Hi spinky,
thanks mate, yeah it's so tempting to go back there, but they are 'hard work' aren't they.
if it was 'all about the money' i would for sure.
yeah know what you mean about those bad beats mate, but i guess it's all part of poker. i just find them easier to handle playing DYM's as i'm straight on to the next game and hardly give it any thought now, whereas cash it can effect my whole night, sometimes.
i found the £5's harder and in the end, decided to just play the £3's.
i think you have to decide what you want from DYM's, easy money now, (which i went with
or stick with the £5's and maybe move up to the £11's and above in time?
look how well jac35's doing now.
think the £5's the players are better so you need new strategies, maybe? and make a few changes from how you were/are playing the £3's, just my quick thoughts right now.
maybe more notes on players too,(and play less tables,) which i found i didn't need at the £3's, i knew all the good regs and how they played, so didn't need them.
i would stick to the £5's if possible, as long as you are coming out level or better, as i'm sure 'long term' it will pay off for you.
good luck with it, keep us posted how you're doing.

TBH, £5 isnt tougher then £3, i dont even think £20 games are much tougher. i think a lot of it might be to do with you being a bit more scared because your subconciously aware your playing with more money, or aware if you lose this flip your losing £5 instead of £3 so that maybe effects your play and doesnt allow you to be as free with your play.
You seem like you got a good record on dym, so maybe its worth giving it another go? maybe to keep you motivated and not see it as "hard work" you should up your stakes, and just play the 1 table a time?

Really good post from Alex.

Ian
we've chatted before about this. There isn't much difference at all between the £3's and the £5's. It's just a mental thing for you I believe.
Don't really get the hard work thing. Personally I would find the low stake cash harder work. You know that you beat the Dyms comfortably. Why not play them?
If you really want to continue with the cash then why not mix it up a bit? To keep your bankroll healthy you could play DYM's one day and cash next time you play. Wouldn't advise playing both simultaneously.

Cheers Alex,
i did give the £5's a good go and found them harder than the £3's to beat, that's not to say i wouldn't/couldn't win playing them over a longer time frame, ie; a few months of continuos play.
i must have played several hundred of them and came out around level, money wise.
the £3's gave me a descent return, so i opted to just play them in the end.
yes, the swings are bigger for sure, so you do need a good b/r.
i tried playing them exactly the same as the £3's in the end. yes, i did think about the money for sure to start with, but as my b/r got bigger, i don't believe that was a factor in the end.
i did try the £11's one night and lost 7/8 i think it was, so that was the end of that.
i'm sure Jac is right that it became a mental issue in the end, too.
i've only got a b/r of £34 atm , so am limited with what stakes i play, wouldn't want to go any higher than £3
but i get what you are saying about playing just 1 table at a higher level, maybe one day.
anyway Alex, thank you for your post.
i seem to be getting an idea of what to do, and where i'm going to go with my poker this year.

Thanks Paul,
yes, i'm sure you are right, it did become a big mental battle in the end mate, so i stayed in my 'comfort zone'
and that was that.
being hard work, i'm reffering to the number of tables i played in comparison to cash.
trust me 15/18 is harder than 1 or 2. he he
i would like to continue playing cash, that's been my target since the start of last year. if i was to stop now i think that would be accepting defeat, and all the hard work would have been for nothing.
however, there might well come a time when enough is enough i guess.
i might just have a look over DYM way though, and play a few just to see how we go...
can't see me loading up one with you on though, he he
