if you are crushing DYMs then you shnoudln't have a problem
pick your spots for cbetting (dry boards), and don't slowplay too much.
with regard to bankroll, put aside ~£100 for it and once you've doubled it move up.
for some reason on here (im guessin the software) it doesnt take it to account the active pot, for example,
if on the river there is £20 in the pot, player A has £100, player B has £5, A pushes B calls, sky counts this pot as £125, whereas infact the pot is only £30
Another bit of advice is to play 100bb deep and always reload if u lose a few bb's especially at the start, as it is effectively cutting into your potential profits.
I have not long made the step up from 4NL having started with a 5 pound bankroll given to me by Sky. (Very kind of them).
The following is some things I hope you can find useful.
Someone has already said but sit with 100bb's and reload when you lose a few.
Never sit with more than 5% of your bankroll and I general leave when it reaches 10% but do give it serious consideration because sometimes if the stack sizes are right you shouldn't leave winning games.
Makes raises 4xbb +1 for each limper (minimum) if you are getting called in too many spots increases it. Don't worry what people think about your raising amounts, they generally won't notice or undersatnd why your doing it.
You want to get yourself 1 on 1 with the donk overcalling marginal hands.
Don't cbet with air, don't bluff not even semi bluffing you want to control the pot size with draws. Tight players will look for an excuse to fold and loose players will look for an excuse to to call. However do value bet thinly at these levels (cbet 2nd pair, 3rd pair) as you generally will still be way ahead and get paid off from loose calls.
Tighten up your raising range, in certain spots it might be better to limp call small pairs to get paid off.
Most importantly develop good reads and adjust your game accordingly if your just getting started at cash play no more than 2 tables to achieve this and ENJOY IT.
Hope this helps any questions do ask!

But I seriously doubt that. Never have I had a survery/consultation about the structurs of the tables on offer on Sky so where would they get this data from.
I would imagine it is to due to rake.
And it is really bad to have these on offer. The people who play those stakes are usually the most inexperienced, and it really sets a bad example.
I'm all for deepstacked tables, but to have ONLY them is wrong. But I brought it up some months ago, and I don't even play those stakes, and nothing was done so w/e.
