Low Stake PLO DYM Blog

Apologies if wrong area to post....

Last night (09/02/2014) I cashed out leaving just a 1.98 BR and 78 Sky points (hope to carry over £1+ end of month)

Had something I wanted to buy so thought what better way to use poker winnings.

The aim of leaving some behind is to spin it upto £52 just playing 0.50+0.10 PLO DYM - figure they offer the least variance. Then Cash out the £50 & start again - putting that £50 towards something or as a save for something.

So.... not hugely ambitious but then I am just a recreational player - worst case scenario is I lose 3 DYM in a row and it will be a very short blog ;)

Will keep the post updated and I'll try not to badbeat tilt and hit the NL holdem low stake HU SNG's which cough cough I may have done in the past...

Start 10/02/2014

February - (Day 2) 8 wins & 5 losses (points 91) BR:£0.28 - Challenge ended :( conclusioon in post below...

Rollercoaster first session - had to play a 50p + 5p NL HU as dropped below 60p lol - nearly a disaster!
2nd session - flogging a dead horse (not running well or maybes my mind set is different)

    Epic fail....

    Just ran the worst -

    Last hand was 4 handed 3 played - i flopped middle set (QQQ) and a queen high 2nd nut flush draw - I was middle position (BB) I think. I bet and one folded but one called

    Turn was Jack of spades so get the 2nd nut flush with FH & Quad draw - all in ensued.

    Guy had the nut flush king high :(

    what made it really funny was the guy ran like god spinning up from just 150 chips left 4 hands earlier blinds 150/300.

    Feeling a little hard done by from how many times been drawn out on - edit* but thats poker :)

    No doubt your results are excellent and if you keep playing the same way your win ratio will continue into 2.25 and 3 pounders and your profit will improve simply due to paying less rake. Obviously it about playing what your comfortable with but you need to consider the % rake your paying shich is crazy imo. 

    Now let me set you a challenge, try 5, 2.25 pounders and let me know how you get on.

    Unlucky there Mr Waooga, but no matter how good you are, you'll suffer these little setbacks & occasionally lose 4 or 5 in a row, it's the nature of the beast.

    Keep trying, & doing the right things, & you'll be just fine in the long-term.

    If you have any questions about SNG strategy generally, or want to discuss a particular situation or hand, there is now a SNG Strategy Board, which is HERE

    Thanks guys for the comments and feedback, much appreciated.

    I know long term I'm profitable - The conclusion, which I know is nothing new - is that BR management is key. Cashing out and leaving only 3 buyins opens you up to the bad side of variance.

    Trying to spinup is abit of fun but not relaible for longterm profitablility.

    Re-depositing some of those earlier winnings with a more responsible BR :) well.... I aint going to let those 91p worth of poker points go at the end of the month ;)

    And I'll consider BR to get away from the 20% rake SNG's at somepoint - I checked your stats Ger (sorry I'm nosey) and my chart curve is similar but you have a fair few more zeros on the amounts of winnings!

    Best Wishes
