In Response to Re: What should I do now? : Only the better ones. The problem with the ultra cautious approach of some is that they appear to want to play with their cards effectively face up. That will make money up to (poss0 £5.50 DYMs. Then people get left with a really exploitable style at higher levels.... Posted by Essexphil
Mr Phil of Essex the question is set in the context of a soft 2.25 dym and I think we need to have that top of our minds when proposing action or dismissing action.
I am now uber tight v loose recs at low BI dyms levels 1 to 3 especially out of position.
I advocated a fold. I dont mind a call it may be technically better even given the still low risk and potential. I am probably swayed by my own experience where I thought I could adjust easily from 6 max to dym and found it took a lot longer and alot more changes than expected.
The shove will not get through anywhere near as often as you think it would. If we expect calls from 77+ (I wouldnt be surprised by 22) then we should factor that in before shoving not curse our oppenets predictable mistake after the event.
In a normal structured DYM its a fold for me based on the fact that its such a soft field. Far to much time to take advantage of the other players and the longer you play them the more your gonna read their betting patterns and ranges and identify a better spot.
Tommy D did say if someone calls you with 77 its their mistake, but in this game i,d expect a lot of mistakes and ceratainly don,t wanna be flipping in level 1. In a harder game i,d be calling tho
So i would fold, watch and take notes
Ps What happened?
Pps - If your re-learning NLH DYM why not post some hands in the poker clinic. There used to be a few hands in there but it seems very qiuet these days - could get it going again

This is the key question. is the aim to play at a £2.25 level, or higher? At this level it is probably a call (which is why I only referred to folding being (imo) bad earlier, whereas at higher levels i feel it is a shove. That said, I last played a DYM as low as £2.25 in about 2006. Anyway, poker is always open to lot of different styles
Still amazed anyone would say folding is the best line.
Phantom, I know we've discussed this away from here but I can't agree with you, nor indeed with anyone who says fold. I also don't believe for one minute that anyone actually folds this pre in game.

The Beatles, Jerry and The Pacemakers, The Las, Echo and The Bunnymen, The zutons and many more all have one thing in common......
With five callers Id shove with jj or better here and fold the rest. Like to hear from Mayhem or wardstar though as they are better at holdem dyms. Ger Posted by gerardirl
You already have heard from Mayhem and at no point does he say fold pre.
