Unibet Riga Open

Few days ago decided to take a shot and try winning myself a €2,500 Unibet Riga Open Main Event package. Since i want to start playing some live tournaments, this one seemed as a good place to start my career, cause it's quite close to my home (only 300km away).

There are various buy-in sattelites running, cheapest ones are freerolls with €0.5 or €0.25 rebuys. Here's all of them:

I've already played €110 final once, no luck :) Tho, today won €275 and €110 tickets(always starting at €2 or €4 rebuys) and so will have two more chances to win it soon :)

Made few deposits for a total of €260 and so far spent ~€180 of the them. Fields are really soft and small (there were 36 players in €110 Tuesday Final) which makes it quite easy to advance through steps(didn't get a ticket at €4 only once, because ran out of money for rebuys :D ). Had one super easy win @ €2 rebuy, it had 6 GTD tickets and only 6 people registered, so insta win lol.

Unibet has really annoying late reg system. If there are 10 players at the tournament (10max tables) and you late reg, table won't be split into two 5handed and 6handed tables, instead you will have to wait until someone busts out of the tournament so you can take his seat. Also, you can't unregister while you're waiting for a seat. I saw people late regging into rebuys at 200/100 blinds and being seated only at 1k/500 blinds with 3,000 chips lol.

Software is of course not the best either, takes ~10 seconds until the table loads, lobby doesn't have enough filters(like none at all, unless i can't find them). Also, i'm having troubles with HEM, can't get a HUD working without using "Table Finder" and even then, it sometimes doesn't show up for some players and for some there are two HUDs lol. But well, since i'm not playing many tables there, i'm fine with it :)

So, that's it for now. Follow me on twitter if you want fast updates on how i'm doing in weekly final sats(Sunday and Tuesday evenings) !

Good luck at the tables,
