    i would of done exactly the same mate no point gambling at this stage with your stack nice fold doesn't matter what the result TOP FOLD mate

    Your initial reraise should be bigger as it prices people in, but after an all in then call you simply have to fold as it is highly likely one of them has AA/KK, and at best you're against one AK but you don't need to race this early.

    Insta Fold.

    Doesn't matter if it's for 60p, you''l lose more money calling in this spot than folding over time, that's for sure.

    60p snap call

    You have to play 60p the same as £6, £60 or £600 its either a good fold or bad!

    I agree in principle but you have to remember the standard is pooooooooooooooor so there is a much higher chance you being ahead in a 60p DYM than a £6, £60 or £600!

    i would of folded but note both the players names down somewhere, if an ace had come on flop turn or river ur game is over, let them knock eachother out and wait  for your next hand

    LOL didn't mean "call coz it's only 60p".......He means u play differently at different levels and at the 60p DYM level, calling with QQ here is good, whereas at £110 dyms, its an easy fold.

    Reflection of the players rather than the buy in

    i disagree i think there is a way to play poker whether its for 60p or for £6000 you should play the same way and with a re-re raise all in and a call before me you can't call with QQ or you shouldn't IMO

    Yeh ur not getting my point.....

    The money is irrelevant, the standard/tendencies of the players you are playing against is what is important...

    In 60p dyms, people stack off on the first level with alot weaker than QQ.

    In £110 dyms, if someone goes in on the first level, 99% of the time, they have KK/AA.

    Therefore, making the call at 60p is better than at £110, as you can adapt to your opponents shoving range......

    The money is irrelevant. If you are playing the same way no matter what level u are playing at, you will looooooooooooose

    Im with DoHHHHH and Beaneh here. At £3+ i lay it down, as the origional poster does, any level below that i snap call on the basis of thr players will shove with less, as anove shown with A10 and JK/

    Yes i do get your point doh but what i am saying is that with a re re raise all in AND a call surely our QQ is not good in MOST spots here no matter what money or what opponents

    dohhhh i get your point and i get both your points however this is just a question to dohhh really for my benefit! Would you put one on Ace King on this table and if so would you still call??
  • edited September 2010

    I hate double your moneys........

    The only time I play them is if I've logged on maybe an hour before a tourny im registered in or something, and wanna try and win my buy in, so £11/22 dyms.... Playing a cash game knowing Im only gonna be there for an hour would tilt me and lose me pennies.....

    So when I play these dyms, I pretty much go in without any knowledge of strategy/theory......so me trying to answer ur question wud be pretty useless....

    If I know he's got AK do I call? - no....spose not, as I might as well go have a tenner on roulette RED and save on rake....But then again if u have 6 players who are "good", dyms to me are just a flip anyway, as everyone plays the same, so why not flip early and save time?

    Moral of the post, DYM's are the devil!!! Can't believe they're so popular.
  • edited September 2010

    In a DYM, this is a snap fold regardless of the "quality of players" you're up against.

    This is because it is massively -ev to play for your stack on the 1st level - and with the two all-ins before you, it really is a no-brainer fold.

    I would be amazed if any of the top DYM players on this site (Nutter5932, Goodylad, Phil12uk etc) would advise you to call in this spot.

    AJS is right though in saying only play £3+ DYM's because the entry fees are way too high on the ones below that.
