    i know you are supposed to bet out but it was a dym and the table was sooooo tight they were folding to anything!!!

    would you still bet out in that spot?????

    being a dym is it worth building pots with these hands rather than getting cheap look at flop???

    i was just hoping someone caught a piece of it.......

    limping to hit a set, is to get in cheap and win lots of 'money', in a dym you just want to stay in and cash so winning chips is of no consequence we just want to be focused on not losing them so limping frequently with speculative hands is a bad play over the long term.


    betting when you have the quads is always worth it, build the pot!


    The aces hand you raise way too much preflop, especially considering your stack size.

    yeah i knew after each hand i played them bad!!!

    playing too much i think and not getting decisions right.......

    i did cash though so not all bad.........

    this thread is just me with too much time on my hands lol.

    but being serious for a minute how much would you raise with aces there??

    i do seem to  raise too much with them as i fear getting crushed by odd hands.....

    Sorry Beaneh but disagree about not limping in with 44. Winning chips is definately important... with most people in DYMs now just playing very tight you're not going to double your money by folding. Eventually the blinds will catch up with you and you'll have to start making moves. For just 150 chips and the chance of flopping a set and potentially getting paid I don't see why not.

    You don't even have to hit your set - if everyone is playing that tight you can put a bet in on dry flops and take it down most of the time. And one small bet is going to risk your tourney life :)

    Playing loose in dyms is not a good idea unless you have a table full of amoebas, it's just a contest of who can fold the most.

    i will limp in dyms up to about level 5 then raise/fold

    by seing a few cheap flops early i managed to win a few uncontested pots easily and get up to 3000 chips.

    if it was a real aggresive table ie cash i would of folded but dyms are a differant beast arn't they??

    this doesnt mean i wont raise but may limp with small pairs etc......

    level 5 is only up to blinds of 75/150 i think???

    cheers for the other advice though :)
