    I used to play the DYM's all the time but would get fed up and blow any winnings i had on RR's. Now i stick to the 2.20 DS's and only play the occasional DYM if i bust out early.

    Thanks gregg for being so honest, but I felt lucky, you got to play like this sometimes against regular grindmonkees(your terminology).

    i normally play some DYMs around the £5 mark like greg, after i play about 6 or 7 of these even though i am normally in profit i get very bored then jump on the cash tables and donk it off, so although DYMs are boring anti poker type things..if you are making money you should stay there....after all greg your never good enough to make any money from cash...or to put it another way, you would always have a full table very very quickly.

    Oi....mind numbingly boring, even more so than a tikay train story or a stien forum post...:)

    I agree greg you should move to cash you will be a welcome addition. Don't forget studying can make you worse, you need to think less about the game and trust your experience and instincts.

    The standard and ooober nits were out in force today. the random plonkers were obviously all having a day off at the same time.

    Also the really good regular grindmonkies were about and there was hardly any value anywhere. Ended up losing again.. sigh.

    It will be time to move to cash very soon. 100% certain of this. 4 more weeks or so and its bye bye DYMS forever! yay

    I would puke all over my hairy chest if I had to spend time grinding the 30p dym's. I'd rather someone scoop my eyeballs out with a rusty spoon.

    i have played a bit before at 10nl and did ok, have the roll for 20nl so i think i'm gonna have a bash 2 tabling that and if it goes badly then just go back to mtts and dyms.
    as for you greg, i'm sure a player of your standard will make a tidy profit, gl

    well i dropped down to £3.30 after getting crushed at the £5.50 and am making steady progress again. also ive sneaked into the top five of the sng league. it will be tough to stay there! but i really want to make top 4 so i get a decent stack in the April TSP final.

    Just as you're climbing up the table with your sights set on a top for 4 finish, spurs are going in the other direction.

    Sorry couldn't help myself.

    If you want any decent amount from cash for point you are better off playing at least 20nl as you get more than double the points of 4,8 and 10nl, but be aware you might lose that bonus in a few bad beats!!

    I would say start at 8nl  and see how you get on......................

    cheers for the advice, played an hour 2 tabling 10nl just now and came out in profit albeit only £3, i have played 10nl a few times before and feel comfortable there, i'm still playing a lot of mtts and dyms too so they will help boost my cash for points, i rarely get more than 2000 anyway so it's no big issue fo me really
    p.s soz for hijacking ur thread greg! i'm done now!

    All passive fish - Dagenham and Redbrige

    Come on now thats harsh comparing passive fish to Dagenham, Dagenham are going to survive........ gotta try and protect my local team as much as I can i think that will cover it...... can this not be changed to erm Grays Athletic

    ................................................................................................................................................................

    Good luck with your goal Gregg in trying to make TSP and making the change from DYM's to Cash

    I would love it if you finished 2nd in the league, and got AA all in pre flop in the tourny against the chip leader, who also has AA and got 4 flushed.

    Think I would literally wee myself.

    Yes, well, maybe you need to get some pampers in just in case.

    Im not sure they do giant size nappies tho tbh. If they did that would be the ideal solution for you imo. You can 6 table 30nl and drink loads of beer without having to stop to go to the toilet.

    P.S, nice to know i have your support!:) I look forward to you railing me in the final, waiting for the outdraw, so you can say "i told u so!"

    flashflush the money you have in your poker account is not the same thing as your bankroll.

    I don't think a 70BI bankroll is conservative, I have over 100BI's in mine - when you're not playing with a high percentage of your roll at any one time you aren't afraid to try new things which will benefit your game.

    It will take time to adjust playing 100bbs deep and getting into difficult spots that you never have to deal with in mtt's/stt's, but as long as you have good BR management, discuss some of your hands with other cash players after sessions, post on forums etc. there isn't a reason why you can't be successful at it.
