hi, can you change my MTT tickets into 10euro MTT ticket. and sng tickets into 10euro and 4 euro tickets. thank you nickname: geoka2

Hey Andrew can you exchange my 2x25 euro UO tickets into 5x10 UO tickets thanks

best way to illustrate it depends on who these people are apart from now knowing much about poker, i.e. how familiar they are with things like probability, statistics, decision theory, game theory, economics (and how open/receptive they are to those notions), and any biases and/or mindsets/paradigms they may be in for whatever reasons

is it a practical demonstration or just you saying/explaining something?

as an entertaining practical demonstration i suggest you give the person in question €10k in a unibet account and make them play 6 tables of nl400 without any strategy whatsoever, completely randomly clicking buttons, and see what happens. then show how strange those results compare to the pool. maybe you could program a bot to make completely random actions, that would be a kind of bot i would be more than ok with.

more seriously, a short, entertaining theoretical demonstration seems quite hard to me unless the listener is already relatively knowledgable in relevant areas.

maybe something like explaining how a huge betsizing or timing tell on the river can work, as that's something where variance can essentially be removed and where it's quite obvious how much one could profit from compared to someone who hasn't noticed it etc. not sure how to make that funny though. maybe the image of someone so greedy that they become irrational and shoot themselves in the foot by adding 20% extra to every valuebet, making it obvious that it's value and making them actually get less value. that kind of thing can be funny if caricaturised corretly, i guess.

Glad we convinced you to go the sensible way

Hi Andrew,

I have a new Major challenge holdem:

Make a overpair on the flop, after 3-betting preflop.

3-betting ok, but what is a overpair on the flop?

Greetings
Enrico

Hi Andrew,

Please change my 25e UO and 1 x 1e SNG to 13x2e UO

Thank you

An overpair on the flop is when your 2 hole cards are a pocket pair higher than the highest card on the board. For example, you are holding KK and the flop is J95.

A lot - our mathematical expectation for the month was to award 2-3 packages. So far we've awarded 5 so we'll probably award 0-1 more, going by the odds.

The first bonus from Challenges comes at 7,500 points: https://www.unibet.co.uk/poker/challenges

It isn't a problem on our side. That means it's a problem on your side or somewhere between you and us. You've posted about this many times, but it has only very rarely been a problem on our side.

I believe I've said a few times that this is probably CPU lag. You could check by loading the task manager by right click on the windows bar, then seeing how much CPU the Unibet Poker process is taking up when you disconnect. Because it's CPU lag you'll need the task manager up before you experience it as it'll take a while to load, by which time your computer will have caught up.

Sure, done.

Sure, done.

Thanks for spending the time to make the document. We're still in the stage where we're figuring out how to make Twitch promos - nobody has really done it before as far as I know. I want to encourage streaming, but I also want to encourage viewing. The way we are doing it in April isn't great because it doesn't encourage high quality streams much, and people can maximise their chances of winning by using the Twitch IRC server.

I agree with you that we should reward people more for better quality streams. For now I think that's about the basics of having a webcam and mic. In the longer term it's about streaming at set times of the day, adding graphical overlays where appropriate, always interacting a lot with the viewers, etc.

The problem is that I don't like promos that players can't get the most from if they start a few days into the month (another reason why I don't like the typical rake race). Another problem is that we can't automate any of this yet. We could build the poker client and back office with the idea of automation in mind, which is one of the reasons we can build so much with so few people. For Twitch, it's all manual at the moment.

I think accumulating points in the way you suggest could be a promo in the future, but we need to be a bit simpler for now. My plan for the May Twitch promo is:

1. We pick a stream at random each evening, weighted towards ones with more viewers
2. We credit that streamer with €40 if they just stream
3. €50 if they also have a webcam or mic
4. €60 if they have both
5. We then say in chat “anyone who types ‘my alias is xyz’ in the next 5 minutes will receive a €4 NL4 ticket, if you don’t have an alias you’ll need to create a Unibet account and login to the poker site”
6. Then we can copy/paste that, extract the aliases, and credit the tickets relatively quickly

Sure, done.

Sure, done.

I was being a bit coy as I wasn't sure if I wanted to say it - but it's because I want to write some proposals for TV adverts. And yeh, I agree an entertaining theoretical demonstration is pretty hard to do. Thanks for the suggestions.

That's it, thanks. I'll explain it better for next quarter.

Sure, could you post your alias again though please?

Alias TwitchStream

Thanks, done.

Hi Andrew,

On what date is the last 250e UO qualifier for Glasgow on?

A few of us are making a late attempt to get there.

Thanks

The final Sunday is May 24th, the final Wednesday as May 27th. Good luck!

yeah, i hope it was a good decision

Will there ever be handhistories so I can check my hands in HM?

They are developing a hand-replayer but Unibet will never (99.99%) be compatible with HM or PT, because it would mean that Unibet would allow HUD's too.

for a TV advert you could parody the famous teddyKGB scene and use something european or unibet-related instead of oreos

Yeh, sorry - we don't want trackers either.

I think something along these lines works, but I'd like to avoid selling poker and instead sell online poker.

I think there is a huge flaw in the viewers side of things . At the moment it seems as though all the people going after the viewers share of the money seem to be sat in every unibet streaming room and saying nothing. This system will just perpetuate that as they just have to wait for you to say type " xyz" and kerching 4e goes there way.

A fairer way would be for an anonymous person to go into the room and see who is actually chatting and interacting over a 5 minute period as those people are then contributing to the stream. Some of us have a crap net connection and can't stream and when i view a room i only sign into one room and chat in that room.

Yes, it's definitely a problem. I haven't logged into IRC in at least 10 years, but if Twitch's server allows /whois then we could just exclude anyone who's in more than one Unibet channel perhaps. It's good if we're logging it anyway, and IRC's the way to do it. Maybe we can then idle in stream channels or something, if we just try to be anonymous then people'll figure out who we are pretty quickly.

hi, can you convert my 25UO ticket to 1x10UO 3x4UO 3x1euro MTT please

Thanks for taking your time trying to solve this. Usually, I get no help from online chat.

Today, I got disconnected again, only for 2/3 seconds and I mucked no hands because of this. I was playing 8 tables and I took this printscreen:

[IMG][/IMG]

For the unibet process, the CPU is 14 and memory is 1.341.420K. I don't know what this means.
I have an i7 with 3.40GHz and 8GB of RAM. Is my computer already too ****ty for your software?

Btw, I'm not totally sure if you were the one responsible for the ticket I got yesterday but thanks anyway.

Hey man I talk ALL the time on every stream I watch, to the point that most streamers probably hate me by now

Air apps (which I still assume Unibet is) are notoriously bad at multithreading, so most likely any performance issues arise from the fact that the whole process hogs a single CPU core.

Memory usage is most likely either memory leaks (not much a developer can do about those if the underlying platform mismanages memory allocation) OR because nothing is ever written to a persistant store, which makes sense from a security point of view. If it really is Air all a dev can do is limit the size of bitmaps or come up with some clever stuff like reusing resources from certain avatars, or use tiled patterns for backgrounds combined with a gradient (although the gradient will be GPU intensive, or I'm guessing if it's AIR: CPU intensive).

TLDR: building a visually rich multi platform poker client isnt simple, much less so when keeping security in mind.

I don't
