Week 39 Review
I had another week where I suffered from crippling headaches for a couple of days. After losing a buy-in in 700 hands of 10NL, I came to the conclusion that I was unable to make correct post-flop decisions. It was literally hurting too much to think about what to do on the river, so I decided to lower the stakes and go looking for some fun elsewhere.
I had a look at the tournament tab of the Uni client, and there was a yellow button that looked strangely appealing, so I pressed it quite a few times during the week.
Evidently that button activates some sort of boomswitch. In satellites, what happened to me was that almost every time I was in danger of bubbling, I got dealt aces and got good action. Hands like this one happened daily:
Getting all in pre-flop 3-way with 85% equity doesn't happen very often. Unless you're a penguin. #SkillGame
I don't really know what typical tourney winrates look like, but prior to this week, I would have thought that in games with <30 entrants, an ROI of 30% would be pretty good. I did slightly better than that.
I finished the week by playing the Unibet Community freeroll. My only aim was to try and win Jonny's bounty, but we didn't find ourselves on the same table until we were in the final 6, where a luckbox seemed to be running even better than me, so he busted Jon before I could. I ended up coming 2nd out of 92 and picked up a couple of bounties.
The long and the short of it is that I made more money in a week of <4eur tourneys than I made in the week that I beat 25NL for 20bb/100. Low volume poker-playing is weird.
Since almost all of my profit is actually in the form of tickets that can't be converted to cold hard cash, I guess I have to get my act together and try and qualify for the Unibet Open, so that I can blow the lot in one hand. My "satty ticket roll" is now at 227 euros. #PingItUp
The plan for this week is to mostly play the 10 euro satties, but also mix in some 4s and 2s just so I'm not one-tabling my way to boresville. #Inb4Busto
