Supporting each other is what the community is all about :D Oh ❤️♥️❤️ its PLO today :scared: Best off luck, but i think i will need it more today :p

I completly understand and sometimes we just gotta let the steam out so we can come back with new energy :D And I think I talk for every poker player when I say that its extremly impressive that you manage to play the way you do with a full time job AND a family! Hm it was in the beginning ish of the low reentry I think, if i dont remember wrong you rejammed Ak and got called by some trash and after that I know I noticed that you didnt play the way you usually do. Since I apprichiate to hear when someone noticed something in my game thought you would to, ime we sometimes play a bit emotional even before we fully get aware off it and it can really help if someone points it out. (Not saying that was the case, as when people tell me stuff, sometimes they just didnt understand my strategy. haha darn its hard to formulate myself, point is I just wanted to tell my observation to be nice not in any way as a critic) Really great to hear you did good on the bubble, thats excellent to be able to keep that cool and play good even after running like ♥️♥️♥️♥️ . You are a very experienced and competente player and mindset seems to be right back on track already :D Haha yeah Ive had a decent start, looking forward to battle it out toonight :D (Hopefully we can save the batteling until HU;)) GL tonight!

Sorry to hear it been such a rough start, I hope you get some new energy for tomorrow and can get back to your game :D I was at your table for a little bit today and I got the feeling you where pretty tilted. Dont mean that as a critic in any way but just wanted to tell you that I got that feeling bcs I think you are such great guy and I want you to do good (exept vs me ofc :p) Hope you feel(and run) better tomorrow! Im confident you will!

Acess pleace:)

Great blog as always @MetalWolf and really glad we finaly got to meet in person I do agree with many of your opinions about the structure. For me the biggest inconvenience was how the blind levels got set up. I dont remeber the levels exactly but it was something like 1. 100/100 2. 200/100 3. 200/100 + 200 big blind ante 4. 300/200 + 300bb ante 5. 400/200 + 400bb ante 6. 500/300 + 500bb ante etc... I have never played with that kind of blind structure before where the small blind is so big every second level & dont know how much I should adjust bcs of that but it will definatly have an impact on the game and make for more multiway pots=higher variance in an already high variance structure. In addition the big blind ante where kept the same size no matter the amount of players at the table, which sometimes was 6 instead of 9 players. Im not sure but I do think that is how most casinos do it to make it simpler for the game flow so I dont think its something to adress on its own but when also having big small blinds the dead money in some hands get really carried away from what it should be.

Yey thank yoy @GothMoth haha oh yeah ofc, i mean@Neumanriel haha how did I mix that up :p Oh well, ❤️♥️❤️ am I!? Thats cool, congratz to us

Hi :) I dont unfortunetly, I was conducting a leaderboard but when I droped out of the race after a couple weeks I stoped keeping track. I know that @ZuDwa ended up with just above 100 points :jazzhands: (hats of for him, what a amaysing commitment to grind it out like that) and his only competition in the end was @Patsgnome. But he just posted the printscreens and not total amount of points so I dont know if he managed to catch up or not.. Mayby we can ask him here, @Patsgnome how many points did you get in the end? :) Either way he also did an absolutely fantastic performance putting in a very high volume and showing consistent great results so whoever ends up getting the package will definatly have made himself deserved of it

@psrquack its very nice of you to say that :) But i can happely promice you that i dont feel any pressure and neither should anybody els ofc :) I just really like the way you descibed everything in your post , it didnt in any way come through as if you thought the players should update more. I read it as if you wanted someone from the community to do the updates but it just inspired me to wanna try to do something next time i have the possibility :D

I think you would have been the perfect event reporter @GR1ZZL3R , all my fingers crossed that you qualify!! I really belive the best result would come from several of us comming together and creating an alive live thread with as many updates/fun storys/photos/hand historys as possible :)

I couldent agree more, my normal blogg i all about me starting out, trying to improve and its was just my nervosity for live events making me feel that way I think :) Whish is stupied since that is how most people startign out feel and it therefore would be really good to write about. :happy: Yeah the love and cheers in Dublin was absolutle amaysing and im getting way more comferteble with the whole live thingy :) Looking forward alot to MK and it will be really fun trying to make live updates so it gets more alive for the people who are not attending and can help inspire new players to qualify! As you said, its definatly possible for any sized bankroll :)

I think you are making really good points here @psrquack, I wasnt in Sinaia but know that Im guilty of not contributing with any updates from dublin or bucharest earlier in the year. Personaly it bcs I feel like "why would anybody be interested in what i write, there is so many better players there, someone els will do that much better" , you know. But I really agree that it so fun to get updates on community members, big hands, stack sizes etc. I really liked the I live blog @GR1ZZL3R made from Dublin. I will try to make a little live blog from the next Uk tour in Milton Keyns :) I know its not the same as UO but I think there i quite some community members going there and it would be really nice to have a blog like and hopefully other members who want can share their stacksizes/ hands they played/photos/fun things. Its not posible to make to many updates while playing since there is so few breaks, but some short things is always manageble :) I know that the king of trip reports @MetalWolf will be going to Milton K aswell so mayby we together can do an effort to make some live updates and see if others will tag along aswell?:)

Hi! I have a couple questions about my uk tickets, i should be holding 2 packages, one for milton k and one that i won the 5th january that was said to be for manchester bcs the stops clear yet. I wounder, am i able to win another packages for milton k or does the "manchester" packages count towards the max 2/stop? Second question is that i was going to glasgow in july last year but unfortunatly had to late cancel, I should therefore still have a unused seat ticket, can I use that for milton k or other stop this year instead? Thanks :)

@triceraatopp So....the good thing is that we already run more freezeouts than rebuy/reenter, on the top of my head it's somewhere in the range of 62-38 percent :-) Really? That are not bountys? Thats good :) Would be awsome if it was even more :)

Haha I do think so to @Leo-Unibet but thats kinda been the thing every six weeks last year ;) Anyway, Im not blaming you in any way, Im very sure you tryed to make it as good as possible with the road the company want to take. Hopefully we will see more freezeouts mtts to accompany the changes since that is known to be the most rec friendly format, especially together with flat payouts. :)

@Caladrias you are only looking at the top 3 and yes they are kept the same, but compare the top 9 or 12 places and you will se a massive difference. And thats why this is a structure that is made to lower edges/ROI.

2005 if stars is the measurment I guess. With other competitor the bounty mtts pay 14% of the field and min cash is just over 1x buy in, the re entrys pay 12-14% min cahs 3x buy in & the freezeouts pay around 14-16% min cash 3x +.

What he said !

🤣🤣🤣 Random baloon 🤣 best expression Ive heard!

Thank you alot for your comments @whereisrivaldo , im very pleaced you like the blog :) and I never get board discussing data interpretations :p I see how you think but I think you missed the amount of tournaments played. In the february sheet you can see that I played 87 more mtts then the previous month so that I had a slightly higher profit dont mean I did better. I had to drop some of the very profiteble 5-25eur mtts where I likely would have made more money, to make room for more secure podiums (but with less profit). Profitebility must be measured in ROI and/or hourly profit and what is a good ROI is completly dependent on the buy in. Whit that we see that if my avg buy in is 17,24 and I have an ROI of 46% I will make 7.93 eur/mtt. If my avg buy in is 13.89 I will only make 6.39 eur /mtt. This doesnt tell us how long time every mtt lasts but in general the micros lasts as long & often longer then higher buy ins . I also do play on other site(s), which are not stated here & I did have to drop thoose games to make room for more of the micros. This was ofc purely my choice and I really wanna state that im not whining about it even if it might sound like that, I also dont aim to suggest changes that are suiteble just for players like me, I just wanna share my experience and provide the data I have that can be off use when deciding on improvements:) I think its a good idea you have to choose a smaller number of mtts to give out points, I do think it has to be quite many mtts still to make it a good competition but something like 10/day sounds like a really good idea! Thank you again, I really have had a great start to my poker journey and Im fully enjoying both the studying and the grind :atisfied: Hopefully I can step it up a notch this year :D Im definatly in tonight :D See you there!❤️

@Caladrias The Deep Impact is now 5k instead of 4k and didnt completly reach its gtd yesterday (199 entrys total making it rake free+25eur overlay) so top price might have been inpacted by that. I dont have lots of statistict to provide but here is the cashes I could find in my spreadsheet. All except the last 4-5 ish is from when it was a 3k & 4k gtd. Last one is from the new payout structure. I also want big cashes up top, dont get me wrong on that, but it is important to not kill the ROI. And that poker without regs is a rec heaven is a fallacy, without regs there is no gtd:s and then the recs will be gone to.

I have to say im not a fan of this at all. Its not at all suiteble for the tournament structures Unibet is offering with a lot of progressive bounty, rebuy/add on and re entrys. If it is to make for a better experience the mtt offering should be heavely weighted towards freezeout tournaments where I can see that it would benefit recreational players to have a flater structure. With given structures neither people playing for fun or serious benefits from a 17% pay out structure. I understand that people unexperienced with the math might think they want this since they will "cash more often" which might seem good at first sight but accually they will win less and it will be harder to build a bankroll. As a example on why its not a player friendly payout with given mtt structures we can take yesterdys Deep Impact: This is a 25 eur mtt that one can re enter up to 5 times. I think few people reenter as much as that but lets say that you use 2 of your 5 possible re entrys. Previously the min cash was between 78- 90 eur, enough to put you in + even after 1 or 2 re entrys, in yesterdays version one would have to finish 9th(!!) to even cover ones expenses after using 2 reentrys. Then think about how often the averedge player cash the tournament and it gets obvious that it will be hard for anybody to end up +. We can compare this to yesterdays Black Hole, a mtt that have the same kind of structure, 6 max & multiple reentry, the payout structure there hadent changed yet so the min cash was 18 eur, a good 3,6x the buy in, whch gives room to use a couple of the re entrys (that the tournament are deendent on to reach its gtd) and still finish in profit. Im sorry if this sound hard but I was accualy a bit upset about this, it didint at all fit with my view of unibet as a poker site who cares about its players and the poker eco system.

First of all, big congratz on thoose january result @GothMoth, very impressive :) And feel free to spam @XY I like to discuss this things :) I dont agree with the idea you both had about giving different amount of points for 1, 2 and 3rd place. I think there is a value in having it as just a podium challenge and not a regular leaderboard. XY, its not only about how tough the games are, its that to now be able to have a chance one must play all the 1 eur and 2 eur tournaments which I dont think was the purpose. Accually they often have less runners and several times I have ended up sitting there in a 2 eur fireball with 38 runners when late reg closes. I am ready to go for the grind and really love this kind of promos but I should be able to compete with 6 tabeling 5-50eur mtts and getting a podium about 1/10 times. But the current point system makes it mandatory to also get a couple of extra podiums a day from the micro stakes which is unfortunate. I think everybody would benefit from a more balanced point system, the micro players would have much easier collecting points when the higher stakes players dont join their games and the higher stakes players dont have to sacrifice their normal grind. But Im biased from my own point of view ofc and there might be downsides with my idea that i dont see. No matter its really good that we get all opinions out there so Jeppe and the guys have all the information from us players when they evaluate :) We can always copy this discussions to the thread after this month is done :)

Hi guys :D In my last blog I wrote about how exided I was for the Podium Hunter promotion and I was one off the grinders who went hard on it the first couple of weeks! I have now since some days drop out of the race and will make a little rewiew of my experience :) Micro grind It started out being very fun, grinding together with other community members, posting in the thread, making a leaderboard, but the way the points are given out (1p for any 1-24,99Eur mtt with 40 or more entrys and 2p for 25Eur+ with 30 or more entrys) it soon turned into a grind where I was forced to play a ton of 1 & 2eur games to keep up with the volume of podium places. This took focus away from my normal games and even though my total ROI stayed the same my avg buy in droped from 17.24Eur to 13.89Eur meaning I made 20% less profit in accual money then the previous month. Ofc this is not statisticly significant with such a tiny sample but a trend can be noticed and we all know that adding more tables will decrease ones win rate no matter what stake the added tables are. + Its great that the promotion is affordeble for everybody! Anyone with enough time and a 200eur bankroll can easily play all the games needed to win the leaderboard. + Easy to count the points with simple criteria and only 2 levels. - It becomes another micro challenge where you cant win if you dont play the micro stakes. And as mentioned above, adding the micro games is often -Ev for people playing higher. Volume Volume wise I managed to play more in the first 16 days as in the whole of january. I only had 3 days off so it counts up to an averedge of 29,69 mtts / day. Not all of them would count toward the podium hunters since some had to few players and I played some under a different alias. But in total I ended up with about 340 games that counted towards the Podium Hunters promotion which is equvalent to 21,25 Mtts per day. When I stoped I had managed to collect 37 points which at the time was the same as a 2nd place in the leaderboard. + Hard work gets rewarded. - One might have to play more tables then comferteble with and a 1 eur crazy moon á 1 hour gives as many points as a 10eur rebuy/add exoplanet á 7 hours which makes things weird in lack of a better expression. All and all I think its a great promotion that rewards hard work and continuety but as with most new things there is room for improvment and here I think the point system needs to be looked at again. Its amaysing that one can win a UO package playing 1 eur mtts but it should also be possible to win it if you play 5-10eur+. Im sure there will be some adjustments made when the community guys have evaluated everything fom this run and I will definatly give it a go again next time! For now, Good luck everybody still in the race! :atisfied:

@JeppeL ❤️ Im so sorry to hear :scared: Hope you recover fast and without any issues !!
