Hands report as of close of play May 26th:

Attached Image

Yay so happy to see a green back in the mix. I think we will see most players hit it by the end of the month. Again some new players in there which is why their count may be low. Obviously you can see who are the lazy ones by just going a few pages back and seeing who has been here for the full month :). I will not name and shame tho!

Profit/Loss Per Day

May 27th: -€383.97

Biggest Winner (in buy ins): BallsOfSteel who won just short of 3 buy ins!

Number of stakees who hit the tables: 11/13

So a devastating day tbh and not good to see at all. Pretty much everyone lost which is never fun to see. Was needing a big + day like this towards the end of the month not a losing one. We have 3 days to go and we really need to see some profit. I will be mixing things up June 1st with players stakes and so on so grind hard and make sure your getting moved up!

I heard that at one point 4/6 of our players were on the same table which i think is incredibly dumb. I am fine with the stakees playing one another but just using your brains and thinking "this is a table full of regs" or "they probably know how i play" should make you want to find a better table in general. Maybe some egos were getting in the way? Being smart and making money is better than well the alternative.

Big push guys and lets get some of you up the stakes and making huge money this summer.

Incredibly daft to be all on same table.....unless there just trying to get through some hands quickly without losing too much for their monthly contractual hands.They are in a group on Skype together aren't they.

Either way I'd be worried.

I was one of the 4, and think you are all getting it a bit out of hand.
I was the 4th, there is no table preview so was unaware. Also playing 8 tables, so only noticed once in the BB. As soon as it happened 3/4 left the table and that was that.

Yeah taking it way out of proportion. When multi tabling its sometimes difficult to see exactly who you are playing with when you have been added to a table after being on a global waitlist. As soon as we realised we were on the same tables we left. It wasn't many hands, its not as if we sat there all night battling it out with each other.

Yep some players will be getting a nice pay packet. I have not looked at the buy ins yet but whoever has won the most wins the tourni ticket!

Hands Report - Close of play May 28th

Ok so this will be the last hand report of the month. You all know what you need to do and well the lockdown should help you achieve that. Again i must stress that even if you are losing you still need to hit the contract. If you are losing, not playing many hands and not bothering on the forum then we cannot continue with you. However if we see you really trying we will fund you until it turns around. We just need to see some heart basically.

Profit/Loss Per Day

May 28th: -€385.10

Biggest Winner (in buy ins):Scrimitzu who won an insane 7.5 buy ins! Real heater to close the month out!

Number of stakees who hit the tables: 12/13

Sadly we had to say goodbye to our 50nl player yesterday. Although this may sound like a public flaming i just have to get the point across. If you are lazy during the month and have only hit 10k hands by the 22nd, winning 10bi and never posted on the forum then you are not likely to get paid. So this leaves you the option to either not get paid or mass table and hope u hit the hands. Sadly when doing this you lose the money you have won and possibly more. This is why i nag so hard during the month. The whole point of this is so people make money - i can only tell you 100 times to grind more and not to leave it until the end. I am very gutted we have lost him as imo he is one of the best players i have seen in a long time. The problem is as we know being a great player only will not make you successful in poker. You have to have drive, motivation, determination, learn, focus and use common sense. Lesson learnt i hope for a few people here and we should not run into this issue again.

Big grind this weekend team!

Yeh i hear you buddy. Sadly this is the only place we stake players on and it will be like that for the foreseeable future. If you ever feel like you could do it get in touch. 30k is the minimum (i expect 40-50k) which i would really need to be able to sign anyone up.

May Report:

Table loss: -€2484.54

I am somewhat embarrassed by this loss as i am of course held accountable for what happens with our players. There have been a couple of occasions i have given players an extra bit of rope to try and turn things around or maybe not acted quick enough to stop certain bleeding. One thing which did hurt was a couple of players smashing their stop loss (they have or will pay it back) and also our 50nl player deciding to smash off a ton of money day after day for god knows what reason. Obviously with rake back and everything else this is still going to be a +1250 euro net loss so no matter how you look at it I/we failed. I will do more to turn this around such as be quicker with making video reviews, answering more hands and giving players as many incentives as possible. But it really does fall onto the players to grind hard, use common sense and to do their best.

Players hand report (will post pic when i receive final standings):

Reward for players who hit 60k hands: 0 awarded

Reward for players who hit 100k hands: 0 awarded

Biggest overall winner (measure in buy ins): Goes to Jimbob88 who won 12.5 buy ins. Nice effort bro and will credit your ticket shortly.

So we put that month behind us and move on to have a successful June. It is somewhat make or break for us this month, we need to see way less of a loss or ideally some profit! Lots of time and money is going into this on both sides (management & players) so lets make it worth our while and turn this around.

As for motivation this month players have everything they need:

- Rake back
- Lockdown
- Top 200 Rake Race
- 50k Cash Drop
- 30k Gadget Giveaway
- Table PROFIT!!!

The lockdown will run June 27th/28th and all info will go up in our BBB forum and linked in here. Remember all rb, bonuses and promos go towards your overall profit/loss and is split 50/50.

So can we turn it around and make shit happen this month? Or will we all be lining up outside the job centre in July?

Shame no 60k and 100k prizes were given out. Especially at microstakes if you look at it in terms of rakeback its insanely good.
