RLT's £5.50 DYM challange

edited March 2016 in Poker Chat
In Response to RLT's £5.50 DYM challange:
As some of you are aware I've recently been taking part in a £3.30 DYM challenge against stuarty117, spinky6108, BBmike and a few other dym regulars at that level. now that i've completed that challenge (well nearly will be done in the next hour or so). i'm going to be starting the exact same challenge at the £5.50 level. for those of you that don't know the challenge is to grind out 1000 games at that level and the person with the most wins, wins. Alot of people have said this challenge has increased their focus and has also increased their volume of play, while others have simply found it interesting to see where they are at compared to the other players in the challenge. unlike last time im going to set a start date so everyone starts on the same day (making it easier for me to track) I will be starting on 14/8/2015 so if any of you feel like joining in just leave me a message on here, or pop into any of the games im playing and just let me know, the only conditions for joining is that your sharkscope is viewable otherwise i have no way of tracking you. ive got no intention of doing this with a side bet or anything purely just for the fun and banter :) the players in so far are: RLT16 spinky6108 snuffer GL all

And some have said 'I didn't quite realise how many games 1,000 was, wish I'd never started it's a right old grind'. :)

If I wasn't such a fan of Magnus Magnusson I'd have jacked it in by now. But I will complete it, and it might just start to get a little easier if you all move on to 5.50.

I'll not be ready to start when you do so instead if you do well here and feel sufficiently rolled to take a shot at 11 I'll happily see you there. GL with it.

    I'll jump in a few of these Lee, but it will likely take me until next Christmas to get 1000 played

    It's finally regiistered why Chelsea players are such big tarts always throwing themselves to the ground; that physio!

    I think I'd have a never ending groin problem if I was in their starting XI.

    brilliant. GL everyone involved :) will set up the table at some point over the weekend and add it to the original post.

    I started off with a small session of 10 games, finishing with 8 wins. decent start :)
  • edited August 2015
    Is it too late to back out?

    hffty - I have only seen you play 1 dym and while I am no expert myself, I hope our early stage levelling war was just a bit of fun between us and not how you intend to play these?

    dyms not my bag unless 4 cards are in front of me, and 1000 is way too much volume to commit to. So for those reaons I'm out, but I wiah you every success.

    It was last weekend during the double points promo.

    About 4 raises pre and 3 post on a 2diamond raggy board. You said in chat before you folded, "do you not believe me" I said "well I dont expect you to be a total nit".

    Sorry Jac, Needle in a haystack in my hh. The only time I put in real voluuuume otherwise it would be easy to find.

    PS doodoodooodo David Nuuugeeeennnnttt

    PNE legend - glad he wasnt playing for boro last week. Think he has a habit of doing ok in debuts. 

    edit:This post might have more relevance if boro were playing Derby not Bolton
