    Nice stats Timmy, looks like you had a great month.

    Always knew your DYM stats would be decent, also nice to see your MTT stats almost as good as with DYM's.

    Reckon over the next month or 2 you're going to post a big main event win.

    Good luck

    Hi Timmy

    Good to have a chat last night. 

    If you get fed up grinding, professional railer seems the obvious way to go.

    You won more than me last night, the mega is great fun and gets some good players
    in it Jawz in my humble opion is one of the top 5 mtt players on the site.

    Guy called knee isn't bad either, be a pleasure to play against you if you ever fancy
    adding it to an mtt session it plays on Monday Wednesday and Friday 8.30pm.

    Great dairy, hope to bump into you soon final table i hope.

    Run well.

    Hi all
    as you can see 2 really nice days then 2 horrible days. Had a really bad start to the month on sky Dym's losing - £517. Tourneys Friday came 3rd In the UKOPS mini and Saturday coming 7th in the Las vegas freeroll for + £250 Sunday and Monday no success. On Party I wanted another site I can grind some Dym's on the side a little but Sky will still be my main site for them had a really good start but then struggled last 2 nites im gonna try it all month then reassess at the end of month. Stars only played a few Big $5-$11 but no success im saving all the run good for SCOOP IN May lol. So after my 2 big losing days Im just gonna grind Dym's 2day Wed Thu and Friday then I think me and Kgee are going to play the UKIPT mini at DTD Saturday.

    Hi TRR.
    I have been reading your thread and it's really good.
    I have been dipping my toe in the water on the DYM tables and am considering playing 200 games and assessing my progress, I will drop stakes during the 200 if I lose too much though.
    I will be happy to achieve a 55% winrate, break even (plus whatever bonus this earns) and consider it time well spent trying to improve.
    Do you record your winrate? and if so what is it and over what sample size? Obviously if that's something you would rather not divuldge, that is fine.
    Either way i'm enjoying your thread and keep up the good work.

    Hi all
    hope you all had a good weekend ? So Dym's managed to grind abit of profit back and still confident I will end month in profit on them. Hmm not sure if Party is really working for me but still gonna give it till the end of month. Saturday me and my mate KGEE who I stake online went down to DTD to play in the UKIPT mini I managed to SAT in mid week so not a lot of pressure on the tourney which is always nice the buy in was £120. So me and kgee was actually drawn on the same table bad times I hate that but luckily we didn't have to many hands run into each other. Sadly I never got anything going then when our table broke my new table UTG +2 opened I shove my last 15 bigs with AQ then a 20 ish bigs stack reshoved and then the opener folded the re shover had JJ Flop J GAME OVER Q on turn to rub it in kgee sadly got knocked out not long after. I played 1-1 cash for bout 2-3 hours had Paul Zimbler on my table and a couple of over regs but managed to grind a £87 profit. Last nite was my cousin's  leaving due for Australia so we had a big family meal to say goodbye. Had a couple of beers so was abit tipsy sadly missed the late reg for the Roller but I played £55 MBI took 3 heads to make a small profit and also played £22 BH no joy in that. I was abit naughty and played 1 table 100nl cash as there was no Dyms running made + £55 in bout 1 hour then left. I played the SAT on Party for the UKIPT MAIN but didn't make it will try 1 more 2nite.

    Hi Timmy, just started reading diary's on the forum and really enjoying yours. im relatively new to sky, started playing last autumn, but soon had you down as a very good player. when I first started I tried a bit of all formats to see what worked for me, after a few months went through sharkscope filters to see where I was doing well and where I wasn't, for me mtts are where I was making money so mainly stick to them. strangely the only dyms I was making money with was the £22, sure mrsduck would have something to say about that!! im sure its just a coincidence as I have never really put in the volume for the stats to really mean anything, tbh I only ever play them now when no decent mtts on or haven't got time for an mtt but I have to say after reading your diary feel inspired to give it a proper bash.

    really hope you manage all your targets and can grind a living out of doing something you clearly enjoy and are very good at, im sure with your level headed and disciplined approach you will achieve all you wish for, a big bink surely on the horizon.

    Best of luck for the rest of the year, and many happy returns, enjoy your day,

    Regards James

    Hi all thank you for the Birthday messages really appreciate it. Had a nice all dayer with the lads Tuesday and then had a nice family day and meal at nite on the Wednesday. Thursday nite we had a charity poker/Casino nite for my poker friend who's daughter sadly has cancer we got
     a really good turn out and raised about £600-£700. Poker for me ouch very tough week losing - £1140 3 losing days on Dyms no results in online tourneys did manage to SAT in UKIPT MAIN for $300 on party. So Friday I went to play my 1st UKIPT event really enjoyed it felt I played ok didn't feel out my depth had Max Silver and John Eames on my table which was pretty cool and Carl Froch was on the table next door. Was up to round 30k at level 6 and took on a aggressive swede with Ak we got all the money in pre he had QQ but we sadly lost the race after flopping the K he turned the straight put me down to 7k we played 10 levels couldn't get anything going and MADE day2 with 11k with blinds at 800/1600. So turned up day2 KQ UTG 9 handed 3 players missing due to being late the button re shoves with KK GG me. I played cash 2 nites while I was there winning on Friday and then losing on Saturday. So my monthly stats are very poor this month since turning to DYMS ive had 7 + months so weve got 11 days to grind hard and play very well to turn this around Good luck me.
