Hi @EugenicistGates, do you not think 10c is too expensive for some people?  I don't think that is promoting responsible gambling.  I propose that all buy ins are removed from games on this poker site.  What do you reckon? ... View more

Thanks @CuteRaven MTTs are probably the least impacted by streaming but I think Hexas could be ok depending on how often you're playing the same regs. With regards to the 25s, I don't doubt that I could sit here grinding 8-10 hours a day and beat them fairly comfortably but with smaller edges these days and a real boredom of grinding against regs, it's just not worth it for me. I need something fresh and that's why I'm transitioning into 6m hypers. ... View more

I don't like to be negative about the situation or Unibet because having worked with Stubbe in the testing group I can't emphasise how many different things he's working on at once and he's only ever been good to me with anything I've needed, such as refund for disconnections or issues with suspected unethical/cheating players. That being said, I spoke Patric, Kris and Leo when I met them in Dublin at the back end of 2018 just before Hexas were introduced and I had just quit my job to grind HUSNGs where my rec traffic was about to be decimated. I told them my fears then and it looks like they've become a reality. SNGs are all but dead imo and I think the lack of promotions around them shows that Unibet are happy for the focus to go solely on high rake Hexas. 18 months ago I used to grind the 25s to print money variance free, nowadays it's just full of regs. I've seen many regs drop down from 50s/100s to 10s/25s, myself included. Add to that I've ran horrific at the 100s+ over the past year it's just culminated in me losing a lot of passion for HUSNGs and ultimately looking elsewhere. I tried the 5 man SNGs as mentioned above and I know from speaking to @Dennis_ that they're very reliant on him and 2 other regs playing otherwise they rarely run at the 25s+, plus too slow for my liking. I'm not going to talk specifics about other sites here as it would be unfair but I am starting to believe that other sites are taking better approaches in terms of SNGs, traffic, rakeback, liquidity etc. I've massively enjoyed my time playing on Unibet (apart from the downswings!) and of course the community but for now I need to look after myself and play where is going to be most beneficial to me. I hope that I can come back and grind on here again but it won't be under the current format (would need some seriously lower rake on Hexas or HUSNGs I think). I also miss streaming, it's something I really wanted to get into regularly but with the information I was giving away it became massively -EV for me. GL to everyone! Feel free to PM me for info on where you can follow my progress. ... View more

Hey, thanks for the message. I used to think Unibet was the softest site but as you say the games have become very reggy and at the 25s the RB is around 15% which is pointless. I’ve been playing some $10 6 max hypers on Party as the 5 mans on Unibet are generally too slow for my liking and although I’ve only been playing them 3 days I’m #1 ranked on Sharkscope for April ...

Well it's been a while.  I'm too tired to write a really long blog post but I have all but hit a wall with heads up.  I tried splitting action between Party and Unibet but I've just been running so horrifically bad that volume has been awful and motivation is at an all time low.  Toyed with the idea of MTTs for a while but decided to give the 5 man SNGs on Unibet a whirl for now.  Started at the 10s tonight, 9 tabling.  The new time to act is making it really hard though, was timing out all over the shop. Good session to start with: Obviously ran good to cash 51% of games but definitely ran bad heads up.  27bi profit not to be sniffed at.  Will be back at it tomorrow! ... View more

I've heard that when 5 players register for a SNG, @Stubbe-Unibet receives a phone call asking which player he selects to win. He generally chooses based on how funny he finds each of the aliases and the dealer then finds some nice coolers and beats in favour of said player. They're preset though but there are lots of good ones to choose from. My favourite is when you have 43 and you river a flush vs J8. ... View more

The problem with the 5 max games on Unibet is the players seem to have no understanding of ICM so you really need to be adjusting to the situation table by table as opposed to just using ICMizer ranges. Dropping down should do wonders for your confidence, gl. ... View more

Not a chance any reg has that at the $10s+, I played a few the other day and the games had 5+ regs because of the leaderboards and RB. ... View more

What if it's a freeroll for the biggest losing players on the site? I wouldn't want people to know my alias is one of the biggest losers, therefore it makes no sense for Unibet to reveal the criteria. Pretty sure it's not for that but I'm giving you an example as to why it's not always beneficial to share criteria. What I don't get is Unibet have stated it's private and you need to be invited, why can't people leave it at that? There's a massive sense of entitlement from those that rake the least. ...

Even with a 7% ROI you're going to lose 3% of the time over 656 games (heads up) and if your true ROI were say 2% (just for example), you're going to lose 29% of the time. I wouldn't worry too much but if you're battling a lot of regs then it's not surprising to have some big swings. ... View more

Woke up today feeling really lethargic; arms still felt heavy from my weights session the other day, I was tired and skipped the gym (not a good start, definitely going tomorrow though!).  I wasn't going to play today but decided to get a few games in once the gf went to bed.  Games are pretty dead, I made a bit earlier at the 25s with a couple of 50s thrown in and this reg sits the 25s who I've played a bunch before.  He's been around forever and I talked about him a fair bit in my previous blog; he's super aggro, has pretty bad sizing and will 4-5 table for hours.  There's a reason why he was a 100s reg this time last year in my previous blog and now he won't even play me at the 50s, he's just not very good.  On the other hand, I can never, ever seem to get the better of him, so I've decided there's not much point 4 tabling him for a bunch of variance tonight, let's just book a win and get ready for tomorrow.  I honestly believe I have an edge but with someone as aggressive as him, card distribution is a big factor because you're getting shoved on a lot, attacked when you limp and check/raised relentlessly on flops.  I'm sure we'll battle again, but not at 2am when I'm still a bit groggy from the weekend.  Lost a couple of BI to him but no biggy. Graph for the session: I'm sat at the 50s lobby but games are dead so may just call it a night.  Tomorrow we are back for business.   ... View more

Just a quick update.  The next few days are probably going to be a complete write off, decided to go out for a few drinks/food with the mrs tonight and we're out with friends tomorrow night so will not likely get much volume in tomorrow or Sunday.  I guess we start properly on Monday  Had to go back to the vets again today and then went to the gym so only managed 11 games (very poor) but the wonderful thing about the mid-stakes is you can win an average day's salary in not much time at all.  I probably earned more than my gf in an hour or less than she did in a whole day! Lovely jubbly.  See you all on the other side of this alcohol fuelled weekend.   ... View more
