Low Limit DYM Help?
hiya been trying the 1.15 Dym's today and have to say i have been diabolical lol.
Just wondered if anyone could give me a few tips for these, im trying the orford bankroll challenge and thought these would be a good way to slowly grind up for the time being.
I use to play these succesfully awhile ago but havn't played them in ages got bored of them and cant seem to get to grips with them again , lost 5 in a row today, luckily some cash games have boosted the bankroll abit. but want to crack the DYM again.
Any tips would be great cheers

Then when the blinds hit the 4th level + just try and steal the blinds in position when ever you can, especially as people will all tighten up.
Drop to 10BBs and go shove crazy when spots present themselves such as being on the button or in the SB.
Try not to get all in early on without like the nuts.
Dont donk.
So far doing this I've built up enough to go onto £2.25 level. You'll need a lot of determination playing this way cus it can be quite boring at first, but once you start getting the results you wont even think about it.
Good luck with ya month mate, hope it goes well.
only thing I'd add is - with DYMs if you find yourself in a bad run of results, drop a level and do your losing there, then when u start hitting cards again move back up. Lose at the lower level, win at the higher, it works 4 me.
I know this isn't quite for the stakes that you are playing but I think that there are some good tips here that have helped me get off to a good start in my personal bankroll challenge.

Hope ur luck improves.

I've got another thought for you. Is the DYM route the best way to up your bankroll?
Since the start of the year I've kept a database of all my results:
DYM £1.15 Played 128 Won 82 64% win rate - profit £14.80
DYM £2.25 Played 713 Won 401 56% win rate - profit £2.00
The problem is that you have to win substantially more than 50% to show a profit because of the rake and the rake percentage is higher 15% & 12.5% respectively on the low level DYMs, get a little higher up the tree and its 10%, but then you still need to be winning 55% to break even.
DYMs are a great way of passing time without losing too much money, and also good for getting the feel of how to play around final tables when things are tight. I make most of my bankroll increase from small MTTs and Bonus.
I leave that for you to ponder. Hope things are picking up in your challenge.
regards

since ive started playing cash rather than dyms ive found it alot easier to make a profit but at the same time you can lose more if you are running bad! (does that make sense??
