A little close for comfort but the right man won, ha ha ...well for me anyway.
I'm sure Ding will have his day, just wasn't yesterday, thank goodness.
So that's 4 down 1 to go, just a certain Mr. Higgins to complete the job
Gl all.
$56.40 30/4/17
Selby 2 Higgins 6 not the start I wanted but at least there is time to recover, I hope. Look's like the Ding match has taken it's toll today, let's hope tonight's session we can mount some kind of recovery, if not this match could have an early finish tomorrow.
$57.62 30/4/17
$54.04 1/5/17 first losing session for about a week so no complaints, lost all ins all over the place with trip 3's v trip 8's being the final straw, no worries though It's only a temporary set back each time we lose.
Selby 13 Higgins 11 all set up nicely for tonight, thought it was all over at 4-10 down yesterday, what a difference a day makes...
Why don't you come back and play DYMS with us Dev? Posted by spinky6108
Been there done that mate
Seriously, they are such hard work in comparison to what I am playing now, 1 table cash.
I am hoping to move up levels soon, probably wait until I reach $100 which is still only 20 buy ins & even that is pushing it.
Should start making a good profit then....hopefully lol, but as I am in no hurry, it really is 1 small step at a time for me.
Who would have thought though I would be where I am now playing cash...in profit, ha ha.
OK, it's not here, which is a shame, but i've explained my reasons for that, but winning is winning I guess wherever you play
It's also a new challenge and you know how I like them, & it will be interesting to see how I get on at the next level & should I succeed there just how far can I go, lol
Anyway, hope you are still making a good profit, I 'm sure you are,
Day off yesterday. Just had 10 minutues @ 2/5 as I now want to test myself there more & more as my b/r is looking quite healthy right now, mustn't overdo it though
Dropped from $79 to $69 so slowly moving forwards again. I knew the winning sessions couldn't last forever but been enjoying the ride so no complaints when it goes the other way for a while.
Still playing mainly 1c/2c so continuing with good b/r management for the most part
Deffo moving up levels when I hit the 22 buyin point, which is $110 so still a long way to go, lol
$74.37 18/5/17 Just started watching some poker learning videos on u-tube which has been great, so much learnt in just 1 day, lol Even made a few 'moves' yesterday which felt good, ha ha, so improving slowly which will all help for the next level especially:) Posted by devonfish5
If you are watching more...
Doug Polk has some good videos, one in particular may be of interest as he tries to turn $100 into $10k in a bankroll challenge. He starts off playing a lot of the games you are playing currently.

Thanks mate, now that knocks my old DYM £40 to £1.040 challenge out the water, ha ha.
I'm guessing he is a half decent player by what I've seen? I'm sure he will do it as he is past the hard part,(early doors where it can all go wrong). So I will keep an eye on it.
I could do something similar myself in the future but right now it's all about improving my game which is still very basic, but we are getting there day by day, I think
Slow progress but still winning, that's the main thing.
Moved house a week ago so was without internet for nearly a week, boo.
Still only playing the 1 table on my tablet, as I have been off my computer for ages due to my ongoing tennis elbow injury, which I hope will clear up soon.

Know it well, been to World of Country Life a few times as a kid and then a few more as a parent. Stopped off for a beer in the big pub on the corner, many a time, during the round trip from Exmouth to Sandy Bay, along the beach and then back along the road.

Nice 1. I lived in Littleham growing up as a kid, and it's pretty much stayed unchanged for the past 50 years,
I now live about 50 yards away from that pub,(The Clinton), and can see it from my lounge window, lol
The only thing that's changed from when I used to pass it going to Sandy Bay 40+ years ago, as far as I can see is the price of the beer, it was around 30p a pint back in the day, lol
Watched some more poker vids last night & put it to good use today, ha ha
Seriously it's a slow grind playing just the 1 table right now, but it's all about getting the b/r up to $110 giving me the 2 buy-ins I want to get to the next level...2/5 then it gets a bit more serious, lol

$93.27 2/7/17 Been running bad last 2 days but patience pays at this level, & still showing a small profit, so happy with that Got AA aipf v JJ & 99 and held, which was nice why they do it I'll never know. Happy days, run good. Posted by devonfish5
Glad to see your post Dev - I followed your DYM challenge a few years back and saw you at the 3.30 DYMS a fair bit.
Have started playing cash recently myself as well however my bankroll moved south pretty fast (lost $50 in a few days) If you have any advice for getting started with playing cash would be greatly appreciated.

Hi mate, I remember you well & thanks for posting. Sorry to hear about your $50 loss mate, never nice losing money is it.
For me I went back to basics, playing just 1 table @ 1c/2c and playing abc poker. Yes I experimented a lot with bet sizes, how much to raise/bet pre flop, etc and still am, lol but if you get in to the routine of playing tight and basically betting hands yourself when you think you are winning and also very importantly FOLDING when you are behind, ie, when your opponent suddenly goes from being very passive ie checking/calling to BETTING BIG, then this should do the trick, at least it did for me.
Good bank roll management is important too, even though it gets boring after a while, it keeps you in profit then when you feel comfortable move up to the next level, I am when b/r hits $110 giving me 22 buyi ins for 2c/5c. If I drop below $100 I then I will move back down & rebuild, repeat, etc, you really do have to have a plan & stick to it.
Hope this helps, feel free to ask any more questions
, good luck, from Dev.
Ps, I've recently started watching poker learning videos on u-tube & that has really helped my game A LOT, so I suggest you do the same, James 'Splitsuit Sweeney is good, also watch the How to crush the micro stakes ones too, gl.
Last thing, I have a white board in front of me at all times with key notes, which I change from time to time, they are things like:
No. 1 position
2, know when to FOLD
3, Don't go all in pre flop(I do very occasionally with AA KK & AK depending on players i am up against)
4 WHAT ARE YOU BEATING? (Probably the most important & the one I say to myself all the time. Ie, if I had AJ & flop came AXX I am only beating A 10)
And to finish, my most recent one, win or lose....make good decisions.
Also not forgetting bottom right corner my b/r which I update after each session, which is the best part lol as it nearly always goes up, ha ha
