DYM Strat

tapeworm

Right well im done with cash for a while. My BR has dwindled down to £70.....yet again. So sick and tired of going up to £110/£130 to slide back down again to £70 after mostly being outdrawn by complete and utter pillocks. Its gotten so bad this month that im on tilt before I even sit down.

Right gripe over......where is that great guide I saw knocking around for DYMs? Gonna start playing them for a while to try and shake off this mood of mine and attempt to build a roll that way, but want to read up about them first.....cant find it even using the search. Anyone send me the link?

Cheers

if you are losing 50% of your roll on cash you must be playing at a higher level than br management allows?
if you have £120 then you should be playing 4-8nl at best....

eyeman had a great blog on dyms.......i think most players play tight waiting for the impatient ones to knock each other out and the start to play on the bubble(playing any top hands inbetween)

but then if you all play that strategy it comes down to who gets the cards...........(which is also ok imo)

That used to be the case Dave,  Unfortunately too many people know how to play these now.  Used to be getting to a 300 600 blind with 4 players left was pretty rare, now it seems to happen more often than not

yea thats what i mean about it coming down to who gets the cards....

unless god forbid people actually play poker in them

i think it is very hard to make money out of dym's in the long run ive won 6 or 7 in a row then lost a couple and by the time you take the rake off you are not that far ahead,

Tape forget dyms, theyre crapshoot and it ends up down to luck imo.

ur best bet is playing some hu, u double ur money and no one else can mess it up for u by playing like a goon. also 10min levels its a good structure, oh and bi fee is cheaper.

have 2 or 3 on the go at once, and if ur a decent enuff player ull be raking it in.

Thanks guys. Bad day when I posted this, probo not gonna try DYMs if the above is true.

Had a look back at some of my hands, and they are (Suprise suprise) not all outdraws...some are very tilty plays tbf (nice little example was me open raising with 5x KJs on the button, then three barreling MP K kicker into top pair......mug)......I have gotten in ahead a hell of alot only to be outdrawn in the last month and a half though.

It just gets me down, I follow the same old pattern of going up to £100 or so then back down to £70, then back up to £100......anoying as hell.....I would expect this kind of thing if I was LAG - but im not!!!

I also know im not getting nearly enough value from my winning hands on river bets, need to address that too.

Keep calm and carry on and wipe out those tilty donk plays I guess. its odd, I dont seem to tilt insantly, but slowly and gradually over a week or so until im almost on tilt before I sit down at a session.....bad times!

I guess I need to look at it from the perspective of at least im currently breaking even over time.....just need to tweak and play to turn a profit.

DOHHHHHHH

Dyms definitely aren't luck. lol...

Theres too much bad play in them to make that conclusion.

If you wanna beat them ofc you can................

I dunno what guide you're on about, or where it is.

i lol'd pretty gd reading a comment comin from sum1 who apparentlyused 2 crush dyms now sayin they are all dwn 2 luck!

there's a strategy 2 them same as any other format of poker, once u get ur head round it, u'll be able 2 make a nice steady profit

The problem with dyms is that many of the bad players understand the fundamentals. So you wait 30 mins no one gets knocked out, then its an all in fest and when you get it in good and suck out it feels like a waste of time. You also wont really know if your a winning player until youve played 1000 games.

HU sngs at turbo speed are similar in that you can get donked out in the odd game. But in 30 mins you can play 6 to 8 of them if you two table. If you are more of a purist you can play standard speed hu games, skill prevails in this game as there really is nowhere to hide for a weak player.

It really depends on how much time you are prepared to dedicate, you can get serious cash for points playing a lot of hu games.
