[CG] From Poker Donk To Winning Monk
No clue what to call this thread so there you go 😛
I'm a 35y old Belgian guy living in the North East of Scotland after moving in with the gf in 2013.
Background: started playing poker in 2010 and never really been a winning player, more like a break even slight winner. I'm a guy who can play forever with a bankroll and not win nor lose anything 🤣 think I started out with some donkaments on PokerStars but then changed to cash games as that suits better with a full time job. Eventually found Unibet and loved the anonymity and the ability to play without software.
Always had a full time job as a CNC Machinist so definitely never relied on poker as an income, no chance either as explained above lol. I started playing again start of this year after some years off (since 2016 maybe?) and taking it a bit more serious this time. Deposited £100 I think to start at 4nl and had to add another £50 bit later as bankroll had a skydive and I wanted to stay at 10nl at that time, again I think as can't check deposit history anymore.
I ended up down in March, then doubled my bankroll in April and been going strong since then, working my way up to 50nl atm. 25nl was where the real struggle started to become better as regs become a bit tougher. Been playing 50nl since end of last month so feel really comfy playing at this level now and bankroll sits at $1780, had a good day yesterday with $250 up after playing 5-6h maybe. And that's probably the biggest 'problem' , getting enough volume in. Not always easy when you have a fulltime job and a dog, cooking, watching tele, gf etc. Even during this Covid19 crisis I've not been off work at all beside a week of holiday where I managed to make about €100 a day at 25nl.
My goal: well I don't really have a goal, just becoming a winning/stronger player and if I can beat 100nl easily (this year?) I would find that a pretty decent achievement. I used to play 100nl on PokerStars (don't ask me how I got there) so doing that again maybe this year but better and proper bankroll management then this would be great.
To end I'll give you some stats from my cashgames from this year up to end of May, hope the calculations are right 😀 and just ignore 50nl as small sample size. I'll get some proper number after this month as only played 50nl.
NL04 hands played: 10167 won: €113.45 => 27.9 bb/100
NL10 hands played: 10002 won: €86.75 => 8.67 bb/100
NL25 hands played: 45130 won: €858.27 => 7.6 bb/100
NL50 hands played: 1305 won: €101.34 => 15.5 bb/100
For the rest, won't be daily updates as don't play that much but I'll try to do at least one a week. Also be looking for some kind of (free) hand replayer as Unibet obviously doesn't make it able to share hands that easy and that way I could maybe share a few hands here.
End of the month is also the end of the quarter before the challenge points reset and I'll try to get to 250k, I just passed 175k now giving me some extra bonus points which I'll use to buy €5 hexapro tickets and hope to add some €€ to my bankroll.
I sometimes do play a tournament here and there too, mostly bounty ones but my MTT strategy knowledge is very limited so if I ever win one it's by lots of luck lol. And actually all these buy-ins do bite a bit in my bankroll too over time so I try to limit it. I do like to play the €5000 Ice Giant Bounty every Sunday for lolz and I'm already happy to get my buy-in back haha.
Thanks for reading the long intro and good luck at the tables (except against me :Cheeky:)

MTT/tournament feedback and ideas autumn 2024
We're a bit short-staffed at the moment, and I'll be taking care of most things MTT schedule related for the next few months. Therefore I thought I'd create a dedicated thread here, where you can give suggestions for guarantee increases (or decreases 😄 ), new tournaments, typos in descriptions etc. etc. I'll be reading the thread daily and will try to reward with a few bonus points when suggestions are implemented 🙂

hexapro micro king strikes back
Hello I'm starting this topic as a way to hold myself accountable. I'm playing 2 euro limit, and while Im already putting a lot of volume( around 8k games this year), I always struggle to be consistent with it. Which often results in playing 400+ games for couple days straight when my bonus is about to expire 😉 I would like to play another 4-5k in february alone so I can achieve L6 level at the beginning of march. So plan is simple, once a day I will post how many games was able to play that day, maybe share a problematic hand or two etc. This can be also a great way for me to work on my english. I'm not off to a great start, was attending birthday party yestarday, and had couple drinks too many 😉 So today was a really lazy day, finishing my february mission and played only 40 games or. But watch out tomorrow ! 😉

Option to show my hand
I would like to be able to show my cards after the hand is over. I think this option adds entertainment to the game, for example when you can show your opponent that you have bluffed him.

Loyalty / Leaderboard notifications
I'm sure I've mentioned this once in my blog before but I'll say it again here, when we reach a loyalty monetary bonus or win x amount on a leaderboard the money gets added to our bankroll at some point but without any notifications and you can check your account and the transaction history but this is such a faffing about as you can't filter on 'Premium' wins so you have to trawl through all the transactions and there can be quite a few when playing poker and topping up tables etc. 2 reasons why this annoys me are: - I want to know if I am really getting the money and I do trust Unibet but it's a matter of principle as when you play a session of poker for hours on end with multiple tables you don't really know how much you win or lose so how can you see what bonus you should have received on top of all the poker swings? Just looking at my bankroll doesn't tell me anything and because some winnings get paid a bit later, like the leaderboards it's hard to keep a tab on it. - Receiving a notification also endorses the winning feeling and knowing Unibet is a gambling platform it is kind of funny how they don't do this as why would you not want to inform your customers they have won some extra 'rakeback' or other prize money? Fix it Unibet 😋

Blackjack hexapro
How about we do HexaPro blackjack thing with 21 theme? When you get multipliers, you get points same as the multiplier. Like 1.5x multiplier means 1.5 points. If you go over 21, you start again from 0. Maybe you have like 3 tries each day. When you hit blackjack, you win hexapro ticket and flip ticket
