Hi guys,

I just started streaming poker on Unibet via Twitch. I will be streaming every day from 14:00 CET to begin with, and I will mostly be playing cashgames (NL200 and NL400).

Drop by and check it out, and make sure to leave a comment here if you have feedback, suggestions, questions or anything else. I'll check up on the thread and reply to the best of my ability!

Cheers, Uhlen

can you give the link of your twitch page?

Oh yeah, slipped up while posting the tread I see.

The link to the stream is: https://www.twitch.tv/uhlenpoker

Cheers.

Thanks to all the people tuning in to the stream today. Ended the session profiting just about €2800, after battling it out for 10 hours straight. We have been in this game for long enough to understand that we ran like Usain Bolt though, but you know what? I'll take it!

Stream will be back online same time tomorrow (14.00 CET).

Good night!

The poker gods giveth and the poker gods taketh away.

Pretty rough day at the tables today. Ended up giving back all of yesterdays profit, and then some. There was definitely alot of interesting spots, which made for good discussions in the chat. Thanks for everyone tuning in, and we'll be back tomorrow to try to make up for todays bleeding!

Good night all and good luck at the tables!

Another grind completed, logging around 9 hours of streamtime at the tables today. Ended up profiting a couple of buyins today which was really comforting after yesterdays nightmare session. Had many regular faces in the chat and some new ones as well. Appreciate everyone who tuned in and joined the chat.

I'll be back tomorrow at the same time, so see you guys then! Cheers, and good night!

Thanks to everyone who tuned in to yesterdays marathon session. We streamed for 12-13 hours straight, and had a blast doing it!

Today we are back at it, and currently live at www.twitch.tv/uhlenpoker. Gonna be playing some cash, as well as a fair bit of tournaments throughout the day.

Hope to see some of you in the chat or at the tables. Good luck today to everyone playing. I hope you all win the WCOOP main!

Hello guys! I am back from taking a two-day break at the beginning of this week. Had some stream stuff to update/fix, and I also brewed the first batch of beer for my new beer company! More on that later.

So. Some stuff going forward. I was afraid that the stream would become boring and tedious as I am mostly streaming cashgames. As a tournament streamer you have a story to tell every day when you log on and start your session. You can take your viewers through a journey where the endgoal and final destination is the big pot of gold (going deep, final table, 1st place etc).

To have a storyline of my own I have decided to begin my journey through a bankroll challenge. I will pick up where Doug Polk finishes his, and start my challenge with €10,000. I will begin this challenge today, so the 28th of September and my goal for the challenge will be to 5-double my bankroll in 5 months. In other words the goal will be to have €50,000 in my Unibet account before we hit March '17.



I will be posting updates from my journey in this thread, with weekly graphs etc. So stay tuned!

Alright guys, the first week of the bankroll challenge is a wrap!

So before I begin. I did some quick math on the challenge as a whole, and how much I need to profit each week if I want to reach my challenge goal. The challenge goes over 23 weeks and my goal is to make €40,000. Dividing €40,000 by 23 I saw that I need to average a profit of €1739 each week. This number sounds a bit scary to be honest, but we will for sure give it our best!

So. On to how we did in our first week. We played wednesday through sunday and took monday and tuesday off. We managed to dig ourselves a fairly deep hole, losing €1500 equaling 15% of our bankroll on the very first day. Obviously not the start we were hoping for, as the plan was to move down in stakes and completely skip NL400 if we entered sub €8k territory. Luckily we managed to pick up some momentum on day 2 and 3, getting back above the breakeven line. We actually ended the first week with a second place in the sunday entitled (for €900 ish), to lock up a nice €2300 profit for the week as a whole. We also increased our viewercount quite a bit, peaking around 110 viewers or so on friday. So that was pretty awesome, thanks to everyone who tuned in!

I was also planning on making some youtube content eventually, either highlights of big pots, crazy hands, good/bad plays etc. However, I think I might save this until Unibets new client comes out, and we can do some hand analysis through the new hand replayer. Let me know what you guys think, or if you have any suggestions how I could do this properly. There is also the issue with copyrighted music that I am playing on the stream, so a fair bit of the stream VODs are muted because of this. I could listen to "non-copyrighted music", but that also limits what songs you guys can request etc. so it's not really something I would like to do. OK, ENOUGH RANTING. Thanks to everyone who tuned in this previous week, hope to see you back in the chat tomorrow at 14.00 SHARP!



So as it stands, the bankroll is now at €12300, and we are stoked to enter week 2!

Cheers guys and good luck at the tables!

Hello ladies and gentlemen!

I am back for another week of streaming, and really looking forward to it! Last week was amazing, no wait... Last week was nothing less than flat out rediculous. Week started out slow with losing about €250 on the first day. Picked up some steam on day two, and entered godmode in days 4 and 5. Not sure what happened really, but during the first couple of hours of day four I think we lost just about zero coinflips. On day 5 we ran good in the cashgames, and also took down the sunday entitled for €1300 ish. I think that's our new favorite tournament from now on, placing second last sunday and first this one! In total we profited €12200 during the 5 days of play, which is wayyyy above expectations!

Posting graph below. Starting out from day 1 and the €10k mark and just adding on weeks and results as we go.




I am live now @ www.twitch.tv/uhlenpoker . Hoping to see some of you in the chat!

Hi guys! Just wanted to drop a post here before taking the weekend off. Gonna visit my girlfriends dad out on the country side, and just detox from poker/internet/anything digital. Looking forward to that!

So yesterday we played a pretty entertaining session. We got Roni14 at one of the NL400 tables, and he stayed there for quite a while. For those who don't know Roni14, he is quite a legend at the 400 tables, playing the most crazy playstyle you could imagine. He usually runs up a huge stack, before running it down again, which was exactly what happened yesterday aswell. When he eventually left the table, the remaining 5 players had like 29 buyins shared amongst them. So that'll give you an idea of the action. I'll post a picture of the table, and also add a small videoclip with a couple of funny hands from the session.

I'll be back streaming sunday night, around 19.00 or so. Hope you all have a great weekend, and win all your flips!

Table after finishing:

Caught some of the stream today, great stuff! Will tune in again.

Alright boys and girls, another week in the bankroll challenge has passed.

We started the week good, profiting €5k during the first two days. We then took a break during the weekend, visiting my girlfriends family outside of Budapest. Had a really good time there, detoxing from all things interwebs. Highlights: Played IRL cardgames. Read books. Ate way too much. Consumed my fair share of pálinka (Hungarian fruit based moonshine) and took a good dive into my gfs dads wine cellar. All of the above very enjoyable experiences!

Came back to Budapest on sunday and continued the grind. Hopped into a few tourneys and some cashgames. Bricked all tourneys and the cash tables didn't treat me well either. Ended up losing around €2200 in a few hours. Monday and tuesday were luckily better, and the weekly total ended up at +€4800. Graph below.



PS. We breached the 200 viewer mark yesterday, which was awesome! Not sure exactly at what number we peaked, but big shoutout to everyone who tuned in!

PPS. New "week" starting today, and I will be live in 5 minutes. I think next "weekly" graph will be from monday, since my OCD alarms are going crazy with this whole "starting the week on wednesday"-thing.

We are live again in a few minutes, at www.twitch.tv/uhlenpoker.

Nice. Hopefully 500 soon, and then 500 average. Then you can become partner.

Alright!

One more week of the bankroll challenge wrapped up, and we are making steady progress. All in all we profited €7600 over the course of the week, and ended up at €37,100. Some fun sessions including a crazy BOA2 session, in which we got completely destroyed. I made sure to save some highlight clips, so I will edit a short youtube vid for this later. Since I am running short on time now I'll just wrap it up here. Weekly graph below!



We are back at the tables today in 5 minutes or so. Tune in at www.twitch.tv/uhlenpoker!

Alright guys, we are back!

Had some technical issues over the past few days, so been unable to play or stream. The problem seems to be resolved now, so we will be back on the grind today! Last week we were only able to play 2-3 days, but we managed to squeeze out a €1150 profit during that period, which is good. We are now standing at €41,100 – being a lot closer to the end goal than we were expecting this "early" in the challenge. Bankroll graph under:



I've also made a small highlight video, picking a few hands from the first month of play that stood out. I didn't do an amazing job with noting down timestamps for interesting hands, but I think I got like 7-8 hands in there. I'll try to do a better job marking interesting hands in the future. Also I will stop taking song requests for a while, and just play a premade playlist with non-copyrighted songs. The way it works now is that my video's get muted because of the copyrighted music, and as such I have to add commentary to hands while editing. I think it's better to get real-time commentary, as this more accurately shows my thought process in the actual hands. SO, this is turning into a longer rant than expected, so I'll cut it short here. Check out the youtube video below, any feedback would be appreciated!



Cheers guys, and good luck!

PS. We are live in a few minutes @ www.twitch.tv/uhlenpoker

We had to re-upload the video above, so here it is:

Also had to quit the stream prematurely today. Unibet is having network issues, so everyone kept getting disconnected. We will be back at it tomorrow!

Alright guys, week 5 is a wrap!

We played cash games from wednesday to saturday, accumulating just above €2000 in the process. We also ran a few tournaments saturday night, without too much success. Sunday we also started off with some cash games, but decided to hop into some tournaments in the afternoon. We had played an FCOOP (French Championship of Online Poker at Pokerstars.fr (€50 6-max €200kg)) event on saturday, where we made day two with a huge stack. I think we were in 16/100 when day two started. Bricked most of our tournaments for the night, but ended up going deep in two different FCOOP events. With €22k and €36k up top, we were getting excited going into the last 3 tables of both tournaments. Ended busting the first one in 25th place, in a pretty standard spot. Not too much to do and we still had a chance in the biggest one.

Second one was a nailbiter. We were the chipleader with 8 people left, and had high hopes for maybe making a big score. Here is the payout structure:



So one guy busts, and we are now 7 people left and on the final table bubble (6-max event). We have a pretty good table 3-handed, having position on a weaker player, who we felt we had good control over. We keep battling it out for a long time 7-handed. We lose a couple of medium sized pots, small stacks keep doubling up in allins, and suddenly we find ourselves in 6th place, although everyone has fairly similar chipstacks except for 7h place who only has like 14 BB. Anyways, table dynamics are aggressive, and we have a feeling that the weaker player is getting fed up. We pick up AQo in the SB and the button opens. We have 44 bigblinds and the button has like 54 bigblinds. At this point we have a fairly though decision I think. We have fairly deep stacks, and since there is a shortstack at the other table, we don't really want to bust in 7th place because of ICM. I've asked a few tournament end-bosses about this hand and gotten different answers. One guy said he would only call and play potcontrol because of ICM, and one guy said we should just go with our read and try to give ourselves a good chance at chipleader pot and probably securing a top 3 finish. I am still not sure what I like best, but we decided to go with a 3-bet call because of the dynamics. We felt pretty certain that we had our opponent on semi-tilt and that he would shove light. We were indeed correct in our assumptions, and he did not take long to jam it in for the chiplead-pot. We take a moment to prepare ourselves mentally for what's ahead, and we press the call button. We see A9s. Perfect. Blank flop. 9 on the turn. Blank river. Fml gg ul ty cu etc, busting in 7th place for €2,500. This tournament score is not included in bankroll challenge for those wondering, the bankroll challenge is only for Unibet.





All in all it was a pretty brutal week in terms of marathon streams, and I felt completely exhausted waking up on monday morning. Thursday through sunday we streamed for a total of 48 hours, averaging 12 hours of streaming per day. I will try to take it more easy in the weeks coming, to not burn myself out completely.

Alright, this is turning into a small novel, so I think I'll wrap it up here. Thanks for the great rail during the tournament run on sunday. Not sure exactly how many people we had watching at peak but it was between 300 and 400 somewhere. Awesome!

Oh yeah, for the bankroll challenge graph, see below:



We are back on the twitch streets tomorrow at 14.00!

Hello again,

Last week was filled with ups and downs. Can't really remember too much of the ups, as they have been replaced in my mind by the horrible downs. BUT I can tell from my graph here that we profited €5800 on thursday, and €1500 on friday, before we got toasted on saturday for like €3900. We actually peaked at €51,400 at some point, before hitting the downswing. The €5800 profit on thursday includes exchanging a Unibet Open package for cash game tickets, so only €3800 were made at the tables.

On sunday we played some tournaments on various sites. Sunday warmup, sunday million, some FCOOP events, including the €1000 main event. We bricked basically everything, and probably lost around $1500-$2000 across the different sites. Oh well. The FCOOP main event was a blast though, being a progressive KO tournament (half of the buyin goes towards prizepool and half goes into your own bounty). We built a big stack early, and collected a couple of bounties, basically just by playing straight forward and getting paid off. That has the be the softest €1000 tournament of the year. Over half my table had a funplayer-tag after a few hours of play. We then managed to lose a big pot with KJs in a squeezed pot, where we tried to bluff a villain with an assumed capped range. He ended up showing us a hand that should not be in his preflop calling range, which threw us off. I'll post the hand below and give my brief thoughts.

http://www.boomplayer.com/en/poker-h...132_990A5DC83D

We squeeze KJs in the SB (fairly standard I think, esp. in a prog KO tourney.), and get coldcalled by the BB, who was playing 31/19 at this point. When he coldcalls the 3bet here with two players left to act behind, we assume he has a fairly narrow range. My thoughts were something like 77-JJ, AQo+, AJs+ and maybe JTs/QJs/KQs. I assume he is gonna 4bet QQ/KK/AA and probably AK most of the time. So. Flop comes 79Tdd, and completely smashes his perceived range from my point of view. However, he only has 2,5x pot behind, and we do have a doublegutter+overcards. So my line of thinking is to checkraise allin, or to try to take it down on other streets if he shows weakness. I think the checkraise allin here is a line I would take with my overpairs alot of the time aswell, so I hope and think we are fairly balanced here. Villain decides to check behind though. At this point we can pretty much exclude 77/99/TT, and probably also JJ/QQ from his range. His range is pretty much capped to one pair hands. So we decide to apply pressure. We bet around 40% pot on the turn, and opponent calls. At this point I had his range down to 88/TJs/QJs/maybe some high diamond hand, although I expect him to just bet-call KQ of diamonds etc on the flop. The river brings another 7, which seems like it should rarely hit him. He should not be calling preflop with 67s/78s/A7s so we feel fairly confindent that he has some medium showdownvalue here. I decide to jam for 1.2x pot. Opponent calls us down and to our disappointment shows that he indeed called pre with 67s. I think our jam looks alot stronger than betting half pot or whatever here, as it is a knockout tourney, and if we had a strong holding we would likely be going for it all.

Let me know what you guys think of the hand, I've asked multiple people (including some end bosses) about it, and already gotten quite different answers.

That will be it for this weeks update. Posting challenge graph under.



Cheers and CU back on the twitch streets at 14.00 today!

Hi guys,

Just poppin in to give a quick update on the bankroll challenge and what's up going forward.

Since we reached €50k a couple of times now, I decided to call the bankroll challenge completed. People have been asking if I will continue streaming after this, and the answer is yesssss. These last two months on twitch have given me tremendous amounts of inspiration to keep grinding. The positive reinforcements and fun people hanging out in the chat has been giving the monotonous grind some interactive elements which has been great. So thanks to everyone who has been hanging out, and special thanks to the OG's who has been frequenting the chat from the getgo!

The last weeks of 2016 will be filled with travel, and not as much time for streaming. The pre-set schedule has therefore been omitted untill new years. First up will be the Norwegian Championships in Oslo. I will be travelling there friday morning, and staying there for 5 days. From Oslo I will be travelling directly to Bucharest to attend the Unibet Open event there. Really looking forward to this one, I am sure it will be a blast as always! After that I am considering going to EPT Prague, but I will decide on this when it get's closer. Rumours are that Unibet will have some really cool promotions in December, alongside their new client release. So I miiiight actually skip Prague to put in some good volume on Unibet that month. I am also travelling home for christmas a few days before christmas eve, and staying there untill the beginning of January. Since my laptop is not powerful enough to stream, twitching will also be put on hold for those two weeks.

So, exciting times and a lot to look forward to for the next two months. I will be streaming as much as I can during mid-december though, without following a particular schedule. So follow me on Twitch and Twitter to stay up to date on that. Will also be updating from the live tournaments on Twitter.

Alright guys, cheers and GL!

subbed... You might consider trading Holdem lessons for Hi Lo lessons?

I use the term lessons loosely.

Haven't made a comment on 2+2 in many years, however I felt like giving you thumbs up for the relaxing, chilling and awesome stream. Even tho I stopped playing 2 years ago, I have startet abit again, because of your stream.

I remember when I played I often had a mate railing me and when I spoke in skype with him about my actions out loud I learned to have a better thought process and sometimes think more about my actions. I guess you also benefit from the stream, in the same way?

Hope you tune in again soon and may the beer gods be with you.
