Ok, thanks. I think it's a quite interesting format for a hypers. Considering that blind levers rise after 3 minutes instead of 2, and there is 33,3 (LOL) big blinds, that should make a more room for a post-flop game and less push and fold. I'm definitely going to try this out.

If u just go to your profile and click on the ticket u want to use, isnt that a better way instead of going to whatever u want to start and then select 'ticket' from the pop-up? As this might use another ticket based on the time on it?

Hello Andrew and everyone,

Recent unibet player and 2+2 user here. Nice to see someone from unibet interacting

Just for the info, i've had the same bug repeatedly recently with tthe unibet software: i'm in standby in the program and after a while, it sort of disconnects me. I can still see my name but my profile is missing elements. I have to shut down everything and then reconnect again.
The recent update didn't solve the problem, had it again today: stand by about 1/2hour and then sort of disconnect.

In another subject: is it possible to get back an expired cash ticket ?? i had a plo cash ticket that just expired (didn't think it would before 2 days) and i would like to know if its possible to get it back ? (4$ ticket at value 5.57).
I'm new to the game and those ticket help me play and get better.

My username : Mynona_Be

Thanks for your help

Please do, I need more fish errrr opponents. In general I have encountered three different player types in these HU SNG so far: Donkey push right from the start, min-raise every single hand + cbet dude and the weak limper that is very passive post flop.

Ha ha No problem.

Hi Andrew,

Can you transfer 1 UO€50,- ticket to 3 x UO€10,- and 10 x UO€2,-

Thanks

Andrew when you catch up with this can i check one other thing,

is my 'up' amount the amount pre rake or after rake, thanks

yes, thanks for the tip, but I rarely use them this way... of course, in this case it MIGHT have been a better way to do that, although I was not aware that this could happen in the first place.

I do not use that option often because it worked fine using tickets the other way... until now (earlier I did not have the same value MTT and UO tickets before/ used MTT before UO tickets/ had them exchanged before I used them).

Actually I am not sure about the basis on how the tickets are picked from the ticket list, however, that MTT ticket which was used for UO tournament was the newest one, so it should have not been taken and used right away. But then again, those 10 euros UO tickets were extended quite much by Andrew as I asked him to do so, it might have something to do with that.

Nonetheless, I still think there should be some possibility to choose which ticket to use not only going through your profile but also by using tournament lobby, which I find more attractive as I can compare the times of the tournaments I am planning to attend.

From what I see there are a lot of regs who keep playing with the same alias day in day out. I try to pick one out the 5 I use but have to admit I dont make a new alias every day but then again I dont play that many hours every day, nor every day. I think I would pick new aliases every day if the player pool would increase a lot and there would be a lot more regs about.

And beside the regular ones I see every day there are still plenty of others Ive never seen so not sure if those are from people who do change their name or from new players lol

Hi Andrew,

Can you extend my 2x2 and 1x1 UO tickets that expire by tomorrow.

Had 20 + 2e that only had a couple days on and have now run out of MTTs that I can register for.

Thanks.

Alias TwitchStream

Try it, started Unibet also with HUSNG.

HaHa, didn't changed a bit in the last ~4 months I see

At the beginning when I was new I changed it around, lately not at all. I don't know if it's smart or not. I guess most regs want to be recognized by other regs so they avoid each other? Dont know.

Come to think about this manner: I'm still not sure if I like it or not. I mean if we try to make online poker more like live, that means without any additional software, why do we add multiple personas? If I go the casino the regs and fish can't change their bodies and names every night I think that having one name doesn't have only downsides to it. Although I love to come up with new silly names and don't have to stick with one my entire life

--------

Andrew, please change my 3xMTT to SNG (alias: lucky_one)
Thank You.

If u cant change your alias and u play a stake/game every day it's pretty obvious who the regs are and who aren't. Now when people can change u still have to figure out if that player uve never seen before is any good or not. Obv that's not going to take that long but it makes it all a bit harder for the regs. I like changing my alias at times altho people like to stick with some as they made up a 'cool dude' or whatever lol. I don't rlly care if people change or not but I see the same regs every day and I instantly know how they play (more or less) so that makes it easier for me

I keep my name. Its to avoid weird spots against other regs and im a thinking player, I know they know so..
Downside is that they fold to my flop raises sometimes because its a line i only take with strong draws and sets. Its hard to balance those ones out and with a new name you can raise it every time and let them guessing.

funny responses, guys. very cool - every one has some other goblins in his head taking over kind of a mind game. "did he changed, did he not changed, why so?" I like it

So watch out for that dude named ... oh wait, dang it

Ignore this, Managed to register for some of tomorrows.

My pokerclient doesnt start anymore since the update anyone else has the same problem ?

Partial catch-up as I have a meeting now.

I don't think many people know about us yet, but I also think this demonstrates that most people don't decide their site by the amount raked there. In any case, it isn't really our aim - we don't have low rake there to attract players, we have low rake there to keep new players alive for longer.

Sure, done.

I can't actually test it as I didn't receive a payment in the bootcamp, but I am pretty sure it shows here:

https://www.unibet.co.uk/myaccount/m.../pokeractivity

I agree that it'd be better if there was a notification of winnings in the poker client too, but those systems aren't connected to each other yet. We want to build a notification-broadcast system so that we can tell people about this stuff, and also about server restarts etc., but it'll be a while away yet.

Sure, done.

It's definitely the biggest problem that we have, but as Pr3dat0r says, it was a conscious decision. We wanted to be able to iterate quickly and to support several platforms at once with an identical feature set. We chose to use Adobe Air as it lets us do that with a small team, but at the cost of the client running more slowly.

Poker is a small part of Unibet, and the developers are an external company (called Relax - Unibet own a big chunk of them though), so they're pretty small too. Someone like PS have perhaps 200 developers, we have around a dozen.

There's not a lot we can do with optimising the existing client, the limitations are almost all down to Adobe Air. In the long term, we're planning to build native clients for each platform, but that's going to be a year away or more.

Even a native client will be slower than someone like PS though. Our client has a lot more graphical complexity than theirs, and that will always be slower.

It's probably down to difference in graphics card.

Sure, done.

Sure - 118,100 NL4 hands, 27,368 flops, 223.79 raked, up 470.31

This should now be fixed, thanks for reporting it (and thanks the day before too when I assumed it wasn't a problem).

I'm afraid that I don't have a way to check this from our back office, so I've asked the developers to investigate.

Ok, fixed. I don't know if it was an NL10 ticket or not, but I guessed that.

I don't think we'll get much traffic from 2 + 2. We'll get a few players who'll become regulars, but not the high volume stuff we get for new players every day anyway.

We're up quite a lot year on year though, and I expect that to continue.

I'll be pretty upset if we aren't double our current size this time next year.

I think I'd be revealing commercially sensitive information by giving a number here, but yes, the majority of people use more than one alias per day.

It's not so much that it helps regs, it's that it shows everyone who isn't a reg. If there's an auto-rebuy feature and someone doesn't use it, they aren't a reg. We want to make that identification a matter of purely how someone plays their hands.

did you try clearing the cache of Internet Explorer?

Andrew I see you post a player's stat's, hands played, raked hands and winnings lifetime! Could you post mine? User: KimosabiALN

Thanks!

Ye its working now

I cant find any proof of payment for the bootcamp of last week at https://www.unibet.co.uk/myaccount/m.../pokeractivity
I did a (ctrl F) search for the amount I should have been paid but there were no matches.

Since the bootcamp T&C stated that "Payouts will be made within three business days from the end of each payout according to the player’s position on the leaderboard." it should be there already.


I'm also not certain I received payment for the first week of the bootcamp. What kind of description is give to the bootcamp payouts?

Hi Andrew, could you convert my 4E daily to 1x4E SNG ?

I should mention that Skier is my friend so I know quite a lot about what he's built.

I think they're just going to block a certain class of things, I don't think they can block huds and trackers, just Skier's kind of thing where he has very efficient ways of looking up hand charts.

Sure, done.

Sure, done.

The flops requirement is unfortunately a consequence of how low the rake is there - that's how many flops it takes to rake €5 in that game.

This may be down to the fact that you can't actually select which ticket you use. It simply uses the one closest to expiry. So when you play a lot of sessions it's going to pick a ticket with a 1s different expiry date sometimes.

If that isn't it, do you recall what time you had this problem?

I think this is a workable idea, but I think it'd be difficult for us to build. We have so many things we want to add but only so much time. I also think there'll be problems where someone wants to turn off chat after the fact - they get abused, THEN they want to turn it off - we're in a worse situation than before.

Yup, that's not meant to happen. I've reported it, thanks.

It doesn't matter about expired tickets, I can still see them.

I think the best way to solve this is to just have a forum of our own. We could have a "HU SNG Regs" thread or whatever - I think it helps to build a community that way.

It also probably shouldn't: they're a monopoly, what they're doing clearly works for them, even if we don't agree with that as a long term strategy.

Yeh, and this is why I don't mind talking about this kind of thing. We built our software from the ground up to stop this kind of thing - we don't have to worry about enforcing no datamining because you can't table select, you can't observe games, and you can't save hand histories (the weakest link due to OCR one day).

PS are in a much tougher situation with this kind of software than we are.

Sure - in this thread? If via PM, could you send me a message there please?

OK, fixed.

This is something you'd be better off talking to support about - they have procedures and checklists for this kind of thing and I don't.

Yeh, this side of it sucked. Sorry for the problems, I don't really know what went wrong here. I've passed your feedback on to the events team.

Sure, done.

What's your alias?

The payout was at 14:13:13 on the 17th.

I don't have an easy way to track what happened here. I credited you with the €10 ticket though.

Thanks - second year in a row, not bad.



(this is where I was on Tuesday by the way)

I wanted to make them a bit slower than PS hyper-turbo and a bit faster than PS turbo. Those're their two most popular formats but we can't split our liquidity like that.

I get this sometimes too and I'm not sure what causes it. I'll report it, thanks.

I'm afraid I can't reinstate expired tickets, so I credited you with 2x new ones. They don't have the playthrough you'd already completed, so I made them a bit bigger.

Sure, done.

It's after rake.

They can't avoid each other - you can't see who's registered to a SNG and you can't table select in cash games.

Our aim isn't to make online poker like live poker per se, it's to keep new players alive for longer and to make poker fun again. Some of those things borrow elements that exist in live, but that's just coincidental really.

Sure, done.

Can't you just add some bluffs to your range there?

Sure, in this thread or via PM?

Sure, what's your alias?

is it possible to get a stat on BB/100?
