Well, clearly doing a better job than me mate! I've lost my B/R Challenge as now down to 20p and unable to play any more DYM's or anything which leaves me with just the poker points to participate in freerolls. Posted by GaryLaud
Oh dear - what are your plans now then? Re-deposit?
I'll probably come across your diary later on tonight - these are literally the first few posts I am making after my little break.
Right, so as it turns out, I didn't play yesterday - was catching up on e-mails and wasn't really in the right frame of mind.
I will be playing today though, just as UKOPS begins!! Don't worry, I won't go crazy like I did in the past. I will be entering a maximum of one satellite per day, at a maximum price of £3. I have already entered the £4K UKOPS Direct for £2.40 at 1:20. If I lose then I will be back on the DYM's.
Played 1 x £4K UKOPS Direct (result: 4th/28 - needed 3rd for cash!!)* Played 1 x £4K UKOPS FR (result: out very early) Played 1 x Free Seats FR (result: 48th/450 - getting in KK vs AA did the damage)

Didn't play any DYM's today, but here is my record so far anyway:
Mini "100 x £3.30 DYM" Challenge
Played: 27 Cashes: 17 Fails: 10
Balance now £124.70, will update the first post now :-)
Didn't play yesterday (Saturday), but really had a lot of fun today! I said that I would not spend more than £3 per day on UKOPS. I decided to amalgamate the Saturday £3 (which I didn't spend) and today's £3 to enter the £6 buy-in £8K UKOPS Direct tournment. Result below:
Played 1 x £8K UKOPS Direct (result: 1st/15 - qualified!) Played 1 x £8K UKOPS B/H (result: out after just over one hour, no heads)
Delighted to have qualified for the BH, just wish I had taken one head - would have meant a profit. Was a bit of a crazy tournament for me actually, kept jumping quite dramatically between starting stack and nothing ... I was playing aggressively, but I did actually have decent cards behind me too, kept getting cruel flops though. The one that stands out in the memory is getting it in pre with the hand that always screws me (AK suited, OTB) and coming up against AQ unsuited. Flop comes AQx, big loss for me. That's poker sometimes though!
Not going to play UKOPS tomorrow, but I will hit the DYM's! Record is currently:
Had a tonne of fun yesterday! Started 3-tabling and found it surprisingly easy!! :-)
Played 9 x £3.30 Double Your Money (results: 6th, 6th, 5th, 2nd, 3rd, 3rd, 2nd, 3rd, 2nd)
Interesting that the first three games I wasn't concentrating and did very badly - and the last six games where I was concentrating, I was awesome Seriously, playing really well - I feel like I'm now getting this poker malarchy!
Instead of DYM's today I was playing mostly HU games (as part of Larson's forum competition).
Played 8 x £1 Heads-Up (results: 1st, 1st, 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 1st, 2nd, 1st) Played 1 x Rainman* Deep Stack (result: 8th/42, top six got paid. A little annoying to be out so close to the cash, but it was good fun!)
*Promised him I would play it - you all know the tournament I mean, the £2.20 @ 2:20.
Had these two hands in the space of five minutes today:
Hi Peter, You were my lucky charm yesterday, i played the 1.10 deepsatake at 7.45 and was 4th, lets hope this ends my bad run. thank you peter. You be lucky. Take care. From truly56

Played 14 x £3.30 Double Your Money (results: 2nd, 4th, 1st, 4th, 1st, 4th, 1st, 5th, 5th) ..
.. they were my first nine results. Stood at 4 cashes, 5 fails - quickly realised that is just wasn't working. After going back an analysing my play I came to the conclusion that I was playing WAY too loose. I decided to tighten up:
(rest of the results: 1st, 3rd, 2nd, 3rd, 3rd) - yep, 100% cashes! I find it incredible that such a small tweak could be the difference between success and failure - poker is an incredible game. It is also justification for me that I can be a good player when I'm fully concentrating on my play :-)

Well done Peter. I'm not sure if you saw it but Ross Jarvis and Ric Orford did a whole hour on DYM play. Try find it on YouTube or look out for it being repeated. Should help you a lot.

I did see that, and was one of the people who originally requested it :-)

I realise I have yet to get round to your private message by the way - I have read them but have not had a chance to respond yet, will try today :-)
Many thanks for the tip though, very thoughtful.

Balance was correct however.
