just bubbled 5 dyms out of 5. Playing low stake. The issue i had was in 3 of them blinds got to 400/800 and the rest where standard.
So my question is, with the blinds so high in a dym what should our strategy be.

It completely depends on stack sizes. If you're a real shorty compared to everyone else, you may have to get a bit fruity, but I'd still stick to strong hands.
On the other hand, you might be the shorty but on a table full of maniacs that don't understand they don't need to win and will knock each other out.
If you've got a nice stack, stay out of it, don't bother calling shorty shoves with stuff like AT (no matter how much you think you're ahead) if it's gonna batter your stack or even put you back in the mix with everyone else and put him back in the game.
I play mainly low stakes DYM's and i must say its unusual to see the blinds get that high.
Its usually over with before then.
One thing i have learnt is to hold my nerve, i have been as low as half a blind and still managed to cash.
Some spots in the later levels you just have to shove with any 2 and take your chances.
I'm pretty tight in the early levels and just watch what others are doing.
Don't really get involved until levels 3 or 4 (unless ii have a monster obv!)
I try to get my stack to 3-4k by level 5 and thats usually good unless it gets to level 9 or 10 then its a bit of a shove fest !.
