Hi guys
I have finally decided its time to try and make a steady profit from the game rather than trying to bink a big win.
Im a decent player , not great , but also not poor ( though some who have played against me will disagree im sure ) but i think you will struggle to find many with a worse discipline of BRM. Im the kind of player who has £100 in account so decides to play a £55 DYM while multi tabling that with NL50 , usually with terrible results of course!!!!
Because of this attitude im a losing player, and have no shame in admitting it, but 7 years since starting to play, i should be far better, at least with BRM.
Being this honest in an open forum is the best way i can see myself developing , so please jump on to offer support , advise , luck etc.
I will be starting with a BR of £53.50 , and will strictly play only DYM's no higher than £3.30 , cash at 2p 4p with only 1 buy in , if i lose this £4 i walk away , and as my biggest loss has been MTT i will not be playing any of these , including satelites.
I will post progress of everything i do along the way , providing there is an interest from the forum , no point posting if no one is reading lol
Hoping for a good level of support , and good luck to you all at the tables

I word of advice, stick to one discipline until you've boosted that roll a bit. You mentioned DYMs and Cash, it's only my opinion but I would stick to one or the other to start with (actually I would stick to DYMs as I don't think that roll is big enough for NL4. For DYMs I'm fine with a 12 buy in BR up until the £10 games understanding that it might get a little swingy but if you have a decent to solid DYM game you have a good chance to avoid problems).
There's a lot of value for the smaller BR player in the low level DYMs IMO.
Once again, very best of luck.
In Response to Sorry, this is another BRM topic!!!!:
Don't set a time scale target, but do set rewards. Grind the £2 and £3 ones until you reach say £80. Then you play one £5 as a reward and self proof you are advancing. Set yourself realistic move up targets but be prepared to move down. Lastly set yourself a 'I can finally play cash' target. I would suggest that to be £200, then enjoy a bit of NL4 but stop if you lose £40 or so.
The most important thing is to have fun and find fun in your success while only reacting to the downswings with a determination to work at your game and get better.
It will take time but it's meant to, it's the best way to improve your game.
As i said i lost £4 cash before reading your post and agreeing to leave alone for now , not a great night but its a long grind.
Starting Bankroll £53.50
End of session results as follows
£4 cash buy in - Lost £4
7 X £3.30 DYM - Won 2 Lost 5
End bankroll £ 38.40
Session total - £15.10 ( oops )
Back again over weekend
I have also recently started playing DYM's and I did so with £50 playing the £2.25 ones giving me 22 buy ins at the level, which for me feels comfortable in that I know I need really ugly run bad to go broke. You mention playing the £3.30 ones, the quality of player in these is probably the same as £2.25 but having a bad run could almost kill you off whereas at £2.25 you're still very much alive.
Also agree on leaving NL4 for a bit although wouldn't agree with waiting till you have £200, £100 is fine for starting NL4 maybe less.
There are a couple of blogs around that you could read.
DYMs - John Connor's
nl4 - Dohhhhhh's
Not sure where they are on the site but they are there!
see you on the tables
Have already realised that ABC solid poker is pretty much the only way for success , as its very hard to make some players fold at lower stake levels ( made a move on the turn on a Q J 9 3 rainbow board with A 10 and he snap called for whole stack with 5 3 , i missed and exited wondering how he makes that call)!!
Anyway, will keep you posted mate
