You would need to know:
Your start BR, Your end BR, Total # of games played, Stake, Return
£100 £111.50 27 £5.50 £10
(Example figures above)
This will not work if you change buyins mid-session.
1) Multiply the buyin by the total number of games played. £5.50 x 27 = £148.50
2) Either add on your profit, or subtract your loss for the day £148.50 + £11.50 = £160
3) Then Divide this the return at your level £160/£10 = 16
That gives you how many games you have won which is 16/27 for this scenario.
So you would still need to record how many games you have played.
Remember my bad beats in the 7.15 DS and 7.45 DS last night in the DTD, well I ran a bit better in the TOT and came 2nd for just over £55 so that's cheered me up
That's pretty much covered my losses from that horrendous session of bad beats in DYMs
the £5DYm seem a little easier but then £10 are just full of regs.
If certain players are in the £50 DYM there is super value to be had
If there are still 5+ runners post level 7-8 and you are all on equalish chip stacks what is the best thing to do?
JC replied:
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 huge impact 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.
Paid off at least although bubble time was quite scary :S
Played 17 £5.50s W 13 L 4
Played 5 £11s W 4 L 1
Bankroll - £256.52
So moved upto the £11s here and had a nice little introduction. Now getting 10 league points per win instead of 7. Recognised alot more names already at this level than I have been doing previously in this challenge, which will be a bad thing overall. Feeling good overall, though, especially as the £11 level is where the Priority Club comes back into view (more realistically, though, with my volume at the minute, I think that may come at the £22 level).
Should squeeze a few games in tonight so will update later providing I'm not too tired, or else it will be tomorrow. Run well everyone, please keep your updates coming so everyone can get behind!
Played - 149
Won - 92
Lost - 57
Good Luck with your challenge!

I havn't been playing many DYMs recently, I kind of got a bit bored with them and have started playing a lot of cash, although have played some recently with a decent win rate. I might try and pick up from the £11s (where I left off last time) but play cash at the same time and keep a note of my "DYM Bankroll" as I am starting to find them fun again.
Grats on the BR increase, it's starting to look chunkier
How is playing cash working out for you? It is on my list of things to do in the new year, however I don't feel my game is anywhere near good enough to dabble in the cash ring games.

So far cash has been much better for me than DYMs, I'm making more money and earning more poker points, will make 3k for the first time this month!
Just got massively confused doing this update lol. Anyway the long and short is that the balance at the end of my last update should have read £266.52 (£10 more than it did do). So played a few last night:
Played 26 £11s W 15 L 11
Bankroll - £280.52
Hopefully playing tonight and watching the live show too, doesn't get much better...
Took on board quite a few of your thoughts and over my last 500 games or so
i have been on a right roll. I reckon main reason is that i am at last FOLDING at the right times and
starting to be more aggressive.
Generally play £ 11 and a few £ 16.50 but also £ 11.00 Turbo DYM which if played correctly are really
profitable.
Everyone keep it up.

Well I've currently got 2147 points, but more than enough time to hit 3k, my previous best was 2k and im hoping to make 4k next month, yours will increase steadily as you move up the levels, don't worry : )
