump from a 5th to a 4th finish is worth ~10 leaderboard points I think I should have folded pre and played insane polar ladder nit game based on the leaderboard strat. The leaderboard points are worth 100s where the difference between 5th and 1st was €40.... Lesson learned. Shipped the Mid though! Was worried I was playing a crusher HU since I had seen the name all over the place that day but managed to cooler them off in on of the first hands.

You're the best HU player I've played against in an MTT for a long time. WP bro

A few final table bubbles and 9th places but overall still profitable. Managed 2nd place in the "€10 SPC 11 Title Fight" which was good for 70 leaderboard points and €350. Gutted I lost the HU because the difference between 1st and 2nd was €600. WP to the victor CAN1SMAJOR1S A good run for the next couple weeks and I have a chance at earning some juicy bonuses from the leaderboard so fingers crossed. Blog Profit: £7550 ❤️ Sam

So after the 30k hand breakeven stretch and month away I made a really bad decision when I came back and started off with a shot take. Don't do this, if anything play lower. My logic was that I am fresh and have been studying and will commit to just not playing higher if it goes bad. Standard pre, perhaps I should open smaller. 3x instead of 3.5 I have 2 sizes on this flop but this hand class in this spot is pure 25% Nice Not nice Add to that a week of bricking 90%+ of MTTs and it wasn't the comeback I was looking for. So I've been studying a bit more and working on spots at 60bb 30bb and 20bb for MTTs. Now that I am getting more accurate with frequencies I am going to start experimenting with the use of an RNG to control my flop cbet (unless I choose to exploit the opp because they're bad) I won't be using it for preflop or river calls just yet. I plan to play the L and M events in the SPC and hope to satellite into some H. Still grinding the 25 tables but mainly studying Gl to all playing Blog Profit: £7200 ❤️ Sam

35k+ hands this month so far for ~£100 profit I have started feeling anxiety before I load tables since I get stacked at the start of the session within 1 orbit every day since the last update. I couldn't bring myself to open the tables until about 3pm today and it happened again. How the fuck am I going to hit 1,000,000 XP this quarter if this is how it starts. Cathartic rant over. I hope everyone else isn't running so bad, apart from the people I am playing against (you can DIAGF) Blog Profit: LOL ❤️ Sam

How much have you raked this month playing ~8k hands per day? Happy Birthday

The fact that Valueheavy with a double starting stack gave me the send off emote when I bubbled and then also bubbled. looooooool

????????????????????????

Feeling inspired by some of the insane volume I see others playing so I am going to go for a higher target than the pathetic 33k hands from last month. JANUARY GOALS XD 2k Profit Don't get any nicknames deleted Post better blogs and not just moans or brags 45k hands A few things to focus on to increase profitability (in order of importance) 1. Accuracy - Correlation to how an engine would play the same spot. 2. Perception - Taking into account opponent tendencies to modulate frequencies of your play. Mixes turn into pures, calls turn into raises for value etc. To give an example outside of poker this is often used in the chess world when choosing a specific opening vs another player who has shown weakness in the past vs the same opening. I like to use the chess comparison as the game is solved in the same way as poker and people use engines at the highest level to improve their play. (just like poker) And now, for a short lesson in the dark arts: 3. Emote spam the flying fuck out of the tiltlord badregs - This one is dangerous, you have to be careful with your targets on this one so you don't come off as a massive douche. You don't want to target the mega whales who can't spell flush and count their straights on their fingers, they're losing enough. They are your mates. You want to throw your competition off their game. If you are not currently timed out from your emotes after one of the regs is on tilt, you're doing it wrong. Yes I am serious. Do it in live games too, just have some class and don't be too mean (unless they are a sociopathic grinder) those ones are fair game. EZ money I'd focus on the first 2 though. 😉 Pretty good start to the month so far, 7k hands and + 20 BI Biggest win (all in pre) Biggest loss (all in pre) max pain runout after I am essentially freerolling him on the flop Blog profit is a rough estimate at the moment and will come up with the actual numbers for the next update.

Hard disagree. Do you know how many people lie in bed in the morning dreading to have to go into work? Especially after the holidays. We just have to take beats and deal with it. You're blessed.
