hello andrew and grinders ,

i was coming up on a new idea for the grafik ingame.



idk if people like it or not, but maybe it can help to see how many people are/was in the hand. u can see on pic that people who sitting out or sitting in are completly invisibe and people that have just fold "pre" that only the humon is invisible but the moneycount is just normal. so we can see a different if people was involved into a hand or was sitting out.

hope u guys understand my english and its just a idea

Sounds fun. Will def be playing some events

Andrew, I totally agree that players playing 100NL+ would prefer the DT being 400euro over 200euro. You'd have to look at your numbers and see what percentage of 50NL and lower players end up "winning" a DT ticket and decide from there.
Regardless it's a great promo and I'm glad Unibet offers it.

Hi, when will all the stream tickets be credited?
thanks

Yes they are, and yes it is. Also, I plan to spend most my evenings there during the UO, I'll be buying players drinks if you see me around.

I'll avoid some of this as obviously I'm biased.

SNG are 2 max or 5 max. I made the structure to be somewhere between PS turbo and hyperturbo.

The aim is to pay a lot more to the lower end than anyone else does, similar for the top, and less for the middle. So it depends on your stakes and how much you play.

The biggest downside of being relatively small is that we can't compete with bigger sites on MTT guarantees etc. Instead, we can do tournaments that don't take all day and that people have a better chance to win. So we aren't aiming to attract the MTT regs.

The biggest tournament on Saturdays is the Saturday stack, a €100 buyin tourney with a €4.5k guarantee. There's also a Unibet Open weekly final, which is €12k guaranteed (6 packages).

On Sundays, we have the €90 entry, €4k guaranteed Sunday Entitled. You can only enter this via satellites, there's no direct buyins. This tournament is rake-free as the satellites are raked.

There're a few people who do for cash games. I doubt it's possible for MTT.

Thanks, we're working on something similar to this at the moment

I think it might be best to leave it aimed at NL100+ players because they don't have much else going and we want to protect players when they're losing at these stakes too.

Sorry, this is Jamie's job so I don't know. He's playing UKPIT at the moment I'm afraid.

All done.

Earlier I said I'd prefer 200 EUR prices but that's only for selfish reasons because I'm an NL/PLO25-50 player. Considering the bigger picture I agree that bigger stakes players likely like the 400 EUR prices better and also the 400 EUR prices probably look better in the marketing. (And also because I have run so bad in the double troubles thus far, but that's on me lol).

How much better is rake back at 50NL as oppose to 25NL?

I think the visible/invisible avatars is a good idea. Except mayb shaded or somethin, not totally invisible.

A+ for the time it took a rep to answer.

Looking into it, thanks a lot.

Not just a rep, but Head of Poker at Unibet.

You simply don't have this kind of access to the decision makers at any other site.

Haha, I just logged in for the first time today and was wondering how come I have suddenly received the chip and a chair achievement. Apparently, after I called it a night yesterday and left my alias hanging around on the Squid freeroll when there were over 500 entrants left, I succesfully cruised to the money for 0.33€. Weeee! I guess I play my best game when I'm not even around.

Just been in a game where the bb was shown as sat out I pushed from the sb and then the
bb called even though from my point of view they were sat out. hand 270864190.

I think if a player is shown as sat out when the cards are dealt they shouldnt be able to play that hand.

seems like a solid strategy, good luck with that

I don't agree with this in tournaments. I think being dealt a good hand, or a good spot to steal or good odds to call or whatever, while being sitout cause you went to the bathroom for 30s or to get a cup of tea or a sandwich or to get the door, or watching tv, or wife screaming, or some other window above your table, and then not being able to click anything and do anything with your hand even though it might be a full minute till you have to act after you came back, is absolutely infuriating. Had a bunch of these situations when reconnecting, when the DC problems were happening, just staring at my hand hoping I can get back in while seeing everyone at the table playing just fine because the "I'm back" button wouldn't pop up, really not fun.

You could argue that that's the rule in live poker, so why not here too. IMO online poker is supposed to be convenient, you just jump in and play at any time while still being able to do other things. I don't think that adding an extra punishment for people who don't stay glued to their poker table, would be a good idea.

That being said, I think there is a visual bug (for quite a while now), where the player already sat in but is still shown as a sit out to everyone else, until someone makes an action in front of him, and that might be what happened to you as well. IMO the sitting in animation should be completely instant from the perspective of the other players, and not queued after a certain trigger. Didn't really get to test this bug tho, because it requires the perspective of 2 players to know what's going on.

Hi Andrew, and everyone else.. I am sorry about the drunk rant a while back, I really was very tilted by the software issues...
If it is of any interest, I have been doing some casual research, with some intriguing results....
I have mentioned previously that I usually run Windows 7 in a VM on a Linux (openSuse) host. I have now for comparison, a clean (native) install of Windows 10, with all up-to date drivers etc.
The first thing I will say that it IS better.. but it still is horribly demanding, in particular of CPU
My machine is no gaming beast, but is a perfectly adequate machine (It runs GTA V eg!)
(AMD Phenom II x4 905E, 8Gb Ram, R9 270)
I don't want to fill the forum with clutters of pictures.. BUT....
If I have the "Challenges" open in the main lobby (which is my usual), ie the screen showing what hands I need to get the next increment, ONE of my CPU's % load doubles, and temps go up, fans come on etc. The other cores show an increase in loads as well. This is instant and 100% reproducible. If I go back from that screen, the load instantly drops back to parity with the other CPU cores, which also drop back.
Would you pass this on to the the Likely Lads of Lithuania, please... . (Damn. Estonia does not alliterate.) (Leave it in anyway).
ps This does not noticeably happen when in the VM, but loads caused by the Unibet SW are so high anyway, that it might not show up...
If anyone apart from Andrew has got this far, it would, I think, be helpful if you have monitoring SW to try this. Even if you have a massively powerful PC, but especially if you have a quad-core AMD.

And if by any chance you have come to the conclusion that I only come here to moan.... My elderly father asked me to have a tidy-up of his generic tablet, Android 4.4 ish, IIRC. So instead of "tidying up"; I started by installing the UB client. It was very good indeed, lovely graphics, even on a cheapo no-name tablet. Bloody shame I can't multi-table on it..

Just confirming what Wakou said about the Challenges screen. INTEL CPU here and the load does spike and stay high while in that screen. Which is weird since that screen doesn't update in real time, you need to exit it and come back in to see changes in progress, I think ... I'm pretty sure.

Ty, NMPfan, And yes it is odd because it is not an "active" screen, as you say, you have to go out and come back to "check" if a hand you thought you had achieved was actually "clocked"...

And one of the regular followers on the Twitch casts (also Intel) IIRC, mentioned that hiding the lobby makes a huge difference. I thought that this might be because of the animations/promotions on the lobby screen, but obv not. I am not, quite obviously, an expert, but there is something not right.....

Hi Andrew can you please exchange my 4e PLO ticket to 4x 1e banzai tickets please?

Cheers pal

Hi Andrew,

Could you convert the following;

3x 100UKT into 15x 1UKT + 10x 4UKT + 2x 10UKT + 9x 25UKT
2x 50UO into 14x 1UO + 15x 2UO + 4x 4UO + 4x 10UO
3x 5SE into 15x 1SE
1x Daily4 + 1x 1MTT into 5 Bonus

Thanks in advance, have a nice weekend

To follow up on wakou and nmp

my load has 4 levels;
lowest load is in the main opening screen (with the quick select thingie) 5-7%
lower load is in the "full-tournament lobby" 9-13%
higher load is in "account lobby" 12-15%
highest load is in when we open the challenges 23-25%

the % are specific for the unibet software (not total for my pc)

ps i actually had a bitcoinminer-virus on my pc, after removing this, i have a little bit less problems, also it looks like it performance is a bit improved in the new version, but it's still crashing about 1 time in 2 days (was about 1 time a day) on avg

another thing that works for me is not opening cashtables while tourneytables are starting/almost starting, this seems to be connected with my crashes, but im not 100% sure how it's related yet

PC: AMD X6 (6core) @3.9 Ghz, 8GB, 560TI, SSD's for everything poker related and OS, Win10 x64, drivers up to date, virus/malwarefree, just FYI

This is a problem and needs to be fixed asap. I don't want to give anyone any ideas but this actually opens the doors to some angling that we don't want.

Unibet needs to make it so what others see at the table is the same in real time for the player sitting out. Until they can do this your suggestion of a player not sitting in at the beginning of the hand is a valid one despite the poor guy who went to the bathroom missing a hand.

How much is effective rake back going to be reduced this quarter compared to last?

Hi Andrew

Could you convert all my cashtickets into a bonus?

Thanks
