    I auctually found 5.50s a little easier dunno why. But BRM is the key as last week I had a horrible session and lost around 10 in a row.

    As you already know 1.15 and 2.25 eat the rake.

    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.

    Thanks Gary,
    I am a bit rusty mate... struggling on just 9 tables at the moment  :)
    yes as you know it's the start that is always the tricky bit.
    hope you & Leah are both well.
    what are you playing these days?
    best wishes,
    Ian

    Hi mate,
    yes it's a real killer when those bad runs come along, isn't it.
    stick with it, even dropping down to the £3's is never a bad thing.
    funny old game at times dym's, i crushed the £3's last time out, but never made the same impact at the £5 level.
    if and it's if i play them again, i'll deffo be playing way less tables than last time, maybe just 1 or 2.
    only problem is i am so used to multi-tabling now, it is hard to break the habit.  :)
    gl mate,

    day 2
    Sunday  15/6/14

    1st 'bingo day'

    £1  w 4  +£3.40
          l  4  -£4.60
                --------
                -£1.20

    £2  w 6  +£10.50
          l  4  -£9.00
               ---------
               +£1.50

    won £0.30  b/r  £33.30

    another rough session, but ground out the little win, so very happy not to lose again :)
    playing 9 tables again, which feels strange after not playing that many for almost 2 years now
    but i'm sure a few more sessions and it will feel just like old times.  :)

    Yes. I keep hearing about that. You should try playing with a very limited BR Like I have got just shy of £11 which I'm using to play the 60p DYM's.

    However, even still I get 40p profit for each "Cash/Win" so I still feel I can build a BR at this level, I am sure that Devonfish can do the same!

    Well I couldn't, I played a right few 30p, 60p, 1.15 dyms and couldn't make money at them.

    Now even with my bad run last week I have a healthy profit from 5.50s, ok profit at 3s and 2s.

    Rake it just too much on this site at micro stakes.

    I hovered around a £50 BR for a long while then just decided to try 2.25s and 3.30s and never looked back.

    Hi mate,
    yes it is possible to beat the 60p level, i did start there...for a day or so  :)
    I also used the 60p & £1 dym's to practise multi-tabling.
    do you plan on moving up to the £1 at any stage?

    £1  W 2  +£1.70
         L  2  -£2.30
               ---------
               -£0.60

    £2  W 3  +£5.25

                ---------
                +£3.00

    WON  £2.40  B/R  £35.70

    short session, could have won all 4 x £2 tonight. the one I lost I went allin with QQ on the bubble, got called by A9, ace hit  :(
    annoying as that was £4 I could do with right now.
    never mind, moving forward which is always the aim for each session.

    Once I get myself upto around £20 which is around 20 buy-ins, be a while yet, but not too long if I keep up the form that I've displayed tonight. Im currently 3/3 and my win-streak is four, inc my last DYM of the night on friday & no play saturday.

    day 3
    Monday  16/6/14

    £1  W 1  +£0.85
          L  2  -£2.30
                ---------
                -£1.45

    £2  W  4  +£7.00
          L  2   -£4.50
                 ---------
                 +£2.50

    WON  £1.05    B/R  £36.75

     played 2 x £2  & 1 x £1   at a time, then re-loaded the same again.
    so 3 x 3 table mini sessions if you like.
    reasons; to try it out
                 play 3 games and then re-assess
                 stop when i want
                 watch all the players actions more closely

    verdict; good. lost the first 2 sessions 2-1,  won the 3rd session 3-0  which saved the day.
               going to be usefull if i ever move up to the £5 or higher levels?

    going to continue this for the next few sessions and see how it goes.
    happy with my game, just need the good run factor to kick in, and all will be fine again.  :)

    laters,
    dev

    Good luck with this dev will be reading with interest, i'm sure as soon as you get a bit more of a roll behind you the profit will start rolling in regularly.

    Are you coming across the same players a lot?
    If so, are you taking notes?

    Hi Mick,
    yes, there are a few regs obviously, but not many that i remember from last time, so i am making the odd note here & there, but it's tricky when playing 9 tables or so, as i have been.
    today i only played 3 tables at a time, so i was making more notes on each table, only simple stuff like who was limping, and who would check then fold to my flop bet, who was slow playing(i make them go pink in colour), etc.
    nothing very exciting i'm afraid, but it does all help for sure, i think.
    i think at the £3 and under levels you can play them two ways;
    1,  multi-table as many tables as you can cope with, which will eliminate variance, certainly over each month anyway.
    or 2,  play 2or 3 tables and make much more detailed notes on every player you come across, which should give you enough edge to grind out a profit.

    Cheers for the reply Ian,
    Option 2 is my preference as my laptop struggles with multitabling.
    When i moved over to PLO8 DYM's i spent more time taking notes than actually playing for the first couple of weeks, but has paid off on many occasion.

    Run good bud
