@Rushbie  just  @WuDu attached the flag !!! (state symbols) of the lgbt community to my nickname. But since I am very smart, I will say one thing sooner or later he will answer for it. I'm a stand-up comedian - Public person. But he deliberately wanted to offend my honor and dignity. Playing with fire 😃

I doubt they give ratsass what they are called when they are trying to light fire with ice cubes in their iglus so they can have cooked seal instead of raw which hopefully still is outside of iglu and not stolen by polarbear so they don't have hunt down, wrestle and gut it in order to get seal back half digested :D

On the other hand white trash from suburbs don't have to do anything physical for their meal so they have lot of unused energy to upset their minds with all this nonsense.

lol hi everyone so thought I'd get some goals down for the future and update a bit with where things are at. 

Life things are going really well. Haven't drank alcohol for over 4 months now and that's a huge journey, learning how to find true contentment in life etc. but moving along nicely :) since winning the last bet i celebrated with you guys, i lost a few bets and also won another good bet so overall profited even more. What I'm even more pleased with is that I had the presence of mind and self awareness to realise these big wins don't come along often in life and I need to make the most of them. So the other day I took time outs on any betting sites i got access to (and took a time out from sports book on Unibet) to avoid the tempation of placing any more bets. When you win a lot it can be tempting to bet again, but that will always end in giving it back unless you know when to stop, so very pleased with my actions there!

I treated myself to a new laptop which is great as i can work while travelling now, and I'm planning to get away for a bit soon. When I played in our tournament here in the thread i played from a hotel, as i took a couple of days away to chill :) but am back home now. 

So here are my goals for poker and this blog in the next month:

• Play 200nl (yes 200nl!) i think I'm up in the 2 sessions I played but not too sure, played a couple of sessions when away, but anyway going to have a decent go of playing 200nl for a month and see how that goes. Going to deposit like 4 stacks, and if they run out deposit some more. 
• Mix in some Hexapro's if a decent jackpot looks imminent.
• Improve my game technically each week.
• Work on the never ending life work of mastering emotions at the table.
• Play any tickets I get. 

Cheers have a good weekend all!

Hey guys, poker has been going pretty well, I played about 5 sessions at 200nl since last post, just 1 tabling. I prefer to one table and focus on the action than playing more than one table. 😃

I just had 1 losing session which is nice, and am up about 4 stacks. Here's latest bankroll:

I been thinking a bit lately what I want to do with poker,  and I think I might start a challenge to practice learning a bit but without playing 200nl online regular, maybe I'll do a challenge taking 5 buyin shots up, and 10 buyin move down starting at 4nl, to give me something fun to try.

Reason I say that is because when I inevitably start losing some stacks at 200nl I think it will be really annoying to me even though its totally part of the process of playing winning poker. 

I would rather play in a live casino, at least can travel then and see some fun sights instead of your wall and computer but because of covid can't at the moment

Hope you all have a great weekend:)

Hey @SkilfulPoker !

I know lots of guys already wrote about this topic in your tread, so I will maybe repeat something in my post. Two words: bankroll management! For me this is the most important thing at poker these days. With all respect you are going to go broke at NL200 with your now 9 buy-ins. My advice is to consider this and follow more strict rules about bankroll management. Don't know what the rules are for cash games, but everything under 25-30 buy-ins seems to me way too small.

[FunckyFish]

Maybe he has 50 more buy-ins in his bank account. You can deposit in 5 seconds more, why to keep all the money in Unibet account?

Exacrly. Sure that balance is low if it is only bankroll for playing but overall i find it good way to manage your bankroll/gambling money to not keep them all in your betting account.

Thanks for comments guys, so its Saturday! Despite what I said in my last post, I ended up playing 400nl tonight :happyshy:

All my sessions last week were 200nl, and I didnt really fancy playing tonight but wanted to as it's saturday and it seems v bad to call yourself a poker player and not play Friday/Saturday night if you can

400nl definitely held my focus! 

Here's a hand I captured what do you think of it guys?

I have yet another plan for my poker I think im going to stick to. PLAY UOS XI ! My poker plans seems to change as often as the wind changes direction, so might as well play some great games in the process Not sure if im going to try to satalite in, or try to win some from cash games, or maybe buy in direct as done well this week and am up about the entry!

Anyone else planning to play it or satelite in? How are you guys finding UOS generally? I havent played any events! 

I do still have 25 euro ticket to play from the blog mtt also :) 

Im going away tomorrow for a bit so will have nice calm environment during main event and can also do some mtt study before, so seems like perfect recreation and who knows might get lucky ? Reminds me of this

Hopefully it can be one of us

[nightshopper]

I think it's a good thing not to have your whole bankroll on your Unibet account, but maybe it's an idea to decide how much your virtual bankroll is. For instance: you have 9 buy-ins on your Unibet account and when you go 'broke' you can deposit again, but you put a limit to that. This may also be a way to protect yourself.

[SkilfulPoker]

Thats a good idea nightshopper. I don't think i'm ever going to be a "poker grinder", like someone that plays 8 plus hours a day online to make a living from poker. 

I really love the game, but when playing for long periods of time over a number of days, I find it loses its appeal a bit and also becomes a bit of a grind. I haven't done that in years, and never at mid stakes, but I think this self awareness is important

I'm up like €1100 just from playing cash poker past 8 days online, so even though its not very good bankroll managenent, I'm pretty sure i'm going to play UOS XI main event and the €100 rebuy next weekend, I think it should be an exciting and enjoyable experience, also great motivator to improve my mtt game over the next week or so. 

I just got to decide how to practice now and what games to mix in , in sessions before. I'm looking forward to getting into the atmosphere of UOS in the community also, see if any members are playing any events going forward or how they have been getting on in any they entered, also watching some training.

Have a great Sunday ✌️

K4s hand looks pretty standard, also have to mention that button is a rec? Didn't start with 100bb's so the way you played it is even more standard, no need to be trappy and just raise turn as we are OOP and can charge his TP and draws. Don't see another way of playing this OOP tbh.

And yep, I understand what you say about winning that amount of money as that is pretty significant compared to real work money lol. But I agree with others and I'm sure you already know it anyway that bankroll management is pretty important as sooner or later you'll hit that inevitable downswing. I don't think shot taking is that bad if you have enough behind and also when you know at what point to stop even if you want to shot take with 2 buyins and if it's gone it's gone and you return to your previous stake or something like that. Maybe not conventional but I can see some logic in it especially if you only play poker on the side.

[Sparrow473]

Am I the only one here who thinks this is as fake as.... 2 months ago you started this blog with this:

"My plans for poker are: 

• Grind some 10nl.
• Grind some 10 euro HUSNG's.
• Grind some 10 euro 5man HUSNG's.
• Play some MTT's now and again.
• And... mix in some Unibet Open sat's so a bit of everything really. "

Now you are playing NL400 saying "I don't think i'm ever going to be a "poker grinder""...

Just a fkin big LOL :) Unibet has not a better idea to make everyone give up bankroll management and the respect of the game (to spend more money?)... Shame on me for these kinds of ideas came into my mind...:Rofl:

EDIT: Maybe I wont be too popular with this, but had to write out. And no, I am not jelaous. If you are a real person, I am really curious about your opinion.

[SkilfulPoker]

What up people, dropped a few stacks at 400nl today, which was always genna happen at some point

Just registeted for UOS XI ! Looking forward to this :)

Might play the hundred rebuy also on same day depending on how i'm feeling. Will be flying the community flag in the ME anyone else going in for it? ✌️

Writing this from a hotel life is going well, it's amazing what you can achieve with some quality of mind and dedication, now just need to bink the main event  

Gl at the tables!

[FunckyFish]

Good luck @SkilfulPoker 

I will try 2-3 qualifiers this week, 1.1k it's too much in this moment for me 😃-

[GR1ZZL3R]

Good luck in the main event @SkilfulPoker I'm playing the E130 €25 this coming Friday courtesy of the €2 tickets I gained in your private game which I managed to convert into a buy in, so thanks for that. 👍 Hope the rungood continues for you but I just have to say it, your BRM sucks. 🤣 Then again it only sucks if you fail, so good luck again. 👍 Hope we both :cash:

[FreedoM]

@SkilfulPoker Congrats but also be careful your a couple of bad decisions away from crossing the line into having a real problem and joining @Magicadil into the Club. :scared:

[SkilfulPoker]

Hey @FunckyFish good luck in the qualifiers mate, great way to get entry, hope you bink a ticket!

Hey @GR1ZZL3R nice one, gl for Friday, will be awesome for you to get a deep run in it, i'll keep an eye out in your blog for updates :)

Hey @FreedoM thanks for kind words of caution, and for linking to Magicadil, I hadn't seen Magicadil's post and it's really sad to read about what happened, but also really promising and hopeful that Magicadil was able to take steps to move his life forward from that, much respect to him. His story and honesty is a sure reminder to us all to go into placing any bets or wagers on sports or poker with our eyes open, and to always be self aware totally! Also just to mention on that, Jeppe's response is typical of Unibet, this site is so caring, and for players, it also has the best responsible gaming features i've seen on any site.

My blog here is not the one to read if you want good advice or role models about bankroll managament that's for sure! :Haha:

But I am self aware guys, and I appreciate your words of caution. Truth of the matter is I am as financially secure and well off as I have ever been in my life. I don't say that to brag! I say it just to reassure you guys that everything is on track here with poker. The reason i'm doing so well financially is two huge reasons: 

1) I stopped drinking alcohol. When drinking alcohol I wasted any money i got from working. Since stopping drinking i've been able to make more thoughtful decisions and use money as an economic tool, which is now how i see it. 

2) My huge beting victory earlier in this blog. Since i won that bet, despite betting once since then (here and somewhere else once and not losing any money), I haven't placed any more bets. Reason for that is i want to enjoy my winnings and 'win' from them. I can only do that because i'm self aware which is why i took a break from any sports products i got access to.

The 1100 euros i bought into UOS XI with was money i had set aside to play poker with. My last deposit was 800 euros onto unibet about a week ago and i'd essentially written it off as soon as I'd deposited it, because playing 200nl knew there was a high risk of ruin! But it just so happens over the span of a week I ended up profiting to the tune of 300 euros :) so thought why not go ahead and play this awesome event. 

It will be almost the largest event i've played. i played a live event which was £1000 buy in once, which i won entry to in a £200 satelite :) and i got knocked out of that set over set, with second top set on the turn, and was pleased with my play! 

Rest assured though guys I'm playing this event because i love the Unibet vibe, and I want to play in a big tournament, i'm not playing it out of desperation to win money, i'll be sad if I don't cash xD but hey if i don't i'm still by the beach for another few weeks, and doing as best in my life as i ever have, so we are safe here guys! And any money i play with on Unibet I will continue to play with, with my eyes open! 

Cheers all good luck in your Unibet journeys this week!

[Sparrow473]

Nice to read that you clarified the circumstances, @SkilfulPoker ! You should 've start with this!😉

Good luck at the tables!

[Sparrow473]

Am I the only one here who thinks this is a bit suspicious that the guy disappears right after these circumstances were clarified?🤔

Hopefully nothing special happened to him because of the big losses...
