I think you played the AKs and the A3s both pretty much perfectly. With the AKs there's not a lot you can do there. You can flat as your in position and hope he bets again on the river but you risk a 4th spade coming and killing your action. While click-raising may appear to telegraph your hand to some extent I still think it's the percentage play overall in that spot. With the A3s on the button I'm shipping all day long in that spot.

Noted down 2 hands to illustrate 'DYM Mindset'. MP33 has also posted a good one above, folding AA pre-flop. The first hand below, the guy makes a horrible min-raise pre. My options as I see them are to 3 bet or call and set-mine in a multi-way pot. I elect to set-mine as I often will in this spot, very suspicious of the min raise after limpers. After what looks like a dream flop I'm still aware of my pre-flop decision that I was playing the 10-10 for set-mining value only. Also the size of the c-bet makes it look like if I'm playing, I'm playing for stacks and there are also active opponents behind me. I think in the long run, if I go with my 10-10 here, I stack off too often vs higher pairs for the play to be profitable in DYMs.
Really hope I can stay at this level, the poker points come in nice and fast!

p.s. I'm still pondering the "villain with the AA" hand ya posted?? I think it's a test you've set us ? I'll re-read/study it in morning as I'm whacked! Great bloggage ftw!
Also, hoping to play some DYMs tomorrow as Thurday is my day off work now so hopefully there'll be an update then. Run well everyone!
have you contacted CC and explained see if they can do something for you as it seems you must have been disco'd for a fair while
If your connection drops, try ringing your house number. If the connection picks up then that indicates a high resistance fault - basically a a bad connection joint in the line between you and the exchange. Ringing your house number sends a current down the line and bridges the gap.
That's what was wrong with mine. Apparently it's quite a common problem especially on old copper lines. Eventually I got a BT engineer out - BT are ultimately responsible for the line even if you pay line rental to Sky - and he was brilliant. He replaced the box where the line comes in to the house and checked all the joints back to the exhange. The result is a rock solid connection that's now as fast as the line can take.
Keep complaining and get it sorted - we need you on the tables!
Anyway, felt OK to play some DYMs and played well enough overall. Ran really badly, though. I'm definately due some run bad but it all seems to be coming in the £5.50s at the moment :-(. So it's back down to the £3.30s (again!) for me for a little while...

Cheers for the advice on my previous posts ( and to teh others )
Havent played any DYM,s on here tonight as i was just railing the UKOPS but it seems very hard to get a game after 2 am so i sometimes play $10 DYM,s with 10 players and using a HUD
Any advice on the differences between 6 and 10 players ( same blinds ) ?
Cheers

Ps - Played a few sats on here and some NL4 and managed to get BR back to over £100 but still waiting for a propper run and a few DYM sessions togethor
The games you're referring to, particularly where there are 6 players left are the toughest kind and my least favourite. Unfortunately, there's not that much you can do to be honest. Because there are more people to shove through (and this has a hugeimpact on shoving ranges) you may well have to tighten up, even at the expense of your stack getting smaller than you would like. That's to say, tighten up when shoving junk, don't try and shove it through multiple opponents. There's also the problem of players being more likely to enter pots before you. In these circumstances I think you have to take full advantage of any spots that do present themselves to you, as you'll never be sure when you can be first into the pot again. So I can see there being many spots where I would shove ATC in the small blind. If the blinds are really big compared to stacks, though, actual hands (not junk) will go up in value alot. So I wouldn't be folding any medium pairs or decent aces. I'd be shoving these from any position really, and potentially calling with them as well, depending how short stacks are.
Bit awkward, those spots, so hope the above makes at least some sense.
I have never played many 10 seater DYMs to be honest so will just answer as best I can. The first thing that comes to mind is that they could be potentially easier (at lower stakes) as there is more room for weaker players. The second thing goes straight against the first and is that, if you mean Stars, I imagine that the $10 are seriously reg infested, to the point where there's probably no value at all. As I put that I remember that DoNs have been replaced by 50/50s or something so maybe you don't mean stars?
Anyway, generally I would think that the main differences would be that you would need to play even tighter 10 handed than six max, particularly early on. Then the middle would play pretty similar I would of thought, with lts of button and cut off steals going on. Then there would be huge differences on the bubble I would suspect and more room for planning. The bubble in 6 max has an orbit of 4 hands whereas 10 handed has 6 hands. So there's more room for you to stay out of the way but also more chance of the blinds going up before your next turn. Just be aware of those factors I would say.
Also, regarding the HUD, don't know what you have at the moment, but spending some time setting that up properly (maybe just an hour or so) should pay dividends. I'm sure you can even copy a winning regs if you go on that large forum. Anyway, the main actual stats should be focused on stealing, both attempts and folds to steals. That's easy enough. The other crucial part is to make sure the filters are set up and working correctly. That's for both no. of BBs and no. of players left. These 2 things dictate STT strategy so it's vital to take them into account.
Unfornately I havent got my head around getting tat set up properly . i just use it to enter games as the table pops up 1st and i can see there basic stats while playing - eg if they are a losing /winning player etc
Anyone know a guide to setting these things up properly ( for someone who struggles as it is with softaware and poker software in general
Ps - i know what your saying tho JC - To have that information to hand would be huge
