If you can put £40 down, lose it all and then put another £40 down and try again then there's nothing wrong with diving straight into £5.50 games. From experience there isn't a noticeable skill gap between the lower levels and seems to be many names that play both £5.50 and £3.30 interchangably.
As I'm sure Dev will testify to though, a run of 7 losses (aka your whole roll) is not uncommon even if you're the best player on the site.
Flip side is that if you win 7 or more in a row at the start you could potentially weather a downswing and ultimately enable your roll to grow much quicker (than if you played £1.10 level).
But if you are busto when the £40 is gone then copy Dev and start slow
Hi Ian thanks for reply so quick I play all dym and thats my main games. i would like to start £5.50 then move on higher when finally got enough BR. I was thinking starting at £40 and aim to £500 because im only 18. what do you think? whats your honest opinion? Posted by concon12
starting at £40 is fine. but playing £5 is a high risk strategy, in other words you can't afford to lose.
i am playing the £1 games with the same b/r and it is almost fullproof.I will be trying the £2 at £60 then the £3's at around £80-£100.again prepared to move down a level if my b/r goes backwards.
you could risk the £3 games i guess, but again what happens if you have a £10-£20 losing session?
what do you do then?
ok you could well win and then you are up & away.
I'm not going to tell you what to do, that's down to you mate.
All the best in this Dev. I will be following you closely - I have just started playing DYMs myself so will be interested to how you do. Hope to come across you soon on the tables. Posted by CardiffAce
Thanks mate,
have you read Johnconnors DYM blog? if not you should as it really will help you.
you can find it in the 'sit & go strategy' section.
I have read his blog mate, stumbled across it by chance the other day. Very good read so im hoping between reading that, this forum & some sky strategy videos I should be OK. We will see though! haha
If you dont mind me asking, how did you start multi tabling? I tried it last night for the 1st time and it threw me a bit tbh. Didnt know whether I was coming or going for a bit. Is it just a case of starting slowly and getting used to it before building up?
Stupidly I was in the 8pm BH and a DYM so chopping back and for from super tight to normal tournie play was daft. Do you find grinding DYMs has an affect on your tournie play? May just be a coincidence but after playing a lot of DYMs, i have played 2 tournies and bombed out early due to c rappy play

Hi Gavin,
don't mind at all mate, happy to answer any questions I can.
start with 2 tables then add 1 at a time.
it does seem fast at first but you will soon get used to it.
i made lots & lots of mistakes along the way mate, so it is all part of the learning process i'm afraid.
i only multi-table all dym tables or all cash tables i don't mix the two.
i don't play tournaments only freerolls which i play along side my dym tables.
i would say keep on practising the 2 tables for a few days or more then add the 3rd when you are waiting for the action to happen, in other words when you are to quick for just the 2 tables.
multi-tabling is a must i would say for dym's so you do need to learn it.
i am playing around 6 atm but did play 12-18 at times, on my last dym challenge
My bankroll management has always been terrible but...
Rather than 6 tabling £1/£2 games I think you should play 2 or 3 tables £3's now. You've beaten them before and as we know the rake is less. With the low variance, whilst it could happen, I'd be surprised if you bust your present bankroll.
Or, as you have a mental block with the £5's just jump up to the £10's. 4 games 4 wins and you're flying
Did I mention that my bankroll management is poor btw?
There's a guy called Snuffer not much of a bluffer then there's Vinny six seven thinks he plays poker from heaven someone called Fa1lacy whatever that means thinks he's the best that's ever been they are all full of chat, giving it all that playing the one pounds to be fair they have fun & all can play 'Who's the daddy?' I can here them say My bankroll is going up so I'll be leaving you soon Ha Ha, I'm over the moon I'll miss the banter & friendly chat men maybe in challenge 3, I'll see you again!!!

Wow I'm touched to mentioned in a peom Dev. Only played you in one game yesterday too, must have left an impression! I was a bit concerned about your play in that one to be fair. You did nothing, then did nothing a lot more and then when you were down to about 900 you suddenly shoved with K4o and went out to 10 10??
Anyway good luck with your challenge, I'll be there supporting you all the way mate, as I play up to £11 DYM's. The £1.15's are just for the chat..
