wow is this playing just the DYM'S? i have been grinding at the 3.30 level for 2 months now and am just about braking even cant seem to take that leap to profit. i do run into alot of strange hands and i think im playing good DYM strategy but im just not making that extra step.
hi wenelinho, yes,i have played you several times on the £3.30 tables and from what i can remember you do seem to have a solid game. as you know poker can be a funny old game, you can have long periods where for whatever reasons you just can,t seem to make much at all, i know i have. as for myself,i only started playing dym,s mid nov 2011, with £210 in my account. so with some freeroll cashes and some c4points and dym winings,am nearly £200 up (£15 c4p coming tomorrow to add on)
it would be interesting to know how many tables u r playing?
i play 5 or 6 every session i play, i probably would play more but that,s usually the most tables available at £3.30 level also,once i go to 7 tables i get lagging which is no good!
so am quite happy atm with the 6.
the good thing i think playing dym,s is the fact that everyone does start 50/50 so even if as you say u r level after playing 4 a couple of months, it,s not that bad,is it? think u prob need to increase the number of games u play obviously the more tables will help and see if that helps, possibly need to tighten your starting hands also, and look for spots to play,and play even more aggressively. all little things really, but when u put them all together,it will make a diference,hopefully?
thanks devonfish good advice. I think my game has tightened up probably since reading that john conner article , problem being all the DYM players on the site have read the same article and are now playing the same way haha.
Im playing 3 at a time think i could do more but im only on a laptop and it would annoy me started on just the one at a time and i have noticed less variance since playing more games although i do run into over pairs constantly qq vs aa, kk vs aa or AQ on the dealer and bb picks up A K seems to happen more than i think it should this is not a dig at the site just what seems to happen same on all sites.
if you see me at the tables and your not playing to many games say hi also if you notice any poor play on my part i wouldnt mind a messege being sent my way maybe i can follow you up the ladder on the br side of things god knows its about time i put real effort into my game.
yes,3 tables is ok,but the more the better really, can u not play more on your laptop?, or is it not possible?
also depends on how serious you take it, if u r out to make some money, think u need 2 look at it from all angles.
like myself,there are still changes i can make and will in time, i,d like to move up 2 poss 10 or 12 tables but can,t on my computer, so that is an area that i will look into at some point.
as you have said about running into over pairs, it does happen on line frequently,
i had kk in my 1st game the other nite, called an all in as i think u should sure enough up against aa so 1-0 down. still ended up winning session 12-3 so not too unhappy....lol
can,t always talk when playing as multi-ing 5/6 tables on mini-view, but obviously if i get the chance i will.
quite agree about most dym,ers have read jc,s brilliant dym post, but reading it and playing to it , is not as simple as you might think!
Hi, just a suggestion for multi-tabling beginners that I find helpful is to scatter the tables I am playing. By this I mean I will begin another DYM SNG when the preceding one reaches 50/100 blinds. I find I can adapt my strategy to each running game without losing control, keep my eye on opponents so I don't miss anything worth making a decent note on and generally make a decent profit. Usually I wil have three running at a time.
I play £5.50 DYMs. Tonight I played 6 won 5 lost 1 and yesterday I played 15 won 12 lost 3 so scattering tables at different levels works well for me. In the past I have loaded up a few games at the same levels and have found this has tilted me.
My aim is to reduce the level between loading games to get more tables loaded.
@devonfish - are you planning on moving up to 5.50?
GOOD READ, what i find is as i like u am just playing the one level the games are quite staggered as you know, as 1 or 2 games finish,so new ones begin so i am usually playing different levels on different tables. also,as 1 game finnishes i move tables to the left hand side of the screen which i find helps as all the important games,ie;near the end, are all together. yes,i do hope to move up to £5.50 at some point,but am not in any hurry as winning at £3.30
got 2 go, work
gl yourself
keep in touch
devon
ps,doesn,t look like u need much luck though, as your results tell me,
just thought i would post a few stats up; been playing dym,s for 59 days played 27 sessions (so almost 1 every other day) sessions won(cash profit) 19 sessions lost " " 7 win rate 73% loss rate 27% starting b/roll £210.93 present b/roll £420.57 (includes c4p and freeroll cashes) total winnings since start of dym play; £209.64 which is a daily profit of £3.55 (whooooopie,) BIG DEAL.......not....lol "that,s all folks" devon Posted by devonfish5
thats impressive but makes you wonder if you would be better just playing 1 £5 DYM a day if you can win them all you would be up more tough task but you see my point.
Just shows how much of a hard graft these DYMs are.
anyway not been on for a couple of days came back yesterday and just got stupid and dented my BR ive been so sensible then one stupid day messes it all up, im very disappointed in myself!!!
thinking about spreading my wings into low limit cash nlh 4 and omaha think i could do 2 omaha tables at a time and 4-5 nlh cash at a time im bored of being a break even player i want to make money.
hi wenelinho, yes i do see your point, but it just doesn,t work like that m8. there is only one way to make a steady ,risk free profit, and i am going to tell you how; hard grinding. you can mess about all you like looking 4 an easy way to make real money, my brother tries,all the time, he does get some good wins granted, golf bets,and the odd poker b/hunter or tournament, but it,s not profitable long term. guess u could get lucky though, look at those lottery winners,...
find something that u enjoy within poker, either cash,dym,s b/hunters, tournies whatever floats your boat, stick with it,and run well,oh,don,t forget the most important thing of all; bankroll management, because without that you,ve got no chance!

im all up for the grind devon my problem is i really like playing more than one form of the game i like mtt, stt and im coming round to cash poker very quickly. REALLY liking plo cash at the moment.
as for the BR management im normally very good, thats why i was so disappointed in myself for just having a fishy day and playing above my roll grrrrrrr got to grind it all back now.
any way keep posting really enjoy seeing your progress.
@Devonfish - I was on your table for 1 game, first time you shoved all game and you get called by someone with pocket 10's, ul. If that was anything to go by then you probably didn't do anything wrong, it's just variance doing what it does best.
Look on the bright side, though. When you have a bad day, you only lose £5. Start with 2 wins tomorrow and yesterday never happened. I wish I only lost £5 when I have bad days, lol.
yes,was a tough nite, and as you say,it,s only £5.
starting today gently 10am freeroll.
keep posting Evil, always interested in how everyone does and what they have to say. good luck youfself.... hope you find plenty of fish out there! (fish....penquins...lol)
what can i say, suddenly hit the brick wall....ouch!
played 50 won 20 lost 30
lost £41.70
still,guess it was always just around the corner waiting for me.
b/roll £373.47
not a problem though, i didn,t feel as though i played badly, ok, probably made a few errors along the way, but who doesn,t ?
it has only put me back to where i was a week ago, so it,s only a minor set-back, not the end of the world... a good cry & i,ll feel better in the morning....hopefully....lol
as i said,if i had played really bad poker, i would be annoyed with myself, as i do set myself quite high standards in everything that i do. just some really lousy run of the cards,again. that,s 2 sessions in a row.
i know ,i am rabbiting on a bit, sorry, i know it is going to be dificult getting to sleep, so guess i,m not in any hurry to get to bed....lol
think i,ll go and make a cup of tea and dunk in some chocolate biscuits..... see if that helps?
anyway,hope you all enjoyed better luck than me tonight,
nite all
devon....
ps. just goes to show how important it is to play within your bankroll, lost about 10% of mine tonight.
How many tables are you playing at one time at the moment? Think you had 6 or 7 tables up when I looked on "Find a Player". I ask because you were timing out quite a bit when I was on your table. There was one hand @ 50/100, where UTG min raised, you were in the big blind and clicked it back to him, then he shoved and you timed out, so you basically gave away 300 chips and if you were trying to trap him, a likely double-up too. There were also a couple of spots where the correct play would probably be to shove any two cards as it was folded to you unopened and you were relatively short stacked, and you timed out, missing the opportunity to pick up the blinds.
Just thinking whether this may be in any way related to the downswing you're having at the moment?
