    so yesterday played really bad at times was unlucky at other times lost 5/5 to start a mix of £2 and £5 games so was chasing it from early on.really bad day just could not get going yesterday should have just left it for the day after the 1st few games.

    just got into the thinking no matter what i was playing i was losing. but things will pick up just need too start paying more attention and stop playing when im doing other things ...right here is how it went yesterday..

    played 7 £2.25  lost 6 so lost -£11.75 on these

    played 12 £5.50s won 5 lost 7 for a loss of -£16

    played the £100 gtd hi/lo busted out after a bad call and bad play. -£5.50

    played a £100 timed tournament busted a pair of tens v kk maybe should not have put my chips it in but i did.   -£5.50

    also played a £2.20 six max busted in that 1 would probably play more of these but it takes ages too get them too fill up

    played 3 of the £1.10 hi/lo tournaments won 2 of them for a profit

     a total loss of £33.70 yesterday ouch... so balance is standing at £39.15

    hopefully a better night tonight gl all

    I hope my chips helped your roll increase tonight ! :-)

    One thing i did notice in one game was that you had over 4k chips (5 handed) and still limping into multi way hands.
    Could fold to the cash with that stack.

    Gl m8

    I'll be back !!

    cheers vespa i know what u mean with the sitting out i do try and sit it out but i always seem too get dragged into it again when its down too 4 so im kind of wary doing it i feel for me its better too just try and get as much chips as possible till its done.p.s i,am sure u will take them back again...

    so onto yesterday started of with a few losses then started too get a few wins later in the night and just as i feel im starting too get into a rythme again the games dried up typical..

    never wrote all games down had baby and son to deal with all day and night and just can,t be bothered going too check history..

    i played a lot better yesterday except i played a £11 game and just wasn,t concentrating and seen a hand that was not there doh! was happier with how i played yesterday even although i still ended up down but at least i feel i played alot better than i have for a couple of days..

    played 2 £2.25 and won 2 today so far and reged in 2 more and my balance is sitting at £31.25 so onwards and upwards time for me too get that back up today no kids till tonight so try get a few games while i have some peace and quiet target for today is too be back upto £50 good luck all

    Hand1: Raise pre, fold to a rr

    hand2: meh, it happens

    hand3: fold pre - if the pot was unopened, i would raise, but as played I think its a fold vs a player who basically went AI.no need to take any risks like this with your stack and the blinds as they are.

    ---

    Hand4:snap fold pre...horrible hand.

    Hand5: again, why limp? you have to fold to a raise behind you. Its not that strong a hand. if the table is very passive, then i guess limping is ok.

    hand6:  fold on the turn... its omaha, you havent go the flush or any low possibilities, and there is a bet and a rr in front of you. I cant get the cards in the muck quick enough personally

    thanks for the reply chickenmelt I posted these more too let a wee bit of steam of and too try and get my self playing better.
    i stopped playing dyms had a go at the freerolls as was just getting called with any hand they had there was some crazy play going on over the last few days.so had a break and then got back too it,

     i agree with you on all except maybe the last hand. i found that 1  a hard 1 too let go had 10 outs and was pretty sure had the best hand on flop the other 2 players i know wellish on the hi/lo games so know that both will go all in trying too force a fold with any cards which they did feel on that hand i would win it more than lose it.

     good luck

    started yesterday really bad and was just not gettiing nowhere lost the 1st 7 games i played some bad play by me but some of the calls where crazy and then they would hit was,nt only me that was saying there was some crazy play going on.

    Well after that start i was down too like £7ish and in a game i think then i won a dym 1st game wohoo so a six max i was waiting on filling for ages i think if i registered at 9.30 in the morning iit would still not fill too 5.
    and i got a win in that 1 needed it at that point and it was a boost finished 2nd in another of them in which i was down to 50 chips and really should have won it as was at 5500 chips and played a silly hand.but second was not bad from then on started too play a lot better  ended up a ok day after all.

    won £14.87 in a £5.50 15 min100gtd so withat result i stand at

    there was this hand last night which i seen happen and someone said too another player that they should not be going in after he bet.this player disagreed but if they look at it now they will see why. they have went in when they have double the shortie,s stack and also just gave the top stack the opportunity too knock them out as with the stack he has and raise he has made he is going all in and your also shoving before the shortie so he goes oh wll was folding too 700 so definetly folding too 2200 knowing there is a good chance the big stack is calling and if he wins shortie survives and gets paid!

    Hello! I know what kag was saying as in I shouldnt have re raised in these circumstances. However no 1 I dont think he should have called my reraise. Infact when I reraised despite him being the bigstack I think the sensible thing would be for him to fold and not get invovled which is partly the reason I reraised as I expected a fold. Secondly I had a very strong handand its very possible he had a weak one as a raise in those circumstances by the big stack is common, and thirdly it would not take long at all for the short stack to catch me on one double up and suddenly i could be scrambling myself.

    Trust me I know what your saying and trust me I know how dym strategy works as Ive played a few :). Im not asking for an agreement but maybe giving my explanation (not that you need it as you have enough experience). 

    Have to say I really enjoyed playing the hi lo tables and the friendliness really reinforces sky to be way ahead of other sites. Thanks for making me feel welcome churchy.

    i know what you are saying and understand your thinking and i know you have played quite a bit.but i would still fold that 1 the other player is a regular he won,t just shove with rubbish so thats my main reason for folding it and and at that stage i would just leave it unless i had akq2 or somthing like that..

    as for the levels like we where talking about last night there really is not that much difference between the £2.25 and £5.50 games mostly the same players playing both levels just have a look at who is registered before u do.

    good luck and c u on the tables

    well yesterday was an ok day lost about a tenner but not that bad.plaed three £11 games and lost 2 thats where the real loss was so not too bad.

    started yesterday of well won 7 out the 1st 8 at £5.50 but then went on too lose a few in a row just how it seems too be going for me the now need too tighten up and really stop trying too bust people and wait on them doing it themselves.

    Also got too play in the hit squads hi/lo game last night had a laugh very freindly and a good game i played rotten  and went out 9th of 12 i think but was good fun so cheers vespa

    was going well in the £100 gtd game until the hands above.so pretty gutted at that

    so here is roughly what games i played yesterday (full history below)

    £2.25 played 4 won 2 lost 2

    played 18@£5.50 and won 10 lost 8 should be alot better.

    played 2x£1.10 hi/lo and got £4.00 in 1 so profit

    played 3@£11 won 1 lost2

    played a 3.30 hi/lo tourney which was just a heads up really won that

    also played the hit squad this donk is fun hi/lo games but busted in that 1.

    played a £1.10hi/lo game lost and wona £5.50 games while doing this so balance at £75.67 good luck all

    In Response to Re: My own wee diary!:
    Hi Churchy, I think I've played you enough times to offer a little advice. Firstly, I'd recommend you find a game you are most comfortable with, either the £1 or £2 DYM.  Stick to it, don't deviate.  The bank roll you have set yourself, isn't imo, big enough to play the £5 DYM games.  Although the best DYM player in the world can often win ten games on the trot, the very same player can very easily lose five games straight. That isn't a problem if the bank roll can accomodate such losses, but it is a problem if the losing streak leaves you busto.  That's the last thing you want to happen. There's also a danger that you will be scared to lose if you are playing too high a stake DYM.  If that happens your game will be affected. Secondly, be selective with your hands in the early levels. Very selective.  You will know by name the regular players who are more than keen to call with any four.  As you know, these guys try to get involved in every pot.  During the early levels, playing only the best starting hands at least maximises your chance (over the long run) of beating them. Thirdly, and probably most importantly, as others have said, when it gets to the later stages, the final four, get aggressive. Especially if you are short stacked. Don't flat call with a good hand, get your chips in the middle,  If you run into a better hand, so be it, if you get outdrawn by rubbish, so be it.  In the long run, being aggressive wins out. People will fold if they are holding junk and you raising with above average hands will see you winning more hands than not, when you do get called/put all-in. Finally, (From very personal experience I know this!) try not to play if you are distracted or half busy doing something else at the same time.  The times I have miss-clicked, or literally misread my cards is insane. The game is hard enough to win when fully concentrated on what is happening, so don't reduce your chances even further by playing with one eye on the screen. That must be difficult with a new baby (congrats btw) but try your best. It is possible to win and to build a bankroll playing DYMs, it does just take time, patience, and a love of the game you are playing.  You have to enjoy it,  it is afterall a game, a hobby.  That ultimately has to be more important than simply playing a game in order to win money. Very best of luck to you and everyone else at the HiLo tables.  Apart from that bloke who calls everyone a clown, or worse.  He needs a smacked bottom as he's a very naughty boy.

    afternoon all hope all is well..Well on too yesterday had a really good night and was running very well indeed i feel i probably played the best i have since i started this wee diary played 18 dyms and won 14 of them so really pleased i got a night where i beat them and not just scraping by with a small profit.

    Things started of ok won 2out of 2 at £5.50 then lost 1 after that i never looked back i was getting it in and my hands where holding or if i was after a flush it would come just running really well last night pity the games dried up wish it could have kept going for another couple of hours.

    ok then the results from yesterday.....

    played 3@£11 and won the 3 of them

    played 11 @£5.50 won 7 and lost 4

    played 4@£2.25 and won all 4

    played 2 £1.10 hi/lo tournaments lost in both

    played the 100gtd hi/lo played quite well in it and managed too finish 2nd for a cash of £37.50

    played a small £3.30 hi/lo game as well only 5 players but i won it and got £15 back from that 1

    i also played 3x £5.50 100 gtd timed tournaments (baby was up and no one was playing hi/lo) lost the 3 of them.

    so all in all it was a goodnight for me ended up with a total of £141.77 (would have been £158 without  the timed games)which is double what i started the day with so really happy with that..

    well as i said things are a little tight at the moment due too me not working and the missus keeping me so i thought since i did so well yesterday that i would take out £60 so that i could take the missus out for a nice wee pub lunch since she had a day off work today so my balance stands at   £80.77  this will be my last withdrawal until i hit a set target now its just trying too think of a realistic target as yesterday wont happen everyday...will come back with a target later but im thinking about £300 by the end of febuary..

    also quite chuffed i have made over £20.00 in my cash for points and no i never tried the ps4 promo new i had no chance most points i have had before was about 1300 so thats a nice wee bonus coming next week..

    anyhow good luck all and have fun   Churchy

    well never played many yesterday just was not in the mood should have just turned the comp of and left it till today i don,t know what was the matter with me yesterday was playing but was not really concentrating my head was somwhere else oh well at least i stopped before i lost too much..

    I would like too say a big thanks too all that have been offering words of encouragement in the chatbox and on this thread thanks..

    And too the people who have suddenly been a wee bit nippy about this diary and what iam doing.  I don,t think im very good at the game i have still got lots too learn and improve on but at least i am trying its quite strange knowing that after u have finsihed that you are going too post how good or bad you have done that day.like the 1st day i had too post results and i had busted the £24 that i had in my account and had too put another £20 in that was not the best feeling but thats the point of me doing this it is too try and make myself improve my play.

    After that 1st day i could have just given up but thats not me i,am a determined person and i will hit my targets which will change as i hit each one too start with it was all just about how long could i play with my small roll.

    Now i feel i should set a small target and then hit that and then make a new target.so the target which i think is achievable with the balance i have is£250  by the end of febuary so please all the haters keep donating and thanks for paying for my lovely pub lunch yesterday nothing beats a free feed and a few cold ones :@) also since i started this with my £24 + £20 i have took £100 out in total so i am over £100 in profit since starting this wee diary not a fortune but a nice enough profit for me considering i only play 2 tables at a time 3 at a push not very comfy with any more than that.

    so yesterday i only played

    4@£2.25 lost 3 of them

    played 8@£5.50 won3 lost 5

    played 2x£2.20 six max games won 1 for £7.80 and lost the other

    played the 100gtd and busted in that as well also played a £1.10 hi/lo tourney and busted in that as well

    so on too today hopefully later i am in a better mood and can start getting the balance going back up again.

    good look all and have fun ..........balance is at £58.57
