Just my update for all these DYM's. So far this weekend hasn't been great, plenty of silly calls to all in's & being rivered, but hey that's poker right?!?
I had a good run yesterday morning and was on for 9 in a row untl my pk Js shove pre got called by A7 and they hit the A. Then in the evening towards the end of the night i was +29 and then my KK QQ and so on started losing to silly calls and lost 5 in a row. Feeling really ill at the moment so dont think i can concentrate on any today but heres my stats so far.

is this a fold pre and at what stage does it become a raising spot ?

I totally agree with the fold here. the blind sizes are high and this is a speculative hand at best hand.
In my opinion there are a few times when you would play this hand;
a) low blind levels, so level 1-3. I would limp in, in position and play the hand from there.
b) Later I would consider playing this aggressively on the button, or defending BB.
c) shortstacked this is a beautiful hand to shove with late on, best case scenario everyone folds pre flop, and if someone calls it has a good chance of standing up.
In the same tight game is any Ace a raise pre and what size would you make it ?

Hey MP33 hope you don't mind me commenting on these hands, I don't have anywhere near as much experience as the rest of the thread, but feel that my development as a DYM player would improve by inputting here.
I personally would have folded the reason being, if I raised like you did, and got re-raised, I would not be confident re-re-raising all in. If I have read the hand desciprition you weren't shortstacked or in any danger of getting blinded out, I would sit tight and wait for a more premium hand or someone else to make a mistake.
The only time I would play this hand is if I am shortstacked and in danger of getting blinded out. Then it would be All-In and pray to poker gods.

Didn't end up playing Thursday night :-( and only managed 12 games last night. W 6 L 6 Bankroll - £268.52. Definately watching tonights show, though, and hopefully getting a few games in too... Posted by JohnConnor
How did tonights play go?
I had one of my best sessions yet
Played 21 W15 L 6
Bankroll up to £84.18
Rolled for the £3.30's but found the play tonight was softer on the £2.25's so stuck to playing them

Grats! coming along nicely! I might play some more DYMs tomorrow... maybe...
Sorry there's been no update for a while I haven't managed to find very much poker time at all just lately :-(. I did play Saturday and had a very frustrating small losing session. Here are the stats from that:
Played 28 £11s W 14 L 14 Bankroll - £240.52
Will be looking to steady the ship a bit now, starting tonight when I intend to be playing a few. Good luck everyone, good to see some great progress being made on this thread.
I would start raising the A10 if I had 1800 chips or less and I'd be shoving 100% of the time in that case. I would fold it UTG otherwise. The A8 I probably fold too, to be honest, alot of the time. However I don't mind the steal at all if the conditions are right and here the stack sizes look ok and the stage of the game means the BB is probably playing very tight. If that's the case I think a steal is a good play. I'd definately be min raising, though, I don't think there's any need to waste the extra 100 chips on the times when you fold to a shove. If there's some (fairly odd) reason why you think the guy might be folding to a min+100 raise more than he is to a min raise then it's fine.
Just two mini sessions to report. The first was a rather frustrating W 6 L 6 where I don't think I ran particularly well. The second was a much better one tonight where I had some extremely welcome run good. That ended W 10 L 3. Total after both:
Played 25 £11s W 16 L 9 Bankroll - £285.52
Bankroll is just the highest it's been since starting and 3,000 C4Ps should easily be achievable for a £50 bonus. Happy at the moment after 3 extremely frustrating sessions previously. Hope your challenges are all going well.

Keep up the good work mate!! I will post my latest stats now!
My latest DYM update. Yesterday was probably my worst session this month. I ran so bad it was unreal. It seems to be the 'time of the month' for running bad after chatting to some of you, so made me feel a little better Anyway my latest DYM stats are as follows:

Nice one JC, your challenge is coming on along nicely! Are you going to be playing in the XMAS ops?

Due to unforeseen circumstance my girlfriend is going to have to fly overseas for 5 days, as much as I love her and I am going to miss her, I am quite happy that I am going to be able to put in an extreme volume of poker in. See you all on the tables.
