openly bluffing early in DYM?
right this might look like a strage hand to post in the clinic. The reason im posting this is because i have a good record in DYM but want to get the communities opinion. this is the 2nd hand, I missed the first still loading up. i cruised my way to victory after this hand as everyone seemed to be very unsure about me. On a whole worth it?
im gona tell you i lost this hand to 66, any opinions on what you would do on the river and if this is worth doing in your opinion is appreciated

Sorry to be blunt but i think that is a terrible thing to do in a dym at that early stage.
Its an auto snap FOLD preflop.
I usually only bluff in dyms later on when the pots are worth winning because the blinds are big. And those bluffs are rebluffs and squeezes mainly when i think i have a good read on my opponants.
save the "dancing" for cash games imo.
A waste of 10 chips. Ok i know we are drawing to the nuts but how often do we flop a flush or a fd that we can keep cheap on the flop?
We are out of position. dump it. keep the discipline.
You might be right, it probably is too tight, but it works for me in dyms.
As already mentioned don't bother bluffing till the blind are worth stealing. Rember you aim is not to come first it's to not lose your chips.
Also, why am i excluded from answering your question. "has anyone noticed the gambling by players after the blinds hit 150?" I have an answer if you want to hear it.
In a dym you only have a limited amount of chips and time. every chip is precious.
Later on when the blinds are like 100 or 150, when you have seen how passive everyone is, you can make this play pre with any2 to take down the dead money. (as long as the stacks allow for this, i.e your raise doesnt commit either of u)
I like the way you have bet the hand though, and i would bet a similar way with all my premium pairs so you have represented a big hand well. But you dont know at this early stage if your opponant understands this!
DYM's are a simple game, there is no need to complicate them imo!
and yes, there is a lot of shoving in the latter stages. But, i consider what you have done in this hand (raising oop with junk against a random opponant and continuing to fire what are essentially bluffs) to be more of a gamble than the shoving part of a dym. because by preserving my chips for the latter stages i have more "power" to put pressure on the other stacks, and more chance to double my money!
if Sky did dym's with much longer blinds then i can see more of an argument for messing about early. I prob wouldnt though, i would rock up as per norm:)
