    In Response to Re: PLO8 DYM Competition MKII:
    Note to self - when planning to run good in a comp that you really love - play the game as you normally play it and with the people you think you have some sort of handle on...... So what do I do - I check out last years winner and decide to follow suit and raid the 60p and £1.15 tables - only to be met by SIX people playing erratically and unpredictably!!!!! result lose 4 out of the first 5. Finally come to my senses and return to the haven of £3.30 tables in order to be the only erratic and unpredictable player on the table - thankfully now back to 6 wins out of 12!! Possibly a bit too late to storm up the table on this occasion but next time this wonderful comp is run I will be myself - whoever that is!!!

    Hi mate, I find that it is a totally different game at the lower levels, and it definitely takes a different skillset to play at those levels.

    You would think that with looser players, these microstakes tables should be easy, but this is far from the case.  Indeed, most of my losses in this competition were at the 60p level.  It does open your eyes up however to the fact that any 4 cards can, and often do, win. There are some very good players at the lower levels, and some good banter too, but there are some very loose players indeed.

    I find that the £3.30 and above games, which are populated by the better players, have a different feel to them.  Players less frequently make mistakes, know when to bet and employ better bet sizing, plus they know how to play their  spots.

    I don't know if my game is good enough to constantly play at the higher levels, maybe one day I'll commit to trying 100 games at £.30 and see how I fare.

    Good luck with the rest of your games.

    Being a bankroll nit, I've never tried to play at one of the higher levels for a sustained number of games.  I reckon I make more mistakes than a lot of the regulars, but I am willing to give 100 games a go this month and see how it goes.

    Another day, another loss.

    Only 1/5 again

    Total  W9  L9

    I am officially average.

    It doesn't help when you lose every hand you play against Tikay.

    I need to improve urgently.

    Been away from the tables most of the week (something called work), so first session in the comp.

    Played 15 won 10 I think. Some very interesting games, lots of food talk and not a single mention of concrete.

    A good evening.

    Above figures might be wrong, BR was only up a little and although i lost a small MTT and a 6 max I may be slightly out with the win/losses. I'm sure someone will correct if its serious!

       Finished with 5/6 for a final total of 18/25.  to tie with Blakey aka 67boys.  These have all been at £3 and £5 except 1

       @ 60p.  Not a clue how many of each as I don't keep any records so if 1 of the SS wizards could check for me I would

       be most grateful.  I think my best win streak is .

       Enjoyed it immensely, might do it again just for the lolz and also to give me a bit of discipline in keeping track of results.

    Crikey - 72% - that's excellent Pommy, & thoroughly deserved. You were a proper pain to play last night.

    I'll have a look at your SS & try to answer your questions.

    Here you go Pommy.

    £5, P 16, W11

    £3 P 8, W6

    Played 25, W 18.

    Longest winning streak was 6.

    Stunning results, as were 67Bhoys.

    Confirmed, & I ignored the solo 6 Max you played.

    I make it....

    £3, P6, W4

    £5, P6, W5

    £11, P3, W1

    Total, P15, W10

    Think you need to win 9 of your last 10 to beat Pommy & 67Bhoys, or 8 to tie with them.

    I make it 6, Craig.

    Note though that SS list them in order of the time they FINISH, whereas you may list them in order of the time they commence. If you play more than one at a time that can produce conflicting answers.

    Yeah, I knew it was about 6 or 7, but I'm happy with 6, leaves me tied with my good friend Bill. Not a ciggie paper between us.

    Thanks TK for being Mr Sharkscope.
    I've just had a lovely five mile walk this morning, took a train to Dalton, then walked home. Perfect.

    Whilst Peabrain watches the kickball with Bert and Ernie this afternoon, I'm gonna watch the Steptoe and Son films, tinker in the kitchen, prepare them a dinner and play some poker. So, if anyone sees me at a table and wants their name in lights due to a winstreak, or if anyone finishes and wants to let me know, fire away.
    GL.

        Thanks very much for this Teeks.  If no one beats 18 will there be 2 entries awarded?

    It's obviously not over yet pommy, so anything could happen, but TK said he'd arrange a prize and I asked for only one, so as to keep any moans from outsiders at bay and to ensure the fun element remained for us.
    I should maybe have thought of two tiebreakers, but I wanted to keep this simple.
    I'm sure if you both still lead the table at the end, you can both come up with something to decide the ultimate winner?
    Maybe a minimum buy-in HU game or something similar?
