Is it really worth it as an aid to your game? Do you really think it makes much of a difference. I have an Excel spreadsheet to monitor all my results and am a bit of a whizz on Excel so could easily create any graph or table to display my results so really what am I missing, if anything?? I can't think of anything sharkscope could do that I couldnt on Excel. Posted by Lambert180
For me, the best thing it does is allow you to identify the comlpete fish, before even playing with them, eg when you move up to the £11 stage it could be usefull for you to avoid the regs and only play vs fish in your 1st few games.
I've heard people say things like that about DYMs but really, I struggle to see how you can really do much in terms of table selection in DYMs.
Like whenever I look in the lobby, there's only ever a maximum of like 2 games waiting to go and bythe time you get the tourney lobby up and have a mooch who is registered, you'll have probably missed it and it's running. So I dunno how people manage table selection with DYMs.

I did it for a £16.50 game today and it was the softest game i've played for a few days
I don't usually bother searching there names if the lobby already has 3/6 or more (unless for later on) But if it's 1 or 2 out of 6 registered you have loads of time to search there names as they join.
OK fair enough, but then you're only really gonna get info on the first 1-2 players, right? and not the others that join afterwards. So do you still get really soft games at £11+? If so, am very happy to hear it!
I aint willing to pay for sharkscope at the moment, but it did occur to me the other day when I was looking at the league table and I had it sorted in order by STT points because I wanted to see how I'm doing in the league... do you think it's fair to say that I should beware of anyone who is in say the top 30 STTers??

What I meant is after searching the 1st 2 if I really like what I see I'll join straight away and then search the others as they join, you still have a chance to deregister
Yeh, I havn't often played higher but you can get games at the same level of £5.50s and even £3.30s especailly on Fri/Saturday nights
Well most of them are profitable players so it is better to play against noobs but as long as your not in a game of 3 or more regs you should def be profitable
Cheers Fail, so you would say it's definitely a recommended weapon in your poker armoury then? And if so, what kinda price am I gonna be looking at? Posted by Lambert180
It's cheaper if you get a longer term, but for 1 month of 150 searches a day (The lowest ammount) is $15.99 or about £10, if you do try it out I would suggest waiting until you are about to move up to the £11s, as like I said before you'll give yourself the best possible chance if you avoid regs and play fish in your first few games
Yeah if I do get it I was definitely gonna hold off a bit until A) I've got some more games under my belt and know my win-rate isn't just good variance (although I'm pretty sure already that it's not) and I've playing at a higher level and making a very decent monthly income from them which would make paying £10 a month worthwhile. I guess if it's £10 a month, then to make it worthwhile, I would need to win 2 more DYMs per month with it than I would without it.

You've got a decent chunk of games now, I'd say you've cracked the £5.50s :P
Well whatever you decide GL, i'm gonna try and stay focused on DYMs for a while (well i'll play some tourneys but try and keep the BRs noted separately) deffo not playing cash for a while though.

I lost a game slipped back to 6th , then won 2 games back up to 5th .
By my calculations for every $5 profit it equals a 1 cent plus average , now that is tough going lol .
Hi Dennis. I think I have a winning streak of 31 dym's. Can u check if this is ok for comp ty? Posted by DEL560
Wow Excellent , Excellent , Excellent bud . Nice chating with you Del , i had a quick look through your games . All looks good from my side but SkyAdam obviously will need to confirm this . I will pass the info on to Adam asap . Congrats on this unbelievable achievement and great to see a skypoker player on top of the world dym board .

Streaks Double Or Nothing Wins In A Row (Updated: 30-Oct-11 08:30 PDT)
Just heard Orford mention this on the show tonight, congrats Del560 Noob question here, do I just need to keep playing DYM's on Sky Poker, just post my streak in here, and I get automatically entered?
Currently managed 5 in a row so far, so I doubt I'll get anywhere near 31, but I'm only playing DYM's for a while anyway so might as well have a go

What a feat. i am struggling to win 2 or 3 on the trot and used to think myself a good DYM player
Well done indeed - perhaps i,ll Pm you for some advice
Investment of 31 x 5.50 = £170.5
Winnings of 31 x 10.00 = £310.00
Profit = £139.50
That's a pretty nice ROI and pretty nice profit for only 31 games
