Poker is a cruel game Short stacked and loving QQ pre and when the cards flipped over looooooooooooooooool------- /> />>>> exit hand from tonights Mini Open I could done things with taht stack :S
I play MTT/STT/CASH/DYM using one BR, while recording my progress for each format
Here is my DYM trial from the 1st Dec
I don't love DYM's as they seem to be a massive grind for little return, apart from the C4P I played them in the past break even just for c4p But I am going to give them some effort this month, if I can stop making MTT/STT moves in these then I should be fine
Following the 20 buy in rule Need to hit £50 before I step up to £2.20 DYM's
Played one hand on NL20 for the GROTTO promotion and flopped 2nd nut str Never got any action though Then next hand picked up AA, no action - then stood
Lost 2 bi's - not great

Played a little NL4/10, up two buy ins at NL4 then lost them at NL10 - str v FH & TPTK v Set !!!
Played some DYM, standing win percentage of 70% - going ok
Finished 3rd in a £2 BH MTT,I was 3rd on FT then my internet went, back to table 20 minutes later and there's only 3 left and I have 5 bb, SIGH!!! But my first hand was AA but no action lol
I have tweaked some of my MTT game in all stages and it appears to be working.
But it could also be just some run good )
I have also been reading up on expected value just to look at hands after and access
Hopefully it will correct some leaks/bad plays in my game, or just improve my current game as you can always get better

What is your definition of bad, you have a very good cash percentage, what's the problem?
In Response to Re: Rancid and his Roll (Diary of a losing recreational player) : What is your definition of bad, you have a very good cash percentage, what's the problem? Posted by Dudeskin8
£2 is equally as bad, so I switched over tbh )
If my next session goes bad, I'll drop back down !!
Overall I feel I can beat up to £5.50, but I am not willing to place anymore of my BR into DYM's
I'm still confused by this 'DYM GRRRRR' line, you have a 60.9% cash rate at £2.25 (all be it over a tiny sample size) and a massive 68% at £1.15 (still tiny size). Over my 184 games at £2.25 I managed 59.2% which whilst not great I felt was pretty decent, I would have killed for that extra 2% lol, so you haven't got anything to moan about mate, try playing them and be losing money that's where it gets fun.

Not updated for a couple of days, registered for the DTD this evening so should be fun !
Been playing SAT/MTT, not much joy – bubbled in one MTT AKvAJ – J on river – SIGH !
Kept myself afloat with some NL8 cash mainly
Not played anymore DYM, can’t be asked !
So many games for such little reward and I am sure I can win more money playing cash !! I guess I just want to see if I can do something with DYM’s
Maybe I’ll move up to £5.50 and see if it’s worth it !!

Get it in good AK v A6 for example, and watch the six hit turn !
AQ v A4, wheel for oppo ! blah blah blah
Cash was ok I am playing NL8 in the main
I played a little REBUY ! MTT and cashed for a small amount
DYM GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Cash GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I am getting it in as 60/40 fav at least – like the majority - I should be sitting at 80% )
I am never happy _)
8-2 first session
2-5 next session
so annoying
I am loving the call's I am getting AIPR tbh - AK v A4 for example
I am going to keep at it cause this is so easily beatable
