No such luck during my first total sit and go day. £1+15 had began in a decent manner providing me with cash from 7 of the 8. Mid way into my session I'd got myself into a mess with to many tables and it had gone on longer than expected due to the mid and late stage DYMs being normal speed rather than turbo.
Took another day off yesterday due to such tiredness from my volenteering work at milkwellburne woods in blackhall mill village.
Tongiht proved to be another night whereby a decent beginning gets mess up because of DYM over load along side lobby confusion. The issues were some of my regular blind level DYMs were going on longer than expected creating points where I've had 9 tables up due to the additional £1K freeroll another cause of it was when I'd occassionally needed to register for a new DYM in the lobby due to failure in the one just finished and if that wasn't enough, I also had occassion issue with tiling forcing me to resize the table myself, this was no clearer than at the very end when I went for a max of 6 after taking a little break.
It might have had lots of confision but luckily enough £1 DYMs had got themselves lucky with a winnings suprisingly more than i'd though and thankfully this has made up for what was a heavy price i suffered in the£2 DYMs
When I first reviewed my game on thursday I thought my bad time might have been due to confusion and playing too many tables at once, I didn't have anything like this today but still seemed to be frequently making exits.
I've paid a more indepth review of my games today and also looked at those yesterday and noticed my DYM W/L ratio was ok whereas turbo DYMS have had a 50/50 win loss ratio. sometime last month I did a simular review of them and that too had a 50/50 win loss ratio making me question weather rake could make these too big a risk? Out of the 14 turbo exits 11 were £2.25, 3 were £1.15, i'd won 4 £2.25 and 10 £1.15

Hi It is under Sit & Go Strategy The first post - ABC of DYMS by John Connor- Tikay has a link to it in his first post. I think it is a permanent thread as the title is in red.
Been a while since i last updated but nothing much to report other than £3.30 getting lost in DTD 1 and 2 having fealt too keen on watching some of the shows on channel 5 this week.
kept myself on standard DYMS alone today and it did appear to make a better outcome, my DYM exits generally had a win between each and every one of them other than one occassion when i'd went 2 in a row. 6 tables were my limit 4 £1.15 and 2 £2.25. Prior to the sit and go i also did a late entry into a semi sat for £1.60 which didn't go well but that price was soon reduced to 60p loss from £1 cash in freeroll
Overall: £1.60 £2+25p: £2.00 5/8 £1+15p 20p 7/12-these were generally a cash then exit pattern
finally I've calmed myself down and feel relaxed enough to play some poker again and when a team loses 5-1 against palace and a former manager it certainly can be difficult to get over.
Tonight DYMs were based mainly on £2+25p DYMs more that anything with a total of 19 played and cashing out in 11, i did have 2 £1+15p DYM but neither were cashed and alongside those were 3 £+30 PL08 and 2 got cashed.
Although I kept myself away from the main poker yesterday did have $5 won on 888 when I decided to try some 7 card stud as those betting routes meant cash was never to increase or decrease in large chunks therefore i'm certainly at minimum risk of becoming more wound up.
edit: freeroll did have a guarentee problem, sky gave all the missing cash next morning. overall £3.05
Tonight those £1+15p DYMs were filling up more frequently so the DYM tabling was a balance containing 3 £1+15p and 3 £2+25p (2 £2+25p DYMs whilst freeroll was going). £1+15p had a few bad timing all in double up intents alongside a sneaky bit of deceptive play so my BR hadn't did much increase. The £2+25p were a different story altogether, i'd only seen an early exit in 2 of them DYMs, the general reason for a better run in these was my AI doubles appeared to keep being folded, I did strike lucky with a smaller pair striking set and if that wasn't enough one DYM was finished even quicker than turbo when first up I knock out a person from Ch/C an AI made with 86o v A3o on 754 5hhh 2, I couldn't get my head round it at first but my guess is this was just a loose table as someone with A10 goes AI and gets called by 10 10 and AA on a river JJ 8 Q K.
as tight as DYMs are an all in isn't certain to get folds. when not against pairs, i'll usually win 30-40% of the time. Q. how often will I need a play to fold for this move to be a positive move?
A combination of winter giveaway cash time, private TPT MTT and the DYMs themselves means i've spread my time out onto a mixture of different styles. To begin with I'd played DYMs but my attempt to simplify some notes and stats made them feel disorganised but as it wasn't too far from 8pm I diverted across to cash before this problem got too bad.
A return sky cash tables were a thing I thought wmight have been left alone but tonights winter giveaway challenge meant i needed cash table points. I suspect I only needed 2 points awayed during the time they ask I jumped onto the first nl10p table available, entered with £5 and just played the patient game and once the point was given went out right away and returned onto DYMs and played these ones with a note structure more well planned and orgaised.
It looks like DYM domination has switch across from £1.15 to £2.25. £2.25 DYMs are expected to give me a larger total cash prize as £1.15 but the difference in winning percentages are making my £2.25 grand cash totals way more than twice as much as £1.15 and tonight itself had 7 out of 8 cash prizes achieve in £2.25 but just 7 out of 12 cash prize totals for £1.15 DYMs
Next week is unlikely to get much of a change but if my days go well enough I might take the next step up and begin to play a couple of £3.30 DYMs and have £2.25 DYMs as my new main ones.
Overall: £9.05- I could of had another £3.80 in the freeroll hoody when I had the choice of either taking the chance to double up with AQs or play it safe and fold, I took the gamble and went out to 102o hitting.
£1+15p DYM: -95p (7/13)- DYMs had 20p profit but due to being 2 points short of the 50 point target I did a quick turbo
This Monday it was all about DTD 3. AJs is 3bet jammed preflop and striked itself lucky as a pair of aces and from then on I was able to play general poker with a chipstack getting bigger and bigger, soon you'd see 2nd place twice or three times as small as myself and a chip stack 80BB deep at 800/1600.
DTD 1 and 2 were both unsucessful, DTD 1 was over before DTD 3 even began.
Overall:£58.27 MTT:£58.18 30p DYM: 10p (2/3) played for winter giveaway.
Although I've started to spend my entire poker time on either DYMs and MTTs I've not fully given up cash, my general aim at this minute in time is to just get my BR back towards £1000 through a poker game which varience is easy to take. Once it does get back to £1K I might play sky nl20 cash tables and most certainly play pokerstars cash more often.
Today saw me put full game time into low cost DYMs and it proved to be a break even one. I didn't really have too much expectation of a good time in my first total low stakes DYMs and all in situations did become slightly mor difficult due to a greater simularity in chip stack sizes during mid and late stages.
Tonight DYMs seemed to have a more unual dynamic than you normally expect, building up a nice chip stack during the early stages fealt more crucial to a win that you might expect because if by you didn't get this stack decent enough then you'd be facing a dilemma where you've either take a greater risk going all in or live in hope that you strike the board well enough to ensure limpers would not steal yet another blind through blocker betting.
There was a loss on both £3.30 and £2.25 DYM and of the two it was the £2.25 where luck came in most, £3.30 themselves had a frequent number of all ins being run into calling hands but the £2.25 had a number of losses caused by blocker betting chip drainage and riskier double up hopes.
Overall:-£13.35
£3+30p: -£3.6 (6/12) £2.25: -£4.5 (9/18)
1 hyper £5.25 was also lost when I played on a friends mobile for points but had I knew This would only give 3 points i'd have just left todays promo.
At this minute in time my bankroll overall is too small to even think about going onto cash, I made an attempt back in the spring to try and rebuild my bankroll but this proved too great a risk, I was frequently going over the top in attempts to build my bankroll back up at the time and because chasing cash on the days a small loss might hav e happened therefore I got heavy losses instead. my bankroll at this minute in time stands at £159 and that's just too small for nl10, as for nl4 I tend to believe I can make as much on a much smaller risk DYM game.
It's my determination to get this bankroll back to it's old size that makes me see DYMs the best route. These are an easy style of game, as a tournament game I'll have a much easier time putting that bad luck to one side whilst i continue playing relaxingly and a bad start won't risk chases as it's the sit and go which takes the cash rather than my hands. I could spenjd more time mid day on pokerstars where my bankroll is large and cash does get played.
Today I've made £22.90 in DYM cash which is not much more than I expect in a 3 hour nl4p and when looking at the rake part of it I've got 58p less that I'd normally loose on cash rake. at £200 I could drop £2 DYMs and move onto 3.30+ £5.50

Do you still play cash?
The rake on those £2 DYMs is ridiculously bad, even 10% is bad!
You would soon build up to 1k on cash, in no time at al @10nl.
