The thing that made up my mind was that the guy wasnt playing optimum DYM tactics by limp folding when blinds were high and he,d min raised a cpl of times before on the button
OBV best to see JC's opinion though
Will still be playing MTTs and Satellites but am gonna make notes of my buyins so I actually know how i'm doing in DYMs
GL all
My reason for posting today thoughis to ask ---- Do you think the low stakes ( up to £5 ) have got much harder over last 6 months?
i think the standard in general is going up all the time - even at NL4 now you have plenty of regs trying to make money
No real reads although he,s a reg + winning player
How would you play this . I was unsure from the start , but i figured if he had,t hit a Jack he might put in a small bet to get me off it, hence my all in
I think you can just about wait for a better spot here, yeah. It is very close though I think and it's just because the guy shouldn't ever really be folding that I would prefer to wait. If you had a bit more fold equity then it would become an OK shove. Similarly I would probably make this play, given your reads, if I held an Ace or most pairs.
I think you played this pretty much perfectly, the only thing I do differently is raise 3x pre-flop but it's really a matter of personal preference. It's made a touch easier by the villain having a small stack but I'm still raising even if he has more chips. As you're aware the villain is a good reg so can probably mix up his play but I would definately be making a note on this play.
Played 20 £3.30s W 17 L 3
Bankroll - £105.32
Had a run of 14 straight wins at the beginning which, coupled with any wins at the end of the last session, should have been my best run ever I think. After an initial miscalculation I've just realised that I only need £110 to move up to the £5.50s, so I'm nearly there! I thought this was going to be one of the longest steps (time/no. of games-wise) but it looks like it could be the shortest. Hope I haven't just jinxed it, pretty excited with where I am at the minute. Hope to get a good grind in on Saturday where hopefully I'll be able to make the jump to the next level...
Have'nt seen a game like this for ages n1.Every game i play goes to level 8-9.
But anyway, don't wanna rain on our parade. Very nice work, impressive how big your BR is already, won't be happy if you catch up with me after how much of a head start I had! lol.
This is probably one of the reasons i,m going wrong.
Since last session won 1 and lost last 3 on trot. I had a brk for a cpl of weeks and since ive come back , just cant seem to get anything going and i dont feel my play has been that gr8 either
I havn't been able to concentrate on DYMs properly atm, after winning £16 on wednesday I lost about £14 yesterday through a couple outdraws, but somehorrible decisions by me at times.
I took a break from DYMs and opened a couple cash tables +£44 so gonna take a shot at the £11s tonight, hopefully the increase in stake will help keep me motivated.
EDIT: First game of the day £11, 2nd hand get it all in KK vs AK he binks, play a £5.50 we both have a pair of 10s, I have him outkicked, he hit's 2nd pair on the river. Demoralised... played cash up £45
Maybe I should just stick to cash for a while lol, but anyway, I now have £274 so have a bit more of a cushion if I do start playing the £11s properly.
Played 11 £3.30s W 6 L 5
Played 20 £5.50s W 13 L 7
Bankroll - £125.02
Poker points - 1182
League position - 26th
Just wondered what you thought of this hand in level 1. Did i scare him off to early with the min raise and i,m guessing you wouldnt advocate getting it all in pre against an unknown as your probably flipping and thats not what u want in DYM,s or is there a case for it
How would you play this from the button - Cheers
managed to cash in nxt hand

Ps I,ve just managed to get my msn on again and will put my address for anyone else who uses it and wants to discuss any hands etc -
edit = cant find it at the minute but im on skype as well as joebananas33
Went out on the bubble with this hand : Would you have done the same?
Only managed a cpl of ga,es - Still not put in a session over 5 games yet , but will do tommorow hopefully
I think that puts my "DYM bankroll" at £263
cost: 9 x (10+1) = 99
winnings = 6 x (10x2) = 120
net profit = 21 quid plus some points (about 18% roi)
I know you meant total sng roll though
started with £100 - down to £80 now
But anyway, won 8 of 9 tonight. so that's £61 profit
DYM BR: £324
-get it in with the best hand and take a beat
-shove to steal not expecting a call and being called and losing
-shove with a good hand like JJ and run into AA or KK
Like Lambert said post some examples so we can see stack sizes and hands played. DYMs reward you for a lack of mistakes rather than good play, but sometimes you can do everything right and lose anyway.
