Anyone know why it says NA for my Ability/100 on SS? Am I that bad it's not even applicable? lol
Another good session for me
Played 159
Won 92
Profit/Loss +£46.30
Win Rate 57.86%
Still on the up, things are going well still, and finally starting to turn a pretty decent profit, my BR is now £199.38 so should be comfortably rolled for £11 DYMs before the end of the month. I'll keep you posted...
Poker Points = 734
Also, I now have 623 league points which puts me 86th in the STT league so I'm moving up slowly.

I'll try and get a few games in tonight but I've been quite busy so far.
Another very short session, it's really annoying me now that I'm not finding the time to play more. Have to get some proper volume in soon. I wanna reach the 200 games mark within the next 3 sessions. Tonight I played 6 and won 3, so its...
Played 165
Won 95
Profit/Loss +£43.30
Win Rate 57.58%
Few quid down tonight thanks to rake but I'm still happy with my game.
Poker Points = 764. Need to get a real move on to meet my volume/C4p target. I need to get to about 600 games by the end of the month to make it, but I'm sure I can do it if I get a few good days in.
Paul
Managed to get a bigger session in tonight than normal, played 13, won 8 so not too shabby, slowly building it up. The stats are now...
Played 178
Won 103
Profit/Loss +£51.80
Win Rate 57.87%
Profit's coming along nicely, got my BR up to £204 now. What do you guys think of my win rate so far, I know people say 60% is really good, do you think mine is going good so far and what do you think of the sample size, is it far too early to tell you?? Is 60% the best I can reasonably expect if I'm good or do you think 60% is minimum if you're a good player?
Poker Points = 829
And people said I couldnt make much from this!! If I'd have started with my £150 BR on cash, I'd only be rolled for 4NL and would take at least the same amount of time it's took me to win £51.80 and with higher risk and much less C4P.
So a enjoyable hobby that rewards you with lots of fun & a bit of cash ,
how bad lol .
What should a good player (I class myself as good) aim to have as their win rate? Should I be happy with anything thats 55% + really because it's profit or do I wanna be aiming around 60% mark or what?
There are many players better than me so 65% is definitely achievable.
But anything over 55% and you should be happy as you are still relatively new to DYMs and a profit's a profit.
Keep it up
By the way at the 5.50s every 1% extra you put on your win rate is an extra 10p profit per game. There you go, even more incentive for you to increase it :P
Well that's good, yeah I'm definitely happy to be in profit at the moment, and it's a fairly decent profit really for not that much work and I think my DYM game has improved alot since I first took up this challenge so I think the only way is up.
Yeah don't worry though, I know what you mean, I'm not perfect but I like to think I'm alot better than The_Don when it comes to tilt etc lol. I've already had one bit of run bad since I've started where I was about £30 down (from my starting £150) and I just couldnt win a single race. I kept playing really well, getting to final 4, chip leader or bare minimum not last and losing races like AK v AJ and stuff, so that was quite painful, but while the losses can accumulate pretty fast, so can the wins, so I've turned that £30 down into a £50 up in the space of a week with fairly little volume.
Either way, I'm prepared for the beast that is variance, although I was always under the impression that DYMs (if played correctly) are about as low variance as you can get... ?
LOL no, no-one has ever said I look like Michael Mcintyre... where have you seen my pic if you dont mind me asking?
Paul
Yeah I definitely know what you mean about a losing session, dunno if you paid attention to this near the start, I was doing quite well, making small profits, then I had one bad session lost about 7 out of 10 and was suddenly down like £30 and it was sickening how I could lose so much money in such a short space of time. But as I said in my other post... I've managed an £80 turn around in a short space of time to get back to £50 profit. If I get decent length sessions in, then it's not a big surprise to be up £10-£15 per night which I'm happy with, and that will double (as will my C4P) when I move to £11 DYMs.
Dunno, if you read earlier posts, but my aim is to just absolutely batter DYMs for 3 months straight, get into the top 30 STTers for this quarter and get into TSP, so wish me luck. Getting into the top 30 should be easy, it's just finishing top 6 in that MTT that'll be a bit tougher lol.
Yeah I'm aware of the pitfalls, but every format has them.
EDIT: What's a big enough sample size for me to start saying, ok yeah that is my true win-rate long term? 1000 games?
Managed to get another slightly bigger than normal session in tonight. Played 17 games, sadly only won 9 of them, so a couple of quid down, but not too bad really. Only need to play 5 tomorrow to meet my target of wanting to get to 200 games by Thursday, although no doubt I'll play alot more than 5.
Played 195
Won 112
Profit/Loss +£48.30
Win Rate 57.44%
Poker Points = 914
Best of luck for the rest of the week
Well I'm happy to say, I well and truly smashed it tonight. Played 11 and won 9, so my BR is now £230.88. I'm on fire recently, just gotta keep it up. Have a really fun game as my last one as well, sat with quite a few regs, good bit of banter at the table. So the stats are now...
Played 206
Won 121
Profit/Loss +£77.80
Win Rate 58.74%
Poker Points = 969
Bankroll is coming along nicely and I'm pretty much at 1000 points to earn another £15. I'll get my win-rate to 60% soon, that's my aim. I'm gonna wait til the end of the month before moving to £11 games, even if I reach the correct BR for it, just so it's a bit more comfortable when I do move up.
Paul
Really enjoyed that game myself, personally speaking I found you to be quite tight so took your raises/all ins quite seriously. I had played about 5 DYMS tonight before that one and found you one of the better players.
I searched the aliases of a £55 DYM lobby, 2 of them had lost an average of over £20 PER GAME. 2 of the others had about £4 loss per game... and then there was nutter... but I thought it was worth a shot.
However, I only had £71 in my bankroll, then I remembered JC's BRM guideline "Personally, I think that 1.3 buy-ins is enough for any player who wants to steadily build a bankroll playing only 1 or 2 tables"
So I hopped into that game and a weak looking £5.50, well anyway won them both so very happy with my 55 poker points and 17 league points
Oh and the cash is nice too!
GL at the tables
But in all seriousness that game was scary when it came down to the bubble, shoving K9 from the button when you have a slightly below average stack and high blinds is a standard play but terrifying at that stake!
