In Response to Re: openly bluffing early in DYM? : What is the value in creating a pot out of position with junk at level one of a DYM? I understand what you are saying but I dont think there is any value in "creating an image" in a dym. Save this for deepstack mtts and cash. In a dym you only have a limited amount of chips and time. every chip is precious. Later on when the blinds are like 100 or 150, when you have seen how passive everyone is, you can make this play pre with any2 to take down the dead money. (as long as the stacks allow for this, i.e your raise doesnt commit either of u) I like the way you have bet the hand though, and i would bet a similar way with all my premium pairs so you have represented a big hand well. But you dont know at this early stage if your opponant understands this! DYM's are a simple game, there is no need to complicate them imo! and yes, there is a lot of shoving in the latter stages. But, i consider what you have done in this hand (raising oop with junk against a random opponant and continuing to fire what are essentially bluffs) to be more of a gamble than the shoving part of a dym. because by preserving my chips for the latter stages i have more "power" to put pressure on the other stacks, and more chance to double my money! if Sky did dym's with much longer blinds then i can see more of an argument for messing about early. I prob wouldnt though, i would rock up as per norm:) Posted by GREGHOGG
ok i understand your argument as you have made a very strong one. You have clearly got a system that works for you, i think this is a system a lot of DYM players use which is why i think its getting harder. I have put my approach across as i believe in any form of poker reads and image play a major part from start to finish. My style may very well be from a boxing past 'start well, end well and the middle is forgoten'

the problem is if you start the way you did in that hand you stand a good chance of getting KOd in the first round, know what i mean arry,,
