a new year..a new game...CASH...still playing

Hi all,
'happy new year to everyone'

after last months priority dym grind,i've decided that i need a change.
so have decided to play some nl cash.

with a starting b/roll of £331.82) that i've given myself,(my loose change)
i'm starting at nl10 probably 2/4 tables to start off with and see how it goes.
i am no cash player so i have no real expectations.
if i lose this money,which i know is very likely,then it's back playing DYM...again.

this is not a challenge as such,just something different for me, as i've been playing dym's for the past 8/9 months or so.
i know i am only playing with 31 buy-ins for nl10 which is far from ideal for me,being such a b/roll nit,but as i've said,when it's gone...it's gone.
i suppose if i did drop down to around the £100/£150 i would have to consider dropping to nl4,which would seem
to make the most sense.
i could start at nl4 i know,but as it's very likely i might be there at some point anyway,so i feel i am giving myself the best possible starting place at nl10.

i don't want to post every day and bore you all,and this is certainly not intended as a place for me to come and 'brag' to you all,should the unlikely happen.if anything it's more than odds on that i could be back playing dym again very soon.  lol
as with all the new year challenges just starting up and of course any old ones from last year,they are all very personal to the players concerned,as this one will become,hopefully,to me.
good luck and best wishes to all of you with your challenges and goals for this year, and to everyone in general here at Sky poker.
lets hope 2013 is a lucky one for us all.

'be lucky'
:)

    The roll seems fine to me i generally like 30BIs at whatever stake i am playing in cash. If i remember from back in my nl4 days you were a competant reg there once upon a time. Nl10 standard is slightly better but avoid regs and value town loose cally players. Im sure you will do well. Good luck

    31bi`s plenty for this level I mainly play 10/20nl and played with you before a while back you will be fine at this level.

    like others have said avoid the regs and focus on getting value from other unknowns m8.

    also could have bumped into you this month but going to take a break from cash and online poker in general for a wee while totally burned out atm been playing a lot last 6mths and done well on cash tables just need a time off but hopefully see ya soon on the tables.

    GL with your latest game choice Dev - may change my own mind about playing a greater number of cash tables now and stick to playing the DYMs now there will be one less quality reg!!

    Sure you'll see a slow and steady profit from this venture.

    A change is as good as a break, keeps your brain tickin over.
    Tried to get on one of your tables but there was 360 waiting..LOL
    Poker is poker once you get used to the change in play.
    GOOD LUCK.

    Good luck!

    Your number of tables seems to make no sense to me at all. DYMs at times take more concentration than cash tables so I don't understand how you can go from 18 tables of DYM and only 2-4 on cash. You should easily be able to play at least 6 cash tables probably 10.

    FWIW if you played less DYM tables  I think you would be a lot more successful at them. I played some £5 ones last month when on a super downswing and I noticed you timed out nearly every time it was your go! lol

    hi flasflush,
    ty m8,
    i'm only starting off playing 2-4 tables and i have another plan up my sleeve also,to go with it.
    as i've not played cash properly for the best part of a year now,i thought i'd start off slowly and if successful,which is by no means any more than 50/50 imo,gradually crank it up.

    you could well be right regarding playing less dym tables being more successful.
    last month was an exception though as i was going for priority for the 1st time,simply for the challenge.
    i don't normally play 20+ tables as i did all last month.
    i usually play between 12 and 15 sometimes as many as 18.
    i was also aware of the timing out and trust me it was very deliberate.
    if my cash adventure doesn't work out,then i'm sure i'll be back playing dym's again and will probably go back to playing 12-15 tables again.
    if in the future auto-seat and resizable tables are introduced,then i honestly think that using the timing out method that i have just been experimenting with,it could well be possible to play up to as many as 40 tables.
    i'm not sure if i will ever try it,knowing me though....yes is probably the answer.
    as to whether i could win or even come out level over a month and therefore earn some decent c4p reward,is another question.
    hope that explains.
    :)

    day 1


    lost £33.09

    cash b/r £280.53

    c4p 156  total 389

    played nl10  4 tables  7 hours.

    went pretty much as i expected and losing was no surprise for me.
    thought i played ok just not well enough,i guess.
    i know it's all about position and agression and i'll do my best to keep on working at it.

    probably play later on today now,once i've had some sleep and been to work.
    feeling tired and a bit down atm,but it's not like i've not been here before.  lol

    i'm no good at posting hands so i don't think i'll even try.
    with just 28 buy-ins left i know i can't afford to keep losing sessions,even though this is only the first session.
    i'm expecting a similar result for the next 2 or 3 sessions for sure,maybe even worse.
    if it comes across as being a bit negative,i'm sorry,but i'm just being honest and that's how i'm feeling atm.
    i'm sure once the next session begins i'll start feeling better and more optimistic,well hopefully.

    time for bed,
    night all,or possibly good morning even.
    :)
