It really all depends @CuteRaven I played tight but lost a big hand with KK v 99 to cripple me. Somehow I got back from in the twenties with 4bb ( 1lucky all in) and limped into 9th.  ... View more

You certainly can't call the Community League the tightest set of players except around the bubble, that took a while. Personally I fold but then again I'm one of the tighter ones. ... View more

Nice to see a community member win a big ticket, but I don't suppose you need congratulations or any of that emotional human nonsense.  Bankroll: Keep €100 for the mini-main tourney to be run alongside the Main, in case you don't qualify for that by any other means. Use €250 for 1 shot at a €50 tourney and 2 at a €100 tourney, maybe the Supernova, but don't rush into them this weekend, take some time, maybe a shot or two in the couple of weeks before the main to build up to the big one. I would suggest withdrawing €100 to treat yourself to some fancy trinkets or baubles, but again that's a mere human reaction so may not apply. How about a little light reading course,  or treat yourself to some new programmes.     just for the sheer amusement, again may not be relevant. Whatever's left use as your normal bankroll. ...

I'm sure these are busy times for you now and your workload will have increased, so I'm just wondering if there are any red flags that come up with new accounts that warrant further checks. We see new community members complaining about having to verify adresses or bank details, but I can't recall having to do any of that when I opened my account, I deposited and played straight away. Do you have any figures for the number of accounts being refused and any strange reasons why some are not accepted?  ... View more

This question was asked in another thread, one I'd already pondered so I'll bring it up here.  I like playing a session of roulette now and again but when I check the casino tourneys they always seem to be based on turnover, basically rewarding those with the bigger bankrolls that can chuck more money on the tables. In effect you're saying the more money you have the more money you can win, (possibly to offset your losses.) I can quite happily sit at a roulette table for a couple of hours and play £1 at a time but will never be able to compete in something like this, and can only see this increasing turnover as players play more to stay on the leaderboard. Is this responsible gambling?   ... View more

In my experience people enjoy bad beat stories more when they're telling them, only listening to others so they can outbadbeat each other.  Keep them coming, gives us an excuse to post our own.  ... View more

@CuteRaven  Thanks for the analysis, I must say you're not far wrong with your assessment of my style. I know this might sound like a bit of a whine but I swear it's true, I am 0lucky as far as cards are concerned, but I absolutely cannot accept that as an excuse for losing, it flies in the face of all logic and has to be put aside for the time being. I could reel off the facts and figures to show this but I'll leave that to other 0unluckier members (if there are actually any  ) I think the flopped set of Aces was when I was going through the losing of the cash tickets that I was just trying to get over with as quickly as possible, the culmination of yet another horrific run, my mindset was just not in balance at the time. Flopping top set I would more likely check the flop, or small c-bet, and see if villain would bet for me. If there was a check back then I would bet the turn, there are so many passive players that won't build any sort of pot so you cannot rely on them doing it for you. I think a possible problem is my bet frequencies and possibly sizings, wether I vary one or the other or both too much or too little, but I think I'm aware enough not to become too transparent. This among other things is why I'm back to the classroom for a while, you and @Dennis_ are so right about the study. I've reread half a book so far and can't believe how much I don't remember, is it my age or memory or what? I see that both of you appear to have turned a corner, I hope it continues and fully expect to join you soon on the upward curve. If there's one thing I don't lack it's optimism. What else is there? Maybe study! Or luck!  ... View more

Eleven days into self isolation and now Boris has made it official, everyone has to stay at home except for essential shopping, work, exercise or emergencies. Shopping for food is my main problem. I'm registered with Tesco, no delivery slots available till after April 13th, and those aren't showing, Morrison's site is down at the moment, please try later, and everwhere seems the same. I'm soon going to have no alternative but to go out to the local shops. So to the updates.   I've finally run the €1 UK tickets down so basically leaving the evening €5 UK and €10 UO to play, and I'm not even playing those regularly. I had another go with a €12 cash ticket, that went well for three days then somehow managed to disappear again.A couple of attempts at Banzai have gone well, that really is a matter of gambling or being super patient, I ran up to €7 and €11 after a couple of buy ins then put the brakes on, I'm going to try the new Banzai Bounties tonight. There are virtually no sports to watch or bet on, the only horseracing is abroad with sometimes very little info on the race cards, so this leaves a big hole in the day. I've watched a mass of YT vids on self improvement, health, fitness and learning techniques, as a result I'm going to attempt to relearn poker from the start. I'm going to assume I'm an absolute beginner and only know the basic hand rankings (probably more true than I like to admit) and start to read pro-actively, taking notes and trying to absorb info properly, rather than just reading as much as I can with no proper understanding, and randomly applying the odd concept here and there without the reason why. I'm probably like the majority of poker start ups that think it's got to be so easy, shove your AA and fold your 72o, but results lately have left me lost, losing and frustrated, so it's time for a complete reboot. Study all this week and start playing on April 1st, ( except tonight's Banzais) new quarter, new beginning, new hopes, newbie.     ... View more

This weekend I won one of the Ian Simpson freerolls.  @Superhansi  I don't think @Brocky  or me or any forum member is being secretive, unless we've been invited to one of these tourneys we simply do not know how to join. Even then I think some players will be invited and still not know the criteria, wether it's money spent, number of games played, winnings, losses or any of many possible factors. Unibet are a business and it is well within their right to invite whoever they like, for whatever reasons they like, to private tournaments. The requests for information are regular and even when answered that reasons will not be disclosed there will still be more requests in the same thread, probably by people that just don't or can't be bothered to read the replies. By typing in "freeroll" in the search bar many threads on this and other freeroll topics can be found, mostly the answers are the same, but the questions still pile up, and some members may lose a bit of patience with the continuing bombardment of unanswerable questions, as I have in the past. Well done on your victory, keep them coming. ... View more

Following on from the earlier hand....................... This one was much later in a sattie and I was getting low on chips, about 12th of 16 or so. Everyone was limping in so I tagged along. It went check check, and I might as well get a free card. This time there was a bet so I called, again loads of draws. Great river. This time villain checked and I thought the 3 to a flush and 4 to a straight might have scared him a bit. I thought if I shoved he might have folded so I only went 3/4 pot, but should have known, if they've got something they'll call.    Two straight flushes in two days, onwards and upwards.      ...
