Yeah, am playing without HUD or anything. It's just that not any of those things work on Unibet. Grinding is going really good

Busted the donkament in 32nd. Got a bit reckless and started messing around too much. Whatever, I had some fun

Good evening folks! Bankroll keeps on growing steadily
Played a 2h session this afternoon in which I won 7 buy ins.
Nothing too special, but I must say I believe I'm running a bit above EV.
Made one nice herocall:



Played for another hour just now, but I wasn't in the mood at all. Won another buy in tho. I also received €30 from Unibet as a result of my standings in a rakerace

What's up guys. Today, I moved up the limits ladder! Well, due to the very slow traffic on 25NL I had to mix 4 tables of 10NL and 4 of 25NL. Session started of pretty cold. But I kept my cool and grinded it out. Played about 5,5 hours. At the end of the session things got rolling for me

I realised a small leak tho. I check back turn cards too often with medium strength holdings. I realise I do this because in these spots (where villain cbets and shuts down OTT) most often has air (and very seldom a monster). So I see more value in underrepping my hand and calling down a potential river stab. Although I think this is a valid point, I do think I should also protect my hand more often.

Anyways, bankroll update!

Another great day pokerwise for me! Woke up really early this morning. Probably due to the fact that I haven't been smoking weed the last few days.
Anyways, grinded for about 1.5h at 8am and things went smoothly. Won about 6 buy ins There really isn't too much too say about it. There are alot of weak players and it's very easy to spot the few regulars. Offcourse I'm also running above average. Everyday I'm thinking that today the doomswitch will be turned on, but I guess it's stuck

Played another short session and won another 2 buy ins.
Look at this regular trying to be a hero floating:



I know I shouldn't be so results oriented, but today must have been my biggest winning day in poker the last few years! Also, for now I don't need to make any major adjustments to my game. I'm also passing up on some marginal spots, since at times the money is almost handed to me.

Let's see if I can make it to 50NL this month!

Ugh, just got rivered/coolered in a 400bb pot. So gross. Am pretty tilted right now and ended my session. Villain is a regular and I believe respects my game. He isn't out of line too much. Should I be reraising more OTT? I was actually thinking he had 22/QT/TT/... Can we ever fold river?
Still won almost €100 for the session, so can't complain too much really.



Although it is 31°C here right now, I'm gonna go for a run to clear my head. Maybe will grind some more after dinner

Running was like hell. After 2.5km my engine just overheated I guess So I spent the other 3km mostly walking. Anyway, it was good to get outside for some time.

Played another session for about 1.5h and I'm still crushing like a boss
Although there were more regulars online than usual, I felt very comfortable playing them. Running good for now, but I'm well aware that darker days will come.

For now I'm just enjoying the ride

HOLY ****. I guess Unibet turned on the doomswitch. I just played for 6.5h straight. The last 18 days I believe I haven't had a single losing day.
This afternoon I must say there were alot of regulars online - some even pretty decent. There was also alot of shorthanded play (3 or 4 players at the tables).
So offcourse things got a little more aggro. I lost about 10 all in's where I was flipping (and a couple times 70% favourite). Just so brutal.

But today I wasn't gonna loose aswell, so I stuck to it. Also I kept my composure really well, I didn't feel tilted at all. Just a bit annoyed, but determined.
Am really happy with how I played, and also made some clever plays. So after 680 flops seen, my balance tells my I have won €0,34!
Huge confidence boost to manage to get back to even, even when everything is going south.

I did catch a royal flush in a squeezed pot tho

Finally time for dinner now.

I've had days like that. FWIW, 10NL seemed pretty reg-filled too when I popped on earlier. I was spewing a bit as I've almost forgotten how to play properly after taking about a month off. A straight flush saved my session.

I'm interested in following your progress so I've subscribed. Good luck!

How many hands are you playing a month?
Road To NL100 Quote
08-04-2015 , 05:13 PM
I haven't played at all in 2015 untill July 17. So hard to tell you an average.
I haven seen 7580 flops since then, I estimate that's about 50K hands.
Have alot of time these days

Played a small donkament with a tourney ticket I received. Just got into the money. I still get to go to McDonald's with today's profit



Let's hope tomorrow will be a better day!

I also play at unibet. Are you trying, or do you have any plans on going for the package? It's 1250000 points, and sucks if you barely don't make it. I'm playing sitngo's on uni, and there's no way to get a volume large enough to make it with my hours, as they don't run bigger than 10€. Would be cool to hear if anyone else has tried GL with your mission.

Hello mumming. Actually yes, I'm thinking about making 1.25M challenge points. I would love to play UO Antwerp, as I'm living only a bit over 10 miles away. But €1100 is alot of money to me. Also, I have no live experience, so maybe I am a huge fish in this kind of tournament So I don't think I want to buy in directly. Currently I have only 87K challenge points. If I can get to 100NL in September it might be possible tho. GL to you aswell

Huge losing day Just couldn't catch a break and was running bad in all sorts of spots. I also spewed a bit I must say. Shoved ATo pre in a blinds vs blinds battle. Shouldn't level myself in these spots. So dissappointing. Offcourse I'm still up for the month, but still.
Not sure if I'm gonna play more later on today. Might play some 10NL to catch my breath and regain some confidence. Bankroll down to €910

Feels so unreal to realise I have lost 13 BI's... I'm 8 tabling but still.
I guess variance is a bitch

Especially when the BI's are at the higher limit.

I've played some more later this evening, cause unlike this afternoon there were alot of fishes online. Still the unibet RNG continues to hate me.
For example I make a huge 3bet with KK and check a T hi flop to this aggro donk. He deceides to jam, I snapcall him and he shows T8o... Turn insta T.
A bit earlier I valuebet 3streets with set 7's and apparently some limping fish had turned a gutshot...



After this I had enough for today. These guys play like idiots. Yet seem to hit gincards all the time. Just unreal today. Time to smoke a big ass joint.

Bankroll update



I hope I can take maybe 1 or 2 days off. Although I'm still rolled for 25NL, I'm gonna try and play 10NL. Although it annoys me to play so small...
I did win a €10 MTT ticket, but that's not much comfort really...
Peace guys.

Morning guys. Put in some hours grinding at the 10NL tables. Managed to book a decent win, €62. Still alot of catching up to do. Will probably play some more tonight. I'll force myself to not play 25NL again untill I reach €1K.
I'm still confident i'm one of the more solid players on 25NL. None of the regs is willing to play me HU when tables are getting really short, so...
But it's better for moral to play a bit lower now.

Hey guys. Just played some more and managed to win a couple buy ins. Have played a bunch today, but I made some mistakes here and there. Been calling 3bets a bit to loose I guess. Luckily I don't need to play my A-game to win at 10NL

Today was just another day of grinding back a bit at 10NL. Things didn't really go so smoothly. Although I did suckout with QQ ai vs 88 on a 58J board.
Should be playing 25NL again sunday and hopefully I don't encouter another horror-run

Thanks billythekid!

Today I again put in alot of time grinding. Played 80% 10NL and little bit 25NL.
Still not catching any real good run I also think last few days there have been a bit more regs online. But, as the following hand shows some people have no clue at all



Anyway, bankroll is back to 4 digits

Another pretty frustrating session. Just can't seem to get any momentum going. Earlier today there were some aggro regs online. If you can't catch any cards it's gonna be hard. Later today there were some fishes. But it's frustrating that I just can't win any flips. Won €3, which is still better than a loss ofc.
Later this evening I think I'm just gonna relax and play a session at 10NL.

Cool hand:

Hey guys. Went running again this afternoon. Had a really good pace the first 3km, but then had to take a walking break. I'm still very far away from my best condition, but at last I'm not being a couchpotato all the time
After shower and healthy dinner I grinded some more. Felt kinda fresh and as I have > 40 BI's there's actually no reason why I shouldn't be playing 25NL.
Session started off pretty decent, but then got in a lot of tough spots and things weren't just going my way. Hovered around breakeven all session long, untill I got some rungood at the end!

Some of these guys really hate folding. Alot.


I think this guy must have been bashing his keyboard...




When I made the huge overbet AI with the quads villain snapcalled lol He has to give me credit for at least AA, you'd think...

Almost fully recovered from Tuesday's big loss!

Hey guys. Had to do some real life chores today and around 5pm an ex-collegue came over for some beers. I also smoked some joints, so when he left around 8 or 9pm I had dinner. As I was still pretty baked I played a bit of 10NL. But soon there were some disconnection issues. Around 11pm I fired up 8 tables of 25NL and session was starting of slow as usual the last few days.
I was losing lots of small pots, but not making any big mistakes.
I stacked a guy with Ax on a 666K6 runout as he made a huge overshove all in on the river as I checked to him. He had Kx, lol

This last hand made my day and got me in the green





Good night folks!
