DYM Challenge 100 games at £2.25
Hi All
After reading Lamberts and Larsons diary nearly everyday i am going to set myself a little
challenge. I have been playing for around 6 months now (not to great success). i have won a few tourneys at micro stakes. At the start i was entering everything BR management was terrible. But recently been doing little bit of research and reading bits and pieces on here. i am roughly Break even for the last couple of months.
I read John Connors blog about DYMs and this has really helped when playing these sort of games. i seem to win at these more often and at the moment enjoy them as at least i win a few times.
So my challenge is to play 100 2.25 DYMs in the next week or so. My aim will be to try and win at least 60%.
I will update everytime i play 5-10 games. I might post some hands and would love some feedback.

Well done mate, Brilliant start, i've started playing quite a lot of HU S n G's recently.
I might start up something similiar to see eaxctly how i'm doing in them. When i started i was winning well in excess of 50% (at £1 level), but this week it's been a bit different I either crush them or get destroyed. It's amazing the different standards you come across.
DYM at this level, I'm sure you will do it mate. I just find with them it takes so long to geta game over with (atleast 30 mins). When i started playing, this is the main game i played and always got scared on the bubble lol You've inspired me i'm off for a DYM game just now.
Last week i tried doing the 50p win, 1 win, and so on. I only got up 2 the £2 level haha
and they are not really any harder imo.
gl with this anyway mate.

In the past i have tried the 3.30 games as you say not alot different. Want to play my 100 then hopefully move up. Going to try a few tonight.
A while back there i played the £1.05 HU Hypers and in 2 days went fron 3 quid in my account to £40. Then thought this is easy and started playing 2 and 3 quid ones BR went down pretty quick.
I have found when you hit the bubble you have to go for it and be aggro. If you are way in the lead no need then. But if you are 3rd or 4th you have to go for it and get your chips in.
Actually a little pleased as didnt let the first couple annoy me and played well and ran well in the last few. Luck changed in my last game JJ verus KK i had Js and got the third J on Turn.

Well last night lost my 1st 5 games in a row. Recovered a little then lost my last 2 games. played 25 won 11.
Two bad starts over the last 2 nights very hard to recover especially as the rake is quite high as well.

26 wins

I havent really post much on the forum so i was just setting myself a challenge northing more just a bita fun.
Previous to this i had been doing well at 2.25 DYMs up around 40 quid in a month. Just my luck i start a posting and i go on a downswing.

Awh ok. Send me a private message if your interested in any advice. However the reason I asked if you learned anything is because I believe the best way to learn is by teaching yourself instead of getting advice from others. However I can give you some simple but important pointers. 99% of my play is dym.

Posting this up, helps keep you focussed. Once you've completed your 100 games, why don't you keep this running to track how your games are going?
Good luck mate

95 played
45 wins
