MetalWolf Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 I've been too quiet for too long so it's time for a post.Just a quick stats update really. Took a profit hit but that's understandable seeing as I didn't manage to cash any of the final events in the UOS. I will wait for the points reset on Unibet before getting serious again and after all that UOS grind it's been nice to take a few breaks and enjoy the sun. Can't wait for Glasgow later on this week. I will be playing day 1a so feel free to say hello and I'll get back to writing more interesting stuff very soon!Total games played: 2134ITM: 631 / 29.57%Total buyin: €16,006.85Total Cashes: €17,479.89Profit: €1473.04ROI: 9.20%Tournament wins: 241x NLH Deep Space2x NLH Deep Crazy Moon4x NLH Fireball4x PLO Fireball1x PLO Singularity3x NLH Wormhole3x NLH Shooting Star2x PLO Shooting Star3x Unibet Online Series Nano Event1x Betting FreerollTitles: 1Q1 2018 Nano Leaderboard Champion 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalWolf Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 Unibet UK Tour Glasgow – Setting the sceneThe day started full of optimism at 5.45 am. It wasn’t my optimism but the optimism of the little one who had obviously heard my alarm going off and assumed he would start the day getting chocolate for breakfast (he has such a way with me). Sadly, for him, Daddy was in no mood and promptly pressed the snooze button. Sleep had not come easy the night before and I wasn’t too confident I could even make it to the end of Day 1 without snoring during the latter levels let alone take any chips through with me.My taxi was booked for 6.45 to go to Wolverhampton train station for a 7.37 train. I finally got up at 6.05 and started throwing things into a bag seeing as I had neglected to do the packing the night before. After downing some quick energy drinks and saying all my goodbyes I waited outside for the taxi, which at 7am had still not turned up. I rang the driver who told me he was on Quarry road waiting for me. I do not live on Quarry road but seeing as the word Tudor and Quarry are spelt much the same and sound very much the same I can see how the driver would have got this mixed up. Of course he tried to blame me but I showed him the booking on an app which produced my address clear as day. An annoying start to the day indeed but at least he got me there on time even if he did have to take a shortcut across a few pavements.I had never been to Glasgow. I had never played poker in Scotland. My aim, as always, was to go there and enjoy myself and getting paid anything was a bonus. This time, though, I was determined more than usual to add a Scottish flag to my Hendon Mob database at the first time of asking. The train journey added to my annoyance. It was full of young adults going to the Transit Music Festival on the same weekend in Glasgow. There was lots of early morning drinking and obscenities. Something I more than accustomed to following football like I do but I asked myself ‘Do I really look like that to other people’. Now was not the time for reflective moments and I put my head in my ‘Halo’ book and ignored it as much as I could, which became almost impossible when I heard the words ‘I can’t wait to see Jessie J she is easily one of the most talented individuals there’… on a lineup that includes Stereophonics, Liam Gallagher and the Killers. Not particularly my cup of tea but I respect what they have done for music at least. I tried hard to continue reading about the Master Chiefs exploits…I arrived at 11.15 but couldn’t check into my hotel until 2pm and so I headed straight to the pub to grab an early pint and get my bearings of the alien city I found myself in. The stories people told me and the image I had in my head of Glasgow was that it was extremely rough and I should be careful, but this is not the first impression I got. Either way, I thought it was a good idea to chill with a beer and Google Maps to make sure I was accustomed to where everything was. Best pubs, best kebab house etc. You know, the essentials.I checked into my brothel, I mean hotel, at 2pm. It was on a busy road of nice bars and eateries but stood out by looking a bit seedy. It was modest, to say the least. I had an en-suite (which to be fair was actually really nice) but the rest left a lot to be desired. Ground floor (didn’t like that). Tv didn’t work, some lights didn’t work and I was maybe an inch too big for the bed, but the bed was at least very comfy. I got myself sorted quickly and made the 1.5 mile walk to the casino where we were due to begin play at 5. Those of you that have read through this blog will probably notice I like a beer (only cryptic references I know). So what better way to make me play worse and fall asleep early than to start with a lager! I went to the pub next door as I was about an hour early before grabbing another one in the casino as I met faces new and old from the community. Actually, beer is a pivotal part of my overall strategy at live events without giving to much away but either way I am always there to enjoy myself first! It was great to meet @MoreTBC and catch up with other forum favorites like @Psycho79 (seems not all the pros were out in Vegas ;) lol) and by this time we were about ready to play as the obligatory rush towards the screens came when everyone’s seats were announced. Table 2 seat 6. An obvious sign for the average hand I would be dealt…No bounties on my table. Good. Anyone that has been a victim of my questionable play in bounties on Unibet will know it gives me more of a chance when there isn’t one to try and donk out! There was a very familiar face in @Psycho79 two to my right who was already greedily eyeing up all the chips he was going to steal from my blind, but other than that I did not recognize anyone from the table and database searches didn’t reveal anything to be worried about.A few words from Simon followed by the iconic phrase ‘Shuffle up and deal’ meant the clock was officially ticking. Good luck me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalWolf Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 Glasgow day 1aIt didn’t take long to realise that overall this was a very weak table with questionable calls, raises and folds coming all over the shop. I felt like by playing ABC I would be able to consistently accumulate chips but as I learned a bit more about each player it became clear where I could get a bit out of line and exploit the situations. Early on I raised K3 sooooted in hearts (looked so nice) in the cut off to be called from the big blind and managed to extract a surprising amount from a calling station on a K high board. He did not look happy when I flipped my hand over but perhaps it was more so because he felt he could of took me off it – certainly at other Unibet events I have felt a lot more pressure more often in these kind of scenarios than I got here. Before the 2nd break though I had ran into what I call ‘an invincible’. An invincible is someone that you come across in a poker tournament that cannot lose, specifically against you. Usually a bad player that is on a personal hot streak against seemingly only you. Whatever hand they play and in whatever scenario they find a way to get there and what is usually more frustrating is they often donk your chips straight away to someone else on the table. Seat one became this player for me and in 4 hands against him I lost all 4 when ahead pre, and took a 60k stack down to 25k. I can’t say that I played any of the hands perfect and by the 3rd time I was definitely over cautious but at the time any two and any draw seemed fine for him. The biggest pot he won off me was with 6 3 having called a raise from cut off. After he called the gutshot flop of A 2 5 I ended up cautiously checking the turn and calling off a small river bet with AQ after the 4 hit. I could not say with certainty that barrelling the turn would have won me the pot. Perhaps I cut my inevitable losses instead by not playing optimally. Suffice to say this player did not last much longer.The one player I was avoiding getting into pots with was @Psycho79. I did not want to get involved with competent players when I felt there was so much dead money on the table and folded a much stronger range pre against him than I did against others. Despite this it would be Psycho that put me to my first big decision of the night and I’m sure he will forgive me if I don’t remember the exact cards that fell but the story kind of went like this. I raised A10 from early and he called me from big. The flop was something like 9 8 2. He checked, I bet and was called. Turn was a 5. Check check. The river paired the board and he bet 12.5k. I know it was 12.5k because it was exactly half my chips. Something I took into consideration when making my decision. It didn’t feel like I was behind but it would of looked pretty stupid to the rest of table to call half my stack off on Ace high. I thought about it. Why did he bet, and why specifically 12.5k which was half my stack? The bet was nearly as big as the pot. It looked like a bet designed to not look weird in comparison to the pot, potentially polarizing, but to make sure I could not call and be wrong. But then why would he want me to call, what does he think I have? I look like I have exactly what I actually do have, which is A high and I wouldn’t realistically call half my stack on A high, would I? He knows I have ace high and a ‘please call me bet’ probably looked more like 7-8k and I could get away calling it. But 12.5k I couldn’t afford to be wrong given blinds were up to 800 at this point I think. So actually he doesn’t want me to call? All this swayed me towards me thinking he had specifically counted my chips and made a bet that looked reasonable but actually psychologically was forcing me to fold. Given that I certainly know Psycho can think this deep I made the call settling on a busted range of 10J, JQ, 710, Q10, 67, 610. He mucked and the table seemed impressed. I commented that ‘We play far too much together Michal’. He smiled and it’s always one of the things I love to see in poker. A nice guy trying to outplay his opponent, but whatever happens playing with a smile.That hand put me back in the game and from then on my stack grew and grew. By this point a player directly to my left was calling or 3 betting me nearly every hand I played. I started to grow concerned that he thought I was a fish and was targeting me. In the end he was another opponent that I ended calling a big ace high hand against to take down a nice pot. I knocked him out not long after when he shoved KQ and I woke up with KK in the big blind. Accumulating chips became very easy using a float flop, bet turn technique that was working perfectly against a loose passive table and by the penultimate level I was up to around 320k. I was so tired at this point and I made a big mistake. I jokingly said ‘nothing silly now just want to take a healthy stack through to day 2’. I then proceeded to be bullied by the naturally stronger field at this time of night who knew I had completely tightened up. There was still time for me to lose quite a lot of chips on a pocket pair that went wrong but not as many chips as chip leader of the table who clashed in one of the last hands of the night with 2nd chip leader. He ended up losing around 400k in chips moving all in on the turn with just a flush draw against a flopped set to the player who would start day 2 a mighty chip leader with around 900k and ultimately go to the final table. I would end the night on 250k with the blinds going upto 6k. I was happy with that and happy with my overall play even though tiredness set in at the end and I gave a bit away. I was very much looking forward to sleep, having a day off, watching the football with a few beers and seeing what else Glasgow had to offer. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho79 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hey @MetalWolf, it was fun to find ourselves at the same table again. I cannot remember actual stacks and bet sizes, but the last one, the river bet was polarized indeed. I think you messed up a bit on the board texture as well, it had straight/flush draws options, most busted on the river, which didn't pair I believe. I also led the turn, before betting the river huge, that's why I was surprised you caught me with A-high, and I don't like this play still 😃 If you decide just to call my turn lead you either capitalize on my river give up or give up yourself with your particular holding. Otherwise you should've raised my turn bet or just fold. What happened was exactly the best possible scenario for you, cause you beat only pure air there, which is not enough to call two streets. I lead there 2pair+, SD and FD combos with middle/bottom pairs. What if I turn A2s/busted FD into polarized bluff on the river, you're still beaten...😛 It's interesting to learn your point of view on that, hope you don't consider me spamming your blog with above :scared: I still won't give away my hand there, I guess I've become too predictable without that 😏 I'm happy you used my chips well later on 👍 And you're right, respecting your opponents and friendly atmosphere at tables are more important than hands results. Cheers Man! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalWolf Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 @Psycho79 Hi mate and thanks for the input! Always welcome on the blog and love to hear your views. Sorry like I said I had forgot aspects of the hand including you leading the turn but my thought process on the river remains the same. I remember now feeling at the time like the turn bet was a blocker designed for you to see a cheap river rather than lead me into value calling. I felt like there was still plenty of chance I could take it away should I feel like the river didn’t help you or even potentially if you think it helped me. The river then didn’t worry me and I felt like it changed nothing so I stick with my original thinking that you busted a draw as I think you check everything else except a set or 2 pair which I had already ruled out. I’m not saying it’s a good call as there is a very small % of times I’m going to be ahead against your ranges. I’m not saying I played it well. But you know my style is ‘play with your heart on your sleeve’ and ‘when you know you just know’. No such thing in my poker book as a bad call at showdown if you show the winning hand 😃 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalWolf Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Glasgow Day 1BI didn’t play poker on day 1B. I never do. One thing I love about poker packages is the opportunity to travel to places I’ve never been and enjoy some time away from the tables.I only slept a few hours before I was up and making my way towards a ‘Subway’ breakfast. Trying to order here was the first time this trip I’d had problems communicating. My Black Country accent proving incompatible with the strong Glaswegian accent from the girl behind the counter. Instead of a ‘foot long sub of the day’ and coffee I ended up with a six inch ‘pizza sub’ and a lemon Fanta. Upon finishing this I went on a mission to discover if the Scottish really do ‘like a drink’. I considered that there must be some very interesting and unusual bars around Glasgow just waiting for me to have a drink in them. I wasn’t disappointed. From whiskey bars to real ale bars there were some really great places to go with my favourite probably being the Rock Café, if only for its smart layout, ACDC memorabilia and pretty display of lights and guitars. I didn’t find Glasgow particularly expensive (certainly not like Brighton!) and I was able to enjoy most places without wincing when a bar maid told me the price. I settled in a bar called The Raven to watch France vs Argentina in what proved to be an excellent match for the neutral to enjoy before moving to a Revolution Bar for the 2nd match. It was here I found out why Glasgow was so rough… and it came in the form of hen parties! I know a lot of people on Unibet won’t necessarily know what one of them is because they only seem to exist in this hellish form within the UK, but it is a group of women celebrating one getting married by going out to be as loud and drunk as possible. The male equivalent (stag do) is usually a lot more gentlemanly occasion where we sip fine wines and take in a countries classical culture :Cheeky: On this occasion there were FOUR different hen parties in the one bar. Recipe for disaster. In short, a bride had a glass thrown at her, a member of security staff was punched and there were wobbly bits all over the place being pushed and shoved from pillar to post. It was at this time I realised I was the only male customer in the bar and rather than turn into prey myself I decided I should probably leave and make my way back towards the hotel. I found another bar local to my bed that showed the game without incident before I grabbed a buffet dinner and a few bottles of energy drink for the upcoming day. 10.30pm I was in bed by. Earliest Saturday night for me for a while but sleep was nearly impossible with various chanting, shouting and general drinking going on outside my bedroom window up until around 4.30am. Poker was not due to recommence until 2pm though so I managed to get enough to feel alert, hangover free and ready to crush the next day… 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalWolf Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 Glasgow Day 2After a couple hours enjoying the Glasgow sun by the river I made my way to the casino for about 12. I sat in the 'Hollywood Bowl' opposite it for a while enjoying a beer and a few goes on the fruit machine. £20 in, £100 out all in coins and a barman that had to help me carry it all to be changed up. Was it my lucky day? I got to the casino about 1 to see who had made it through and what sort of stacks were out there. I had a good chat with UK Tour monster @FeelsBadMan who was still in along with many other forum and twitch members. When the seat draw was put up I changed my mind about it being my lucky day. I had a really tough table which included @pirahn, @MoreTBC and the formidable online crusher @KostenBerg. 43 left, 21 paid, though things would go surprisingly well.Kostenburg took an early exit in a massive allin with Vinny (Pirahn) AK to AA while no coolers seemed to be coming my way. Just good positions to accumulate more chips. An early pivotal hand being when I called a raise from big with 99 and flopped quads. I only called the continuation bet but sadly my opponent shut down after that and, despite tanking for a long time over my polarizing allin, reluctantly folded leaving me wondering wether I had got anywhere near maximum value for the rare hand. It didn't take long for me to move to Adrian's (NMP's) table where I would remain for most of the day later also joined again by Vinny. At the time there was about 35 left and I started to open up and play more poker. It didn't take long for me to get burnt whilst doing so. I raised AA from the button and was called by the big blind. Long story short he flopped an open ended straight flush draw with 9 10 and completed on the river but I think I managed to lose the minimum I could so I was happy as anyone can be in such a situation. Another player on the table was showing bluffs. 3 bet allin bluffs. Proudly smashing hands down with glee as he built a great wall of chip stack. A few before the bubble @FeelsBadMan was not to be fazed and called massive bets down on just A high to take a very large chunk of stack off him. Adrian's stack was massive, whilst the other guy was tilting. I looked down at the next hand from under the gun and saw the perfect opportunity. QQ. The guy was furious with Adrian and was asking his neighbors how such a call could be made. I knew I could grab a huge psycological advantage here with my hand and the situation. I commented that it was a pretty easy call given his image and his bet on the end wasn't too threatening given the pot. I felt like his head would explode with rage and steam was coming from his ears as he shunned my comments as ridiculous and, as expected, called my raise to try and get me back. The flop was Q 9 7. Pretty perfect and I contemplated how to get it all. In the end it wasn't difficult and took just one check to hear the words 'all in' from my opponent. Tilting indeed. I quickly called to see Q10 and wondered if the poker Gods had something sick in store for me. Thankfully they did not and I doubled up to a pretty good stack right before the money. 500k and an average of 430k. But it wasn't to end there...I cruised into the money from then. Adrian dominated the bubble and we joked he would need an extra table for all his chips. I admired his game as bubble play is certainly one of my weakest points. As we lost player after player though I started to leak chips and was down to 530k to a 710k average. And then me and Adrian clashed. I was in the big blind with K2 and from small he called and allowed me to check. The flop was a generous K 4 K. He checked and I felt like betting would be the best option given what I know about NMPfan's game. He called. The turn was a 7 and he checked again. Again I bet but this time he moved allin over the top. I must admit I didn't LOVE the spot but felt that if I was behind here I would just be unlucky in a cooler and didn't think too long before making the call. Adrian had an open ended straight flush draw and I used my 'ONE TIME' to avoid half the deck and instead hit a 2 to give me the full house and take me up to 1.2m in chips. Things were getting serious. It didn't take long to hit the final table from then on. Unfortunately Adrian wouldn't make it but Vinny did. Go Unibet community!!I started the final table with 1.4m in chips and the average being about a million. Last year I final tabled Unibet Nottingham and didn't make the impact I had hoped eventually leaving in 8th. Another player accused me of laddering. I don't think I was trying to but I can certainly still remember a few hands which I would of definitiley played differently. I promised myself that would not happen here and if I went out it's because I gave it my all and I could be proud of myself. There was still 9 left at the dinner break but it wasn't long after before we were down to 6. I took out one of the original 9 with KK after an allin shove pre and me sitting very nicely in the big blind. We played with 6 for quite a while and at the time I think I was chip leader but Vinny was close behind after a massive double up on the river in an overcards vs pair flip. With 5 left a deal was starting to be talked about. The blinds were massive and the average stack was only around 15 bigs. I was still chip leader and was happy to discuss but others not so much. A player who originally rejected the deal then doubled up off me moving allin QJ and me calling off A3. He turned a Q and then all of a sudden was happy to deal. It took some persuading to some but we finally settled on an acceptable deal and played out the game for the trophy and Bucharest package. I felt like it was going to be my day and I had 3 bet allin on Vinny a number of times before we got down to the final 3. Sadly I tried this one too many times and ran my AQ into his AK but I was proud of myself as my chips were pushed his way. I did what I came to do and played as I promised myself. Vinny went on to beat the day 1 chip leader heads up and I couldn't be happier for him. Officially I came 3rd but walked away with the 2nd biggest prize on the night of 6.3k total. I would like to say thanks to all the Unibet staff, casino staff and ambassadors who were magnificent throughout and a massive well done to @pirahn on his win. Lovely guy and deserved winner. Well done to all other cashers and it was great to meet everyone else from the community too. I don't actually have any UK tour packages left but I already have a hotel booked in Brighton so I hope I will see some of you there! I will be updating this blog a lot more often soon (it's been so sunny) and I have a new challenge in mind hopefully with some giveaways so stay tuned for that! Thanks for reading all. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirahn Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 @MetalWolf Thanks for the kind words. Great event and a great venue. The Scotts have a wonderull sense of humour and some were just plain poker nutters. Its worth going just for the banter. It was great to play on a table with so many community members and old friends. @jonny2192 must be the unluckiest live event player ever. Twice rivered with huge hands. @FeelsBadMan killed it close to the bubble. There was a sense of pride knocking the great man out after all the bullying. @Hymn2Ninkasi and girlfriend Lise both getting close to the money, I suggested a prop bet for last longest between the two but quite wisely Espen refused. Lise won the last longest between them. I imagine thats a recurring problem for Espen. My best/worst moment was protecting my big blind against an opponent whom i knew was getting busy with his big stack. I called his raise with 63. Flop 3,10,j. I reraised his bet and got called. Turn was 4, a bet by me gets called again. River i think was a 2. I carried on and made a big bet. The other guy went into thinking mode for about 5 mins. This was that rollercoaster moment when your sitting down and it takes you to the highest point, pausing before that big drop where your brain goes into meltdown. Wtf am i doing here, do i really need to be here, this was a stupid idea. He finally passes and a huge sigh of relief. The final table, only 1 short stacked who became chip leader in a short space of time. I think i played fairly well. My one bit of luck was aq flip to 1010. A on the river. I would say @MetalWolf was probably best player on the final table, making some great calls but the poker gods not always on his side. When down to 4 players, twice @MetalWolf shoved all in to my raise and both times i passed a pair. 22 was easy but 77 was a little harder. Both times it was the right call as he showed aces and kings. It was a shove fest at this stage and thats not something i shy away from. We had decided to split ubo packages for winner and last longest if one of us won it, so the pressure was still on hu. I had a huge lead and i made it count. Will be great to see @MetalWolf in Bucharest. Dont forget my 20%. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalWolf Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 Haha @pirahn I suffered much the same (check my double chin!) thank you also for the kind words. I’m not sure about being the best player but I was just happy to get all the big decisions over the weekend right. Was a pleasure playing with you and everyone else on the final, and as you say the Scots banter is second to none!

MetalWolf Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Quick stat update then! I didn't win anything in yesterday's raffle unfortunately but I have an itch to play poker again after a couple weeks off. So, back to the grind! I really want to do some sort of give away but don't know what the easiest or best ways to do this outside of begging Unibet to let me give something away is? What do e-sporters do? I have bought a good cam for the purposes of delving into the Twitch realm. It's something Ive wanted to do but I admit I am absolutely clueless about how to do it. I now have the means to do it though at least and I'll give it a good look!

MetalWolf Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 Yes, I know. I'm slacking. But I have come to the decision that I will be twitching the next UOS, or at least some of it.... if I can work out how to use Twitch... which is unlikely.... But in anticipation my twitch channel is https://www.twitch.tv/metalwolfpokerI hope I can work it all out and share some of the highlights that will surely come during the next UOS (HA! he hopes....)Focus of today is to win the UK package while all the sharks are in Bucharest :Tongue: 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A must follow :) Hi mate. That's the plan! Or it was... Somethings happened well beyond my control that means I may have to just dip in and out of UOS when I am able to. It's unlikely I will be able to play the whole thing now which makes me sad, but like I say it's out of my hands unfortunately. It will also mean I will most likely have to miss the Brighton stop too. Hopefully things get better soon...I do still plan to do a few streams soon and open myself up to the criticism that brings. I expect there to be a lot. I am not a very orthodox player and as mentioned in this blog quite a few times I play a lot more with gut instinct than maths. Im quirky, often play after a beer or two and I do LOVE a hero call :Tongue:I've no doubt I could be a lot better if I played more orthodox but then I think I'd sacrifice a lot of the fun of my style. I play poker mainly for fun, a top up each month on my full time job wages, and to visit new places. My results are decent enough and I'm happy with the style and level I play at so bring on the twitch trolls I say. Thanks for your interest too, I will be sure to post whenever I plan to go live :Smile: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an article recently from Unibet Esporter 'Hotted89' and in that he talked about his friendship with Vicktor Blom and a piece of advice he had got from him. Blom said always trust your gut. I think it's something obvious but something that many players have given up on and tend to just focus on the maths and mental side of 'he could have this, this and this and I only beat this' and not 'I KNOW he has this, and my A high beats it'. He talked in the article about a million dollar hand he watched Blom call which he says he doesn't think any other player could of made it. He went with his gut. I started poker and grew up in the game watching players like Victor Blom, Tom Dwan and Gus Hansen a lot. A style people were terrified of at the time and they were never afraid to make themselves look daft with a questionable call. I guess that rubbed off on me and I have only tweaked my game since to keep up with the times. Cheers mate I'll still be on here chatting rubbish and updating from the odd games I'm playing. Hopefully won't take too long for things to be ok again and I will defo 100% still be in Manchester! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR1ZZL3R Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I think you're pretty much right with this "gut" analysis. I've read book after book but a lot of it just goes over my head tbh and the micros sometimes defy analysis and if I sit down at cash, within 5 mins or so, I know who I can take on and who to leave alone, and if the tables too tough just leave. I'm happy where I am, never gonna be a world beater, just plodding along, and my enthusiasm has been so rekindled since joining Unibet and the community. Good luck with your endeavours and Manchester is still on the list.👍 4 "It turns out that 75% of all poker players think they play better than the other 75%."
