£40 to £1,040.... dev's 2nd DYM/CASH challenge.

devonfish5

Hi all,

Just deposited £40, not played any poker properly for a long time.( been busy teaching myself to paint,watercolours mainly for the past 12 months). Got fed up with playing cash a long time ago.

so decided today to try another DYM challenge, the money is always nice, but also just for the fun of it, hopefully anyway.

I'm sure many of you will know I did this exact same challenge 2 years ago now...how time flies,so it will be interesting to see how this one compares I think.

how long will it take? I guess is always a good question. I am in no particular hurry to finish this, but before xmas would be nice. not sure how many tables I'll play or how long each session will be, but it definitely won't be as 'full on' as last time.(by that I mean playing 100-150 games per night,

EDIT; 9/7/14

I'll start at the £1 games as I did last time, and hopefully move up to the £3's if/when  b/r is around the £300 region.

I WILL SHOW YOU ONCE AND FOR ALL THAT THE £1 LEVEL IS BEATABLE.  

(all this rubbish I hear about how the 15% makes it almost impossible to win, is rubbish, and how 'the house' is the only winner, is laughable.  EDIT END.

EDIT; 1/8/14  finished playing £1 as my b/r is now getting close to £150, so will concentrate on £2 & £3 games from now on.

had a 65% win rate playing them in July & showed a profit of £45.90 from playing them.

not sure if i'll bother with £5 level this time, as this move definitely slowed me down considerably last time.

anyway, that's it, just need to load up some tables now & get cracking.

hope you will enjoy this diary and if anyone has any questions,especially you DYM players, feel free to ask them.

all for now,

best wishes,

Dev.

day 1

saturday 14/6/14

Lost £7  b/r £33.00

£1 W 3  L 2  +£0.25

£2 W 1  L 4   -£7.25

rubbish start, ran kk into AA, 1 game

played pretty rubbish if I am being honest, but that's why I am at the £1/£2 level now with my b/r so low.

If i had been playing just say the £3's I would have lost £9. 

still, not panicing just yet, there's a long long long way to go.

another day tomorrow.

Hi Dev welcome back.

Good luck with this challenge. 

Can't belive it was 2 years ago your last DYM challenge. Following that one got me playing DYMs. At the start of this year i started playing them seriously i started with £20.00 playing £3 Dyms. I have made  profits each month since. I had trouble with £5 DYMs when i first started on them but do ok now. I am currently playing £5 and £10 levels.

I shall follow your challenge with interest.

Thanks mate,

wow, £5 & £10  that's brilliant, very well done.

I remember you starting out, and always thought that you would do well, as I remember you being quite keen to learn.

yes, 2 years ago since the last one... time has just flown by hasn't it.

I struggled on the £5's during that challenge and basically gave up on them in the end.

how did you get over the hurdle? if you don't mind me asking.

did you have to make any changes playing wise? or did you simply carry on as if you were playing the £3's?

best wishes spinky.

Hi Dev i reduced the amount of tables i played to 2 or 3 studied the other players at the tables and really concentrated on Bubble play.

Cheers mate,

all makes sense.  

I think where i went wrong was trying to play too many tables.

how many tables are you playing now?

thanks,

Welcome back Ian  I hope you're not rusty, looking at only £33 in your account must be a bit scary.

I'm sure you'll be fine once you get some upwards momentum going, good luck.
