Right after dithering around like a chicken in heels I am finally gonna make the move from dym's to 100% cash tomorrow!!!! (bite nails!)
Back to 2/4p, learn how to play nice and calm (omg..i actually laughed when I typed that!) and fingers crossed my aim is to break even for 1st month minimum and hopefully be up £5 a day once im settled :o)
I'm gonna put in some proper hours instead of messing around between cash and dyms so I can really learn the game :o)
ps, thanks Dohhhhhhh and Blackfish3 (and hubby, hehe) for the advice x

    Wrong time to change imo your great at dym's and Lisa is running a comp whoi wins the most in a row during july gets a free seat at the spt final in Notingham, I think youd have a good chance of donig this and should think about cash next month, but good luck and hope you do well

    lol thanks Gareth but to be honest even if i were lucky enought to win a ticket I would be a bag of nerves playing live as i can't lie...no honest I can't!!!!! I would laugh...grin...fidget if I had a hand and everyone would demolish me in 30 mins! hahahahaha

    Well the cash thing is totally different and i'm trying to learn the basics really, yesterday I was all "ooooh I'm gonna win a big pot!" and managed to get the guy all in then realised he had a royal flush!!! Had to laugh though and nice for the lad cos it's so hard to get paid when you hit those massive hands..lucky I was there to help! lol

    Today I thought..right time to knuckle down..notice where i'm loosing money etc...so I'm playing dead carefully and then I hit my hand, so now it's time to learn pot control and how to get value without scaring the guy off. I finally manage to get the money in with my hand and feeling dead pleased with my wonderfully controlled play to realise at the end I was behind even before the flop!!!! hahahahaha

    Oh well you have to loose to learn where your going wrong don't you! :o)
    Thanks for the well wishes and let me know when you win that ticket!!

    You notice where you are losing.
    You have to lose to learn.
    The t-shirt I am wearing is quite loose.

    Hope this makes sense.

    Roll permitting do not waste too much time at 2p/4p and 4p/8p as the range of hands that are played are MASSIVE and that includes to virtually ANY kind of pre-flop raise.But the best of luck to you anyway.dav

    In theory you should have a minimum of 10 pull-ups.But it does depend on what type of player you are.I myself do not really follow strict b/r management and 5 pull ups is enough for me and when i play cash (as i luv mtts) i do as a rule make money.dav

    if i have a spare 30 quid ill put it on poker, i dont have a big bank roll, but i seem to play better at 5/10 then 2/4 because of all the limpers even though you put the appropriate raises in. I was up to 100 quid, but that soon went ;(
