   I can't say I've escaped the Microverse but at least I'm showing a profit over all the formats of poker offered by UB. The Christmas Missions were (nearly) completed with a fair (micro standards) profit and a few larger size mtt tickets to play with. The one thing I've got to grips with better is the variance, seeming to go long periods,10,000 hands or more, and feel I'm getting nowhere, but still be up a few BB/100. I simply don't play enough hands or time to get an accurate picture, I want to carry on but it's not a priority. I've just withdrawn some cash and the total net withdrawal figure has climbed another small amount, so maybe I'll settle for that. 

I'm going to drop this blog but start a new one for the New Year, Good Luck all and Run Good.

I finished the Santa Flips last night, managed 5 in a row and a few more BP's. 😬

Looked at the new monthly missions, maybe, maybe not.

Day 31

   A nice steady finish, 31 (weird number?) cash game flops to see.

   Sadly didn't get the avatar for completing them all, well done SScherby (said through gritted teeth 😬)  and well done (in advance) HG, commiserations to the Machine and either 👍 or 👎 to everyone else.              

   I played out the bronze flips last night (last two and 19 silver later today) and made it to level 6 (400 BP) once. With all the various tickets won, including a €250 SuperMoon (flip) and a €50 Major (free roll) + various bits of cash and other tickets, I think I'm very well ahead of the curve now.

   The other major takeaway I've realised is that the various forms of poker are not to be frightened of, I've eventually learned to cope with some of the different tactics and nuances concerning Hexas, Banzai and the rest. I presume the missions are designed to get players playing all sorts of variations that they wouldn't normally play, but I do think that most of them are pretty boring and pointless, not providing any opportunity to actually try to play for some target. Sitting for a couple of hours playing Hexas waiting to be dealt AA is never going to be exciting for a newcomer to the game, at least trying to win some hands from the button or doubling a starting stack might tend to keep some players more involved. I'm hoping they could be revamped, especially for the ten year anniversary coming soon, more interaction would be welcome. 🥴

   So unless there's anything else, that's it for now and a 

to everyone.

Day 30

  Having 3 x €1 Hexa tickets to play with I decided to use them. 

   No 10 x multiplier but 3 wins from 3 was a nice start to the day, so then on to the 0.20c ExScreams. 😱

Twenty five attempts later... the 10 x hit but it wasn't a disaster, in fact it went quite well, €1 profit and 14/25 wins, a nice change of fortune. 😍  Or was it? Am I running better or playing better? 🤔

Why when i have a PP, 50% of time the villain have a PP also...

   An absolutely fascinating supposition, could you follow it up with a bit of evidence please so we could discuss this further?

Day 29 Part 2

   I'd flipped one of the 1e tickets gained and won a 5e ticket so put it to practice for the SuperMoon (next year) Four bounties won and a bit of cash, it all adds up, and when running deeper in these bounty tourneys you  start to see some of the attraction of them, (not fully converted yet though.)

     Not very spectacular I know (outlasted 168 others though) but it shows the old boy still has something left in the locker. 🤑 

   Time to open one of the prezzies.  🥃

Days 24 25 26 27 28

  Day24

   So having had the stuffing (Xmas ref #1 🎄) knocked out of me and being busy wrapping and packing for a Christmas stay over I really hadn't the time (couldn't be bothered) playing 3 MTT's. 

Day 25

   Having had a very merry 🍾🍺🥃  (#2 🎄) Christmas Eve, a good night's sleep, and an hour or so before any of the family were likely to wake, I played PLO to hit the flushes, fairly quickly and profitably, the 3rd one being the best.

That gave me a ticket to a flip tourney and a very pleasant surprise the morning after.

  😍

I wish it could be Christmas every day! (#3🎄)

Day 26

   A bit of run good on the Hexa front for a change, only 6 needed to get into the 10 x (lost that one 😢) but made a nice profit.

Day 27

   Dealt QQ pretty quickly, 15th hand, actually the third on that particular table. 🙂

Day 28

    Expecting another nightmare on the Hexas, and yes it was extremely aggravating and frustrating, 🤬  but if I ever started winning all ins anywhere near the percentage I should I could crush these games. 🤣 To be fair, 40 games played, 1 at a time, 1 hr 45 mins, 323 hands both times dealt AA won, 🙂 (lost twice with KK 😭) 12 games won (almost very nearly just about average) and 1E profit. 

So now up to date and much happier, when life gives you lemons make lemonade.

I'm sorry to see this topic quiet, and I hope @GR1ZZL3R don't mind if I take over it. 

Not at all, jump in anytime. 😇

The missions are a bit boring and monotonous,

Agreed, if I was going to rate them on a scale 1-10 most would be a 1.🤔

They pay people to fix these things, and I am not one of them. Maybe if they were more generous I might consider allocating them more of my time,

you've been playing on the site for free, for more than two years 🙂

  Playing free for two years, obviously not generous enough! Give her two scratch cards a day for the rest of the year!

Day 24

   I've just checked in for today's mission and to my horror noticed that the daily count, 22/25, is one short. 

   Checking all dates shows that yesterday's date is showing greyed out, not completed.

How I've done that I've no idea, the last hand history shows with a yellow belt so I've obviously jumped the gun and stopped too quickly.

This has upset me a little but just carelessness on my part and sort of rounds off what hasn't been my best year of poker, (not much different from any other really,) so the missions are over for me. I'm going off later this afternoon for 2-3 days with family, no more poker till the New Year (it would have been a struggle) so best wishes and good luck to everyone still going.

That's just one of the main things wrong with the world these days, I'm not going to do it or even try, I'll leave it up to someone else. Not my problem just covers everything.
