Had a feeling it was going too well and knew it had to change pretty soon else the universe start collapsing in on itself, anyway 7 games going 5-2 against rather halts my progress.
1st was quite funny shove A5 w/5bbs wen short stack get called by big stack but amazingly mid stack auto calls pre aswell half of his stack wen no need, still he folded to shove on flop and I lost to KK. 2nd yet another OP AA this time v unpaired undercards this time 46s so sick. 3rd a 6bb shove at 100/200 w/J2 gets awful call from K10o safe stack. 4th a crazy game where I was safe 2nd at one stage but got ground down ending in 93 v AK could have ben worse when he called. Final 5bb shove at 150/300 w/J7 big stack makes pretty dour A7 call, at least give me live cards, sigh.....
Still very much alive but also noticing a slight difference now rake has changed, for example winning 2 and losing 1 at £2.25 yields 55.6% of a BI, whereas doing the same at £3.30 yields 63.6% of a BI, not massive but long term it would make a big difference. Just need a splash of run good now and I can make use of it.
Thanks for the good luck message 67, clearly it was a VERY good one as had a 5 game session winning all 5 .
Amazing how quickly these things change from sesh to sesh, at the start of this one I was contimplating the horror of returning to the £2.25 ones but now I've reached my highest point yet, long may it continue !

Congrats, been following this thread with interest. You're doing really well considering how low your br was when you started. Long may it continue, but not at my table lol
What goes up must clearly come down, 6 played 5-1 against me .
1st one on clinic not sure, might have murdered it. 2nd a nice one, AA at 75/150 2000 stack just when you want 'em, raise to 350 get shove on, 99 gets 4 flush . 3rd where i realise I'm in for a tough sesh, in BB at 200/400 w/1340 and JJ, get shoved on K7 hits K, made worse by fact I was down to 140 at one point and got 3 double ups. 4th a crazy game that got to 400/800, one of those where you see the shorty doubles up about 23 million times but when you need the luck you don't get it 89 v K2. Final 10bb shove at 75/150 pretty big at that stage so only big hand can call yep KJ and safe stack 2k chips and hit J, golly.
Not too worried about that sesh as if I keep getting it in ahead I'll be good longterm, just need a another 5 in a row tonight lol.
More lovely variance but in a 9 game session I was just about able to neutralise it with 5-4 to me, break even feels good right now trust me.
1st one identical to an earlier beat, A10 again 75/150 again 10bb again called by KJ and again lose sigh. Next a sickener QQ raise limper pre, J high board bet big called shove K turn he calls turns over A5 hearts for FD and pair on flop hits flush, really need those to go for me. Next 6bb at 300/600 shove 83 in SB, BB needs a monster to call as he's safe on same as me if he folds but he calls w/A9. Final a goody 5 bbs at 150/300 with 1 micro stack in BB and similar stack to me in SB I shove KQ SB finds AQ BB has J2 I bust.
Again just one of these going my way adds a massive £6 so 6-3 tonight for example would be a great sesh but that's the margins every time.
Going good Dude. It really can be a swingy beast can't it... I think that was the thing I couldnt deal with, it was fine when the swings were up, but when they were down just due to variance, it did occasionally make me start playing differently which made the downs bigger...
I know you got great discipline though so keep it up!
to start love this thread, I am in the same situation played cash love it but find it a grind love mtt's but like already said massive swings, wins followed buy month two month missing the good cash payouts.
my point is i started playing these DYM'S at the 5.50 level just for the game i was always against them before.
ANYWAAAAY i turned a 100 quid into £150 single tabling over the course of a week and since saturday i have lost 7 in a row.......... SEVEN. Abit of a knock to say the least took me a real hard graft to make the £50 and its taken couple of flips and couple bad beats and all of a sudden waste of a week, so now im back where i started wondering if these things are even worth playing.
I really have to agree with something LOL_RAISE said about these on the clinic in terms of high variance it's so true, you can be going along swimmingly (5 wins a row for example on Tuesday, starting to think that was a dream lol) then boom it all goes Pete Tong. One of the main things I've found is how you start is paramount, if the first two are wins you instantly know the next 4 can end 2-2 (which mentally seems an easy goal to achieve) and you're ahead but losing the first two puts you straight on the back-foot NEEDING to win the next two.
Overall though the challenge has defintely changed somewhat from merely not going broke to now hoping to finish as high as possible, anything around £80-£90 would be pretty decent plus the £15 C4P I'm going for it should get me to 3 figures.
The thing is ya only need 3 or so BAD sessions (and thats reasonable with varience) and ure back where ya started. IMHO ure only ever gonna beat these if ure willin to dedicate more funds and 4 table minimum , which should even out the varience nicely. Gl anyway Posted by debdobs_67
Don't worry I'm well aware of this but I'm following JC's BRM strictly so once I return to £66.00 (20 BI's at £3.30) I'll go back to to the £2.25's and grind back up to £72.60 (22 BI's at £3.30) where I'll have my two shots again and see if I can break through, I'm still live in this go tbf and at the risk of boring people half to death just 2 of these going my way and I'm on £86.65 (£74.65 + £12) and eveything's rosy in the garden.
The thing that appeals to me about this is it's only £50 and I know at the start that's how much I can lose, plowing big sums in to play more volume wouldn't really feel great especially if it went wrong.
On the multitabling this is probably is the best approach but being so close to the tipping point I need to keep a handle on any developments which can get a bit crazy playing 4-6 but obvz if I get the BR that will be a step I take if only for the added C4P it would yield.
I have to agree multi tabling is the only way for these. i spoke to a player who is up near the top on the S n G leader board he plays 10 at a time and up too 200 a day i couldnt believe it he didnt go into detail with his roi but he must be doing ok to keep playing. £1000 a day just in playing money would love to know what he gets back.
Oh and 1 more player and i break my seven game loosing streak come on please
8 IN A ROW A Q anainst Q 9 flopped a straight its really getting me down. cant believe he called an all in with q 9 grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Wow, I admit the decisions are very straight forward most the time but even my limit would probably be 6 lol

i think that is the key the simple nature of the games not so simple that i dont loose 8 in a row though out of the 8 i think 5 i have had the best hand pre flop GRRRRRRRRRRR?!!!?

Dudeskin,
DYM are sick !
Great first session playing £2’s, next seesion – complete toilet !
All because of variance - AKvA6 / AQvA4 etc….
The only satisfaction is, when your getting it in good – like the majority of the time !!
So annoying this game of poker is !!
