okay so finally i recived a mail from
the international UNibet support :
_________________________________________________________
Thank you for your email.
Yes the is a affiliate of Unibet so it's not a scam.
_________________________________________________________
they are currently trying to tag me manually again >_<
Does anyone have an idea why the couldnt tag me ?
last 5 days >_<
i can play little to no poker since university
I signed with Unibet
and a 3 month 60% rakebackdeal at
Rackebacklovers.com ( after the 3 month i will get 30-50% depending on how many FPPs i gather)
First this sounded too good to be true
but it seemed they were quite a quality site and they also offered some of the random rakeback deals any site offers
Like FullTilt poker 27% rakeback etc.
3 days left and nothing happend.
I wrote to support of rakebacklovers
they replied :
Thanks for your mail.
It takes some time since Unibet have to approve so many player accounts. You
will receive a mail that confirms that your poker account at Unibet is
approved.
Best regards
Philip Karsjo
---------------------------------------------
so i waited another 2 days till i recieved this mail
----------------------------------------------------------------
"
Your Unibet account has not been accepted "
------------------------------------------------------------------
just 1 sentence without any explanations ...
I instantly changed my password and Unibet ^_^
OFC i was pissed about that and atfer password change i immediately wrote the Rackebacklovers support
and recieved the following :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Andreas,
I will contact Unibet and ask why, and then I will inform you.
Best regards

RakebackLovers.com
a few minutes later :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sir,
Your account was tag to another affiliate. So we cant track you to us. Im
sorry for this. If you still would like to have a good deal at the
Microgaming network. Please see our deal at Tellpoker http://www.rakebacklovers.com/offers/tellpoker
Best Regards,
Alexander
RakebackLovers.com
I told them that this is total bullshit since i never ever played at microgaming network ever before in my life.
so how can i have an affiliate.
they replied :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear sir,
Can you pls contact unibet@rakebacklovers.com . They will sort this thing
out.
Best Regards,
Philip
RakebackLovers.com
So i told them the whole situation and i am still waiting for an answer
this was 2 hours ago.
>-<
On another note ... i contacted the german Unibetpoker support and recieved the following
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sir
Thank you for your mail.
Unfortunately I am unaware about a promotion named "Rakebacklovers " for German customers. Kindly give us some more information's about this promotion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T_T
I still see a small chance everything will work out well in the end
since german support usually sucks and they almost never have a clue about anything thats concerning their job.
well worst case = i dont get rackeback
and a shitty site recieved my e-mail adress and home adress >_<
I can imagine worse happening in life
I am still kinda angry atm.
i changed from $ to euros when it was 1€ = 1,472
I was not sure if its a good thing to change when euro was that high but
now 5 days later its 1€ = 1,4907 $
really looks like € breaks 1,50 $ soon
$ sucks
€ rocks
besides that i have my biggest test tomorrow
wish me luck
and i think after i finished my University tests 8.February i will try to pull of at least 60K hands and 1,4 K profit in february
hope i can do this
I miss poker
Yesterday before i went to bed i checked the $ - € exchange rate.
I do this from time to time and i am happy cause i changed from $ to € lately joining Unibet poker.
on the bottom of this site was a guy who said he is a high stakes poker player from germany playing the highes stakes available
(probably Schniblor ? ^^ since he is the only german online poker player playing the highest stakes available)
and wants advice if he should change from $ to euros now or if there is a chance $ will recover in the future.
Funny thing was the replies from the financial experts didnt even adress his original question..
they made fun of him being a poker player and how he is a stupid gambling addict and how lol poker is and all.
They send him a link for a gambling addict Forum on the internet.
>_<
Its written in german , so you probably cant read it.
I clicked the link cause i was very interested about having some funny degen stories to read ^^
But what i found was beyond everything i expectet.
People telling their online poker stories and how they lose money everday. Begging to find help for quitting their addiction
Others were replying and wishing them the best of luck to get rid of the gambling hell that is online poker
They told stories how they were big losers online but finally managed to quit poker and now have a better life.
There were field reports from former online poker players and how they needed 3 years to find out its all luck.
ZOMG >_<
Worst thing was that finnaly someone from a TV station appeared in the forums and was recruiting people for a TV reportage
about the dangers of online poker ...
Several people were willing to tell about their experiences >_<
LOL i did not know if i should burst in laughter or feel sad that god created such pitful creatures.
On the other hand , we take their money so its nice they are around
I was thinking of registering for a momment and ask about their favourite sites
but then thought this probably wouldnt be a too good idea.
SInce even though i think its their own fault that they are so stupid i still think i should not make it worse than it is anyways.
SOme of the stories were just lol ...
f.e
one younger guy losing his entire 15 K Bankroll of non poker life earings in 15/30 $ game !!!!!
He said he had won several small life tournaments in his region and has good understanding of the game but luck pwnd him ...
Lol how can he have good understanding of Poker when he plays 15/30 $ with a 15K roll >_<
Yeha he won some small life tournaments ...
thats enough skill to join 15/30$ games since its where all the newbees play ?
one guy claimed he played 5/10 and lost 3000$ in 2 weeks to make him busto just cause AA and stuff didnt hold.
[x] poker is all luck
[ ] 3 buy in BR management is bad
Others claimed that poker cant be played profitable !
since the blinds are the edge of the pokersite >_<
Rofl ! no joke ! they really claimed that Blinds make Poker a loosing game >_<
ha well ,
I just wanted to write about it in my blog
cause i felt like i have to write about it.
GL ALl
btw
i am up 55$ (38€) on Unibet in 500 hands
my Downswing ended
I didnt stand the feeling of not having played 1 hand of poker for 11 days in a row ...
so i did 2 small sessions yesterday >_<
I changed to Unibet for rakeback and euro currency
played
like 300 hands or so
+ 40$ ( 27,50 €)
didnt get Pokertracker to work yet ( but i guess i ll fix the problem in the future)
So after losing 350$ in 2500 hands on NL50 / NL25 Stars before i took the 11day break
it feels good to finaly have a winning session again
Furthermore it feels good to play some hands of poker after 11 days break due to University tests.
but now i must take a 11 day break again .. since i have so much tests comming up.
I guess after i finished the tests i will probably play a TON of poker
i really miss the daily grind.
PS : lol Unibet tables are so fucking fast.
Average 105 hands/h on 6max
Stars = 70 hands/h on 6max
i timed out like 3 times during the sessions while 2 tabling
So i am still on poker break due to university stuff T_T
I did good in my last 2 exams and i am pretty sure i passed them
i still have 5 more tests to come from 30.1 to 8.2 >_<
after that i will return to poker and grind out like mad
At least thats my plan.
I also Intend to change from Pokerstars to Unibet.
Pokerstars Software ist the absolut nutz ( especially the fact that u can totally customize backgrounds)
However there are 2 things that i dont like
1. Its in $
1.1
Despite the fact , that lots of people claim the $ wont lose value anymore in the future
Its basically been on a free fall since i started online poker in December 2006.
The development has been steady fall from € = 1,25$ to € = 1,47$
thats a fucking 15% over 1 Year
here u can see the developement of the euro compared to the USD in the last 2 years.
to be honest i dont see this stopping soon.
I am afraid it will be 1,58$ or even 1,65$ in the long run.
1.2 Its a nice feeling to be independent from currency variance since when i play in € all the stuff i have to pay for here in ger is in euros anyways.
2.) Rakeback
Stars has FPP which are kinda okay ... still on low limits its not really as good as rakeback
since all u can do with your FPPs is buy in 10+1$ tournaments by winning 70FPP sattelites.
on Unibet i found one where u get
30% rakeback when u earn 100€ - 999€ rake a month
40% rakeback when u earn 1000€ - 2499€ rake/month
50% rakeback when u earn 2500€ + rake /month
planning to play like 30 K hands a month of NL30 ( Nl 20€) this should earn me ~ 150 € (225$) extra a month which is >>> playing 70FPP sattelites on stars.
3.) I am aware of the problematic that the rake cap on € sites is 3€ instead of 3$
However this will not affect NL30 since an all-in with fullstacks will produce exactly 2€ = 3$ of rake
therefore there is no difference to Nl25 stars.
And i plan to grind out NL30 ( Nl20€) for some month before moving up
didnt play poker for 3 days
yesterday i had my first university test for this semester and i think i did okay
not sure if i passed it since we needed a fucking 70% of the points to pass >_<
It were 5 pages with 5 questions each 3-4 points we had 90 minutes to write the test.
well i answered most of the questions pretty fast but i am not sure if i managed to be 70% + in points.
there is a chance though
so after the test yesterday my next test is on 23.1 ( wednesday next week)
i thought i could play some poker today ;P
got anal raped - 5 1/2 buy ins on Nl25 in 600 hands
so last 2 sessions were horrible >_< - 3 buy ins on Nl50 and now - 5 1/2 on Nl25
btw
i reinstalled Hitman2
for tilt control
and even though its kinda old ( from 2001) its still a very nice game.
maybe i ll do a short evening session since i cant play poker for the rest of the week
and most likely for the rest of the whole month
( today is the only day where i have like a bit of time in January)
There is a difference between doing something with passion and being addicted.
If you do something with passion , it enriches your life
everytime you do something with passion you not only ejoy the business itself but furthermore add some joy to your life
instead
if u are addicted to something your life becomes poorer.
In fact the only thing that you can still enjoy is the business itself
Instead of being a part of the wonderful diversity of life u start to hide and seperate from it.
sry my english is medicore ... so i probably didnt translate it 100% correct from german to english >_<
nevertheless i hope u get the idea.
I found this a very nice statement with lots of truth in it.
didnt play any poker yesterday
and i also wont play today
I miss the pokerz very much though
I feel like i really love poker even more than i loved starcraft back then ( I was never any good at starcraft .. just a C- PGT newb but i still loved it)
LOl found this video
Not really that funny
but i lik it
