  1. Good :Heart::Hearts::Heart: mate. If I ever pull my finger out I may join you.
  2. I completely agree with your sentiment @psrquack. What I will say though is at UO Dublin (my first ever UO), I was treated extremely well by the Unibet team even giving me an extra night at the hotel for free as I had missed my flight due to making the final table. The whole featured table/final table experience was very TV like and although at the time I must admit I felt it was a bit too much having to wear microphones, walk onto stage like a celebrity etc, looking back at it now I think it's only good for the game. When I first got into poker around 2007, TV poker was quite big in the UK and it was the ambition of many of us newer players to one day get to be one of those guys. Even after 11-12 years I must admit that I felt a massive excitement getting an opportunity like that at Dublin (not quite TV but you know what I mean). That dream doesn't die no matter how long you play poker in my opinion, which is why I agree that Unibet need to do whatever they can to engage their community and get people wanting to be at their tournaments. What I will say though is I do feel there is a lack of connection between the community and the Unibet ambassadors. Obviously I can go and watch them on Twitch if I want but I can't remember ever seeing any of them (other than DaVitsche - probably spelled that wrong) on the community. I do appreciate some of them have their own tournaments or freerolls on the site but I don't believe that achieves what a community blog or occasional write up would. Just my two cents.
  3. I'm not sure 8% rake on two accounts would even make the games beatable tbh. You'd need something like a 70% win-rate just to breakeven.
  4. It's funny, when I met Patric/Kris/Leo in Dublin I said to them I had dabbled on the community before but mainly used Twoplustwo poker forum instead because it appeared that this place was full of bad beat/rigged threads. I've given it another go and there are some really good people here but at least 30-40% of the threads on here are absolute tripe about people losing 1 all in or calling someone out for making a super standard shove in Banzai.
  5. Another day, another dollar (or 251 euros). Super small grind as you can see but gets the job done in terms of profit for the day.
  6. I'll paypal you the 1c buy in if it makes you feel better.
  7. Jeez, time flies when you're not playing poker. Since my last post it says 3 weeks but it feels like only a few days. I must admit that the downswing I've had in the past month equates to somewhere around 10k when you total Unibet, other poker sites, sports betting and a few casino games. It's horrible, I've not streamed a single session as a result, I've done everything I can to not play poker, I have no motivation and even since I've started playing again properly on Unibet the last few days I am aiming for purely financial goals over volume, which isn't good. Unfortunately there are bills to pay and the downswing has eaten a fair chunk of my bankroll obviously so needs must. I'm looking to just make anything from 100-200e per day but in the past 3 days I've only managed a pathetic 104 games. I just really can't be bothered anymore. I imagine (and hope) that I will feel different in due course but the mental anguish of downswings affect you with a complete lack of motivation and confidence. A month or so ago I'm sitting there thinking I'm going to crush anyone and everyone, today I sit here wondering if I can even beat the 25s. You start to question everything when you're on a long downswing, it feels like all of your bluffs get picked off, it feels like they never call when you have it and I likely fold too much at times because you get it into your head that they always have the goods. The plan is to just get through this rough patch mentally by grinding as few games as possible while still being able to support the household and until I'm feeling ready to be that guy that wants to play 200 games in a day. Anyway, without further ado:
  8. There's nothing more specific than that, if you don't see it then it won't be there.
  9. Account history -> transactions
  10. Lol of the week. Let me translate this: Hey, i do anything for freeroll ticket :puking: Lol of the week. Let me translate this: Hey, i do anything for freeroll ticket :puking: As soon as a freeroll is mentioned everyone wants in!
  11. You brought Play Analyst into this. I don't know him, I don't know whether he's new to poker or not, whether he's new to the community or not and I felt that it was out of order for you to do that when as above, I can clearly show you saying idiotic things. I'm done here, you're not worth wasting any more of my time.
  12. No different to you trying to take the piss out of Play Analyst. Don't let the door hit you on the way out mate.
  13. Obviously JT is not a favourite against AA but if you want to start making people out as idiots I am happy to do that. I mean we have a guy who claims he's been playing poker for 13 years loving Unibet because he's ran good in micro MTTs over a massive sample size of TWO. "Left Stars recently. Had a bad feeling about the whole thing. Now playing at Unibet. Must say, it's like heaven. Never experienced a place with so many bad players. I have played 2 mtt's so far ,finished 2nd and 3rd" So you have a bad feeling about Stars, but now you're questioning Unibet? Maybe you should play chess if you think poker sites are out to get you. "Bad beat over and over again playin the hexapro. Will stick to plo cash, I reckon. Or I will quit UB too..." Then you make a stupid assumption based on one all in with absolutely no context to stack sizes or situation of the hand: "Let people have whatever nicks they choose. I find that some nicks are actually tells. There is this dude "Mmbajs". Tells me this is a young man on the nerdy side with a big head. And sure enough, he called my TT shove with TQ. " Then you make another stupid suggestion that you are losing 70/30s for weeks. I mean, obviously Unibet are out to get you and they want to make it impossible for you get anywhere, just because they have it in for you! "I am just suggesting there is the incentive. Then about the running bad. I am not referring to a few hands, am I? I am talking weeks here losing +70/100 being favourite. Including multiple 1-2-3-4 outers and runner runner suck outs. Over and over again. It is just impossible to get anywhere almost all the time" I mean I've built up a bankroll from very little many, many times on Unibet, so maybe they like me? Is that how it works? It's obviously impossible to build up a bankroll on Unibet when I'm only up £14k on the site. Then again, it looks like you're done with another site (despite you claiming you are not suggesting it's rigged in a previous post of yours): "Argevolen, thank you! Btw, I'm done here. I can't rid myself of this bad feeling, so I have decided to quit playing at Unibet. " Hopefully we won't have to read your tripe anymore but it's a shame for the rest of us that you've been removed from the player pool.
  14. You sure it was Terry Pratchett? I thought it was Unibet players.
  15. I once shoved 33 in Banzai so you can add me to the list please.
  16. In all seriousness I've just calculated the odds of being dealt the exact same two cards as someone else then seeing the exact same flop cards in the exact same order as just under 1 in 156 million. I guess we can rephrase what we see on Unibet as 6 in a billion.
  17. This one time on Unibet I had aces and I lost, what are the chances?
  18. I backed Krajinovic and Scyzmek (sp?) tonight, a nice result with the first one but I had double the stake on Tim S as he was evens and he loses the 3rd set tie-break from a great position, super frustrating. Only small stakes though, thanks for the tips Andrei.
  19. As I said, my response was to many posters not just yourself. I'll stop posting about it when they stop moaning it's rigged.
  20. My response was not just to you but to many posters I've seen on these forums, however, for someone that claims to have played online for 13 years your post about running good all of a sudden looked very much the opposite. Of course I've had those feelings, I'm experiencing those feelings right now (just see my above post or my blog on here), but that doesn't mean I believe that Unibet has a switch over whether I run good or not. It would be beneficial for them for me to run good given the additional rake they would earn from me for a start. With regards to the more action, more rake theory, what additional revenue as a percentage do you think they would gain from this? Is that number worth risking their whole business over if they're proven to be fixing their games? They're a multi-million pound business with poker making up just 2% of their revenue. If this "fix" added 20% to their revenue then that's less than 0.5% of their overall revenue, doesn't really seem worth it, does it? Take a look around this forum, the majority of posts seem to be bad beats, how Hexapro is rigged, how casino games are rigged, bla bla bla. I don't know how the Unibet guys can sit there and respond politely day in day out to be honest.
  21. That's not how table balancing works. On Pokerstars, if there are say 25 players left in a 6 max, then the table that busts the player in 25th will move its players to the 4 other tables, whereas in a live setting, it'll likely be the highest numbered table remaining that moves its players (so if 5 tables left, table 5 will break). I'm not sure how exactly it works in Unibet but stack sizes are irrelevant.
  22. So because you posted in a thread being suspicious about a site rigging their RNG you believe that they clicked a button which instantly made you run good and then you wonder why people are trolling you? Seriously the most frustrating thing about reading bad beat threads or people complaining a site is rigged is their evidence consists of like one ❤️♥️❤️ hand. Oh look I had a 80/20 and lost, it must be rigged against me. Oh look I won a tournament after posting on a forum, they must have made it so I win. Jesus christ, I don't mean to be rude but people are so clueless. It's called variance, it's the reason why poker has bad players win and good players lose at times, otherwise we may all as well go and play chess which has no luck involved. I'm currently on one of the worst downswing in my 11 years of playing poker over several million hands, probably lost around 10k in the last 3 weeks over thousands of SNGs, Hexapros and tournaments. I literally cannot win at the moment. I even had this on a Stars home game with some mates just to emphasise: Some of you would never play poker again by the sounds of it if you lost with quads. It happens, it's super frustrating but it happens. @MetalWolf lost AA vs KK vs AK for a 2k euro package the other night, do Unibet have it in for him as well? I know I'm probably coming across like a ❤️♥️❤️ here but I'm in a horrible downswing and I have to read posts about people who lose 1 70/30 in a freeroll and think the whole of online poker is rigged or how you haven't hit the jackpot multiplier in 15 games of Hexapro. Get a grip. If you have 1.05m people flipping a coin 20 times predicting heads or tail, statistically speaking, one of these people will get it wrong all 20 times. That seems mental, 20 times, but that is maths. The human brain is terrible at comprehending variance, we always remember what happens against us and not for us but sometimes you need to take a step back and look at the factual side of things. Rant over, sorry if I hurt any of your feelings.
