ok...making the move..no more chickening out!
Right after dithering around like a chicken in heels I am finally gonna make the move from dym's to 100% cash tomorrow!!!! (bite nails!)
Back to 2/4p, learn how to play nice and calm (omg..i actually laughed when I typed that!) and fingers crossed my aim is to break even for 1st month minimum and hopefully be up £5 a day once im settled
)
I'm gonna put in some proper hours instead of messing around between cash and dyms so I can really learn the game)
ps, thanks Dohhhhhhh and Blackfish3 (and hubby, hehe) for the advice x

Well the cash thing is totally different and i'm trying to learn the basics really, yesterday I was all "ooooh I'm gonna win a big pot!" and managed to get the guy all in then realised he had a royal flush!!! Had to laugh though and nice for the lad cos it's so hard to get paid when you hit those massive hands..lucky I was there to help! lol
Today I thought..right time to knuckle down..notice where i'm loosing money etc...so I'm playing dead carefully and then I hit my hand, so now it's time to learn pot control and how to get value without scaring the guy off. I finally manage to get the money in with my hand and feeling dead pleased with my wonderfully controlled play to realise at the end I was behind even before the flop!!!! hahahahaha
Oh well you have to loose to learn where your going wrong don't you!
Thanks for the well wishes and let me know when you win that ticket!!
will look out for you!
You notice where you are losing.
You have to lose to learn.
The t-shirt I am wearing is quite loose.
Hope this makes sense.
I'll try to be gentle ....... honest!
totaly crazy but I am determined to get there in the end! lol
Good luck...CYMRU AM BYTH! lol
And remember keep posting hands that you think you might have been able to play better....its the best way to learn!!
Thanks Logdon
I am bankrolled for higher level but my play is not ready for higher level! lol
In Response to Re: ok...making the move..no more chickening out!:
Your best bet is to make notes on the players. Has taken me a while to find my feet but found the notes I made attached to the players on screen invaluable - especially if they say "allin merchant" or "always sees flop"!!Still I know what you mean. Doesn't work with aces sometimes! Had a crazy one today. I had aces and raised 5bb. Got called (by QJ suited-OK). Allin went K8 off and also A10. I call as does QJ. Get ace high flop (with J) - go all in and QJ calls. Win hand and so suddenly its a heads up table!! Why they went all in pre I've no idea.
Once the notes are made you can then pick your table better.
CYMRU AM BYTH!
Good luck bannadog and hope to see you there.
It's so hard to make my mind up as I seem to play so unconfidently on cash compared to doubles and can see why you also get stuck with it Don :S
Thanks for the well wishes Don and even if I go back onto dyms in day I will probably still pop onto cash in the evenings.
ps...had to laugh when Dohh said "well are you gonna play PROPER poker or WIMPY poker!"...what can I say...I'm a wimp!!!
ps Don I agree with the multi tabling..I think when your on one table and youve been sat there for ages, the minute you get a hand it's hard to let it go even when you think you may well be outdrawn....the thought of how long will it take to get another good hand kills me sometimes!
if you lose a bit go back and cash in a few dyms then go back to cash.
thats what i have been doing while trying to learn at cash.
I started playing 4p/8p, won a couple of hands, thought I was great so moved straight up to 25p/50p. I then proceeded to donk off my whole BR playing like an idiot, had to reload and made my way back shamefully to the DYM's. When I next began playing cash I started grinding properly from the lowest stakes.
For the first couple of weeks just be happy to break even if possible, it can take a while until you're fully confident playing cash. But trust me stick with it....its so much more fun (and profitable in the long run)!!!
I won a few hands was up 400 BB and thought "why am i grinding at this level" jumped straight to 10/20p and boom i had £4 left. I watched myself repeat that process around 6 times before i finally busted. I also know Bananadog was struggling with the lower levels but unlike me she is clever enough to state "I WILL STAY HERE BECAUSE IM NOT READY TO STEP UP" so i admit she has more sence than me.
I met bananadog on a few tables while i was playing cash and have to admit, i found it alot easier with her at the table, i think we chatted abit away from poker aswell as a little of poker and it helped me settle a little more. I was doing really well at nights with Oynutter on the table, we disucessed a few hands and he often said why did you play that like that which helped too. But i just struggle so much at that 2/4p level but having said that ive learnt alot from it and i now watch each player idividually.
