In Response to Re: Can you make good money playing DYMs? : Sorry for derail Mikey. I suppose it's still all about Dyms though, so all good. Waller The stats are great. Not sure that there's a lot to learn for you. The games I've played with you recently, you've been really tough to play against. Dohhhhh Didn't mean to be so pedantic Posted by Jac35
Thanks for all the help guys! i dont mind its all relavent to me lol see you's at the tables
Quick question, If I were to play 20 tables a day @£11 dyms for 25 days of the month total 500 tables with a 8% ROI around £0.88 profit per table, total profit of £440 a month, How much rakeback would I get?

Hi AAAAAAAAAAA......
This is quite interesting to me, because I've just done (almost) exactly that, & detailed the results in my little Diary every single day. (I mean, I've played over 500 DYM's in a month, NOT made 8%!)
Your question contains 2 red herrings - the profit per table, & ROI, are both completely irrelevant, & not connected, to the Reward Points & Reward Points payments you receive. You get the same Reward Points whether you win or lose.
Anyway.....
For every £11 (£10 + £1) DYM, you ordinarily receive TEN Reward Points.
So, play 500 of them, & you will get 500 x 10 points, = 5,000 points.
5,000 points would entitle you to exactly £100 in Reward Points payment, assuming you were opted in, & entitled to them.
Note that if you fall even ONE point short of 5,000, you only get 1.5p per point, so you'd get a shade under £75.
Once you exceed 5,000, then your points become worth two pence each, so 5,000 x £0.02 = £100.00.
You should also look out for the occasional SNG "Double Rewards Weeks" (or Weekends) which Sky Poker offer from time to time. These make a HUGE difference to the Rewards Points you can earn. It does require a little personal sacrifice to put the extra hours in, or modify the times you play, but it is, arguably, worth the effort. Of course, as we've seen recently, many players expect extra bonuses without making any effort. It DOES require a bit of effort, but you don't seem the kind of chap to be bothered by that.
Good luck.
Incidentally......
It may not be of interest to you, but playing hundreds of these these DYM's every month is all about self-discipline. Many players find it is helpful to them if they keep a little "progress Diary". This can be "private", at home on "WORD" or whatever, or maybe here on the Community. It is a very stranfe thing, but keeping a strict daily record/Diary of progress ticks a lot of psychological boxes, & DOES help you perform better. Probably.
Think you have had some great advice in this thread, very little to disagree with, & all very helpful. Some Community, this, eh?
One thing, however, I would urge you to consider.
You asked, & got some great replies, about ROI.
ROI can get a bit distorted by various things, complicated, & be measured in a variety of ways.
Personally, I'd be thinking more along the "profit per DYM" line, than ROI.
The thing with Online Poker is that it is hard to equate Online Money with real money, money we jangle in our pocket, ten bob notes, that we can spend in the shops.
If we know we make, say, 50p per DYM, & play 500 per month, it's easy. That's £250, right? And we can buy ourself a new car, or suite of furniture, or whatever, with that £250.
But try going to Tesco or Sainsbury & spending ROI. They don't take ROI.

You can see the "points bands" HERE
