cheers rancid, yes,u know how up & down they can be,feel sure it,s only a matter of time until they hit me. still enjoying it while it lasts. be lucky :-) dev
hi rancid, thanks m8...that means alot. no i,ve not got it,i,m guessing that it,s not free,? so no i,ve never used it.do you? and if so....do u find it usefull.? would it/could it improve my dym game?especially if i was to move up levels.
as to my strategy, keep it simple i guess.it,s pretty much abc poker. "play tight & aggressive and timing,when to go & when to fold" that,s it.!!!
could be a new one couldn,t it..... TAT (tight aggressive & timing) lol
hi Jingles, cheers m8, going well atm,not sure if it,s possible to keep it going forever. enjoying the ride anyway :-) good luck buddy hope playing the extra tables pays off. i,ll be interested to see how you get on. i,m sure u will enjoy having the extra monitor,it will make playing more tables easier. i use my second monitor 4 the lobby,which really makes it alot easier if i need to go there to load tables or anything else i need to know or do. if i ever manage to get to 13 tables or more then i will treat myself to a 3rd monitor,another 27"to go with the 1 i,m now using. i,m comfortable playing 9/10 atm any more & i,m making basic errors but i,m sure i will be able to keep on adding 1 more every so often in time. you never know i might catch you up? lol best wishes, dev
i have been grinding the mirco stakes of dyms done pretty well, thinking of moving up to the 2 & 3 quid stakes. Is the standard alot different? i saw u said u play tight in early stages wud that be first two levels? thanks
hi wardy, the standard is pretty much the same,it is slightly harder @ £3 level than the £2 but not by alot.the thing u will notice though is if u have a bad session it will hurt you more than where u r now.but that,s fairly obvious i guess.nice when u win though. i,ve just moved up to the £5 level which is slightly harder again, but the rewards increase again by a bigger margin,so as long as i don,t have a really bad session,makes it worth the risk. on the first 2 levels it,s hardly worth playing almost any hand bar aa kk or ak,as there are just not enough chips in play to win.you could throw in the odd qq & jj i guess. levels 3 & 4 i would be starting to play pairs,trying to hit a set.but even then only if i could get in cheap enough as saving chips for later is still more important.as u r only hiting a set roughly 1 in 8 times.
once u start playing aq or aj you are starting to get into risky territory,so play these hands with caution. another thing i would reccomend is to multi-table as this will help with variance. play as many tables as you can feeling comfortable and keep on adding another when u feel ready. hope to see you on those tables soon, best of luck :-) dev

Hi dev
thanks for your reply on .played 5 £2.25 game won 2 lost 3 got to bubble in the 3 aswell dented my confidence shall we say. Did u start playing 30p dyms when u first played dyms? were u winning from the start or work in progress? sorry about questions dev just haven`t spoken to someone who has mastered the low stakes game before interesting. Also good luck with yr quest to £1000 on dyms. thanks
hi wardy, ask as many questions as u like buddy, if i am able to help,only be to glad to. looks like u were unlucky losing 3-2 @ £2.25,s y,day losing all 3 on the bubble. i did say it would hurt u more if u lost didn,t i . yes,i did 1st start playing 30p dym,s,won more than i lost... didn,t play many though as i moved up to 60p same day or nxt day,can,t remember now 4 sure. anyway soon got to the £1 level again winning there, then £2. took me some time getting to £3 i can remember as i only wanted to move up once i had 100 buy-ins 4 that level,£300. i am only playing the £5 level atm because of this challenge. i don,t know your b/roll,but if u r moving up to £2 and thinking about playing £3 too, i would say u need a minimum of 20/30 buy-ins ie;£60-£90. anyway, good luck m8, i,m sure u can do it.!!! :-) dev ps, have you read john connors " the abc of dym,s" blog? if not,find it & read it,i,m sure it will help you.
hi Oop, cheers buddy, yes £200 after 22 days... can,t quite believe it myself really. you could be right about monster?which one as a matter of interest? maybe a machine...possibly? is it the T101 in terminator? i could be a DYM 109 or something. lol :-) dev
hi devon m8 really chuffed for you getting to the £200 mark you say you might have a go at the £11 ones ive had a go at a few of these and there much harder not so much the players as i found them a lot worse to be honest than the £5 ones for the reason which really amazed me is that players call with just about anything especialy rag As and ufortunately they have been hitting there a lot more agressive which i know you want but its still nasty. I managed to get a couple back maybe just having a bad run on them i dont know but they really do hurt your br if you only got £200 im prob going to wait till im about the £500 mark
heres my stats for the £11 ones and although i played well i just got unlucky so went back to £5 games and bump it up nicely. Not saying dont do it yet just think about it or try a couple and if it goes pete tong go back to £5 ones gl with what you do though and keep up the good work
hi Daz, thank you for the imfo. i wouldn,t normally move up a level until i had 100 buy-ins so really i should have £1100 in my b/roll b4 i attempt £11.
but as this is simply a challenge to try and get to £1000 asap within reason, i mean i don,t want to still be hear still trying in 9 months time say. i have laid out my plan at the beginning so i am determined to at least try and stick with it. i will only be playing 1 table @ £11 to start off with as i did when i moved up to £5. then depending on how i feel after that game go from there. if at the end of the session i drop below £220(20 buy-insx£11) then i will drop back down to £3 & £5 again,so i really can,t lose. that,s the great thing about this mission.... it,s very nearly fail-proof.!!! be lucky,
yea sounds similar to my plan if it goes wrong when you go up a level drop back grind till you were where you were at then have another bash at it, you dont lose anything then if i just stuck to £5dym id be well up on my br but i use what i win to play mtts, i may just leave mtts for a couple of days and just do the dym see how i get on, but at least im getting the buy ins for the mtts for free to an extent.
hi again daz, yes,sounds like how you do things workd well 4 u. do you also find by mixing up what u play stops u getting bored or maybe bogged down abit? i,ve never really attempted playing mtts and not even to sure what they are? i,m guessing they are just mini tournaments with a set prize fund.? also i don,t think i.d like the low win rate or cash rate which i believe goes with them? :-) dev

yea i like mixing it up quite a bit, mtts are multi table tornyments and the prize funds if you can take one down are big for your buy in. If say you play a £1 or £2 rebuy mtt you can win between £30-60 if you play in the bigger ring games like the mini for £3 you can cash for upto about £300 so ROI is very good, the only thing with them is ovb there is a lot more varience and you have to beat a lot of players so you cant expect to cash at every game. But they def are worth a look at devonfish and if you win one in a day your br will be boosted tenfold. Try out a few of the low end stakes mtts and see if you like them thats why my br is where it is.

Totally agree with Daz (as usual). Was getting a little bored with DYM's hence my recent venture into the world of MTT's. With my £90 win on Monday it does wonders for your confidence and of course your B/R ! :-) Give it go Dev , load one up whilst you're grinding DYM's. Mick

do u ever use sharkscope ?
also if you had to sum up your overall strategy in one sentance, what would it be ?
thanks m8...that means alot.
no i,ve not got it,i,m guessing that it,s not free,?
so no i,ve never used it.do you?
and if so....do u find it usefull.?
would it/could it improve my dym game?especially if i was to move up levels.
as to my strategy,
keep it simple i guess.it,s pretty much abc poker.

cheers m8,

good luck buddy hope playing the extra tables pays off.
i,ll be interested to see how you get on.
i,m sure u will enjoy having the extra monitor,it will make playing more tables easier.
i use my second monitor 4 the lobby,which really makes it alot easier if i need to go there to load tables or anything else i need to know or do.
if i ever manage to get to 13 tables or more then i will treat myself to a 3rd monitor,another 27"to go with the 1 i,m now using.
i,m comfortable playing 9/10 atm any more & i,m making basic errors

looks like u were unlucky losing 3-2 @ £2.25,s y,day losing all 3 on the bubble.
i did say it would hurt u more if u lost didn,t i .
yes,i did 1st start playing 30p dym,s,won more than i lost...
didn,t play many though as i moved up to 60p same day or nxt day,can,t remember now 4 sure.
anyway soon got to the £1 level again winning there, then £2.
took me some time getting to £3 i can remember as i only wanted to move up once i had 100 buy-ins
4 that level,£300.
i am only playing the £5 level atm because of this challenge.
i don,t know your b/roll,but if u r moving up to £2 and thinking about playing £3 too,
i would say u need a minimum of 20/30 buy-ins ie;£60-£90.
anyway,
good luck m8,
i,m sure u can do it.!!!
