Well and truly hit with the variance stick this evening, 9 game session ending 6-3 against me.
1st exit yet another terribad limp/call w/Q10 gets rewarded vs my A9 yes it's only slight edge but bad play succeeding grates a lot especially in these where you have to win those 60-40's. Next shove w/Q4 into medium stacks thta need hand onecalled w/A4 sigh. 3rd 58 shove player just lost big chunk in SB makes tllt call with 86 run worse lol. 4th K8 shove in SB 4bbs at 150/300 against safe player who needs mega hand to call he did so with AJ and held. 5th crazy game gets to 400/800 I hope for a hand UTG get 27o.... run into AA . Last one getting pretty tilty by now open shove AK at 75/150 1700 behind wen currently 3rd get called think oh great, they turn over A8 and get flush, that was rough.
Much better today, earlier sesh 5 games ending 4-1 to me, was gonna play more this eve but was stopped once with disconnection and it still felt laggy so called it a night just incase hate losing in that way, 3 games 2-1.
1st exit 6bbs at 100/200 4 handed AQ into 10's they hold. Final once again 6bbs 100/200 guy open limps btn limping a lot, short stack, I shove A2s he calls with JJ.
Proper grinding session of 13 games finishing with small loss after 7-6 to me.
Managed to cash in the game but had a truly awful 4 handed one when one player was away but I was obvz 2nd lowest and stupid **** big stack kept limping on my blind or raising it to a point where I was almost level with shorty, seriously would have hit the roof if I'd lost that.....
Early loss A6 v A10 from limper at 100/200 I miss. Next KK raise pre at 100/200 get flat low flop I bet snap all in he has TPTK 6's hits Ace on river. 3rd KJ shove w/7bbs at 200BB he slowroll calls w/22 sigh, I miss obvz. Next K5 shove w/5bbs at 300BB get loose call by AJ wen safe. 5th in clinic I lost obvz. Last one a goody AK 15bbs in SB open shove to avoid donkey flat and me chk fold flop he calls with AA lol.
Still lacking back to back BIG profit sesh's but I know it's coming.
I do wish ya luck mate but it seems such a long haul for £10 profit.Whats the average time per game ?? 30 mins or so?? i make that about 80+hours of gameplay?? so 13p per hour overall profit?? seems harsh

LOL I was just about to post something similar. Dude, think how much you would be up at nl4 or 8 in this time.
Why not play both simultaneously m8. That stops the boredom creeping in.

That's the thing I don't find them boring, I actually enjoy the way you have to beat them like a puzzle and that buzz of getting to the cash is great (yes uber sad I know lol).
Not sure if I've posted it in this thread but I did somewhere stating that I know full well I'd make more at cash, I'm not silly. For me though cash had become stale and I just couldn't stomache the thought of playing any sort of decent session. My cash BR still exists (£443.33) so easily comfortable at NL10/8/4 and even shot taking level for NL20 lol but I just can't be bothered with it right now.
Like I said at start of thread I'll be doing this for month and if I go broke it's just £50 but if I can get a decent run then I could possibly move up but it's not then end of the world if I don't, like I said just a wee break.
Also fwiw I have been eager to give those Turbo HU's SNG's a go after finding them fun in Head Up Tourney but it'll be in January as want to put full effort into the DYM's for now.
----------------------
EDIT : Just got a quick-fire 2 games in both won. 15 for the day, MTT time now.
Well I do 2 at a time atm due to BR, 28 BI's right now, that's probably just about enough to play 3 but I doubt it would make a massive difference if I'm on honest.
"Are they not driving you utterly insane? Especially as it seems you have made 15 quid over 170 games of mind crushingly boring dyms"
LOL like I said previously I don't find them boring, obviously for someone who multitables mid-high stakes cash (presumption) that would be the general view and rightly so but that's just not how I feel.

Never really get why we need a bigger bankroll to play more tables. Just think its so shove/fold it would be easy to multitable
Wasnt trying to belittle the stakes, to me though dym's are just like work and I would have no interest in playing them unless I was making a lot of money. I dont think thats possible without playing huge volume. Even normal sngs (which I used play a lot, and are prob my most profitable game), shortstacked situations in mtts are often just pretty simple shove/fold situations. They are just not as interesting as deeper stack games , and dyms are worse again than normal sngs
Well almost had the break through session, 7 games 5-2 to me.
1st exit A2 shove in game where it somehow got to 300/600 called by AQ from equal short stack, gg. 2nd though a real killer in the game that could have took me to exactly £72.60...., short stack 1600 at 200/400 I shove 103o into big stack he snaps with K7, could've done without that but what canny do.
Still very close now, again just need the donkeys to fold there rags when they're safe and I'll make it . BR - £68.60

Going in the right direction Dude, and i know what you mean about big stacks calling with rags when all they have to do is sit tight.
Well, well, well (yh I do use well to start these a lot lol) I've finally gone and done it, 7 games like earlier going again 5-2 to me .
1st exit was annoyingly at a stage where a win would have taken me to the goal amount in BB w/AK facing MR I shove w/4bbs obvz called by AJ and lose, that sucked big time. Next even more standard BvB again me shove w/K9 as shorty 6bbs at 150/300 called by AA, how do they find them lol.
Well that took me below £70 but went for 2 more in a last bid at glory knowing worse case I'm mid £60's and luckily thanks to a 99 v AJ flip going my way in final hand I did it, well chuffed !
Gonna give it a rest now and will try first £3.30's tomorrow, just gotta pray for some run good at the most important time.

I gotta hand it to ya matey , ure stamina is amazing as is ure patience , im pretty sure i would be asleep by now , best of luck with ure step up in buy-in level and hope ya have more gd sessions like ure last two , higher stakes = higher profit ) run gd my friend xxx
Really weird playing £3.30 for first time, last time I did it was followed by a proper tilt binge where I lost a fair bit and was the end of any serious DYM playing. Luckily this time turned out much better, just 5 games but 4-1 to me means I got the winning start I craved so badly at £2.25.
Only exit was a proper beat too QQ v 710, he flops 2pr and houses on river .
Got a quick-fire 2 games in before DTD starts plus in Monday Survivor and managed to run well in both for 2 cashes, so far so good at £3.30 but sample size is obvz awful lol.
The Total Played will refer to the level I'm playing right now but if I do happen to run badly then I'll go back to the £2.25 one, hopefully that never occurs. BR - £85.75

How many tables are you playing? Surely with way you play these they are sutiable for mass multitabling
Are they not driving you utterly insane? Especially as it seems you have made 15 quid over 170 games of mind crushingly boring dyms
