especially as you are the 1st to post! what level are you playing and how are you doing?
what u playing now ..cash?
guessing you must be doing ok to be playing those levels!
i myself have just moved up to the £3.30 level,so not quite in your league yet....lol
Question
If your playing bad players who call AIPR wide in DYM, is this good for your BR ?
If you get your chips across the line as minimum 60/40 favorites all the time, we should win long-term right?
Answers on a postcard
Keep the faith
Look through your hand histories, what’s the percentage of getting it in ahead, 55% > is good !
Doing ok on DYMs in reasonable profit and play 11, 16.50 and a few 22s once i have had a few beers.
Normally play 3 tables at a time for about 2 hours each evening when the wife is watchin the soaps.
alway,s especially interesting to hear what you rancid & Dudeskin8 have to say.
re your question rancid regarding "why are DYM low varience?"
"surely the bubble nature make them high varience-discuss"
in my opinion, the reason you could make an argument for dym,s being low varience is,
the % you are risking in relation to your b/roll for each dym you play is so very small
eg;if you are playing say a £3.30 dym and your b/roll is a fairly modest £100
and you lose,you have lost just 3.3% of your roll.
and obviously the higher your b/roll the more that % drops.
eg;£200 b/roll becomes just 2% and £300 becomes 1%
as my b/roll is just under £300 at the moment i can comfortly play the £3.30 level and
although painfull as it alway,s is when you lose,it,s not going to keep me awake at night!
that ,s why in my opinion 22 buy-ins just isn,t enough for any level
i would want at least 50 per table,ideally 100 per table!
but thats just me,i,m a nit.
you load up 1 cash table 4nl....4% of your roll.
you get AA first hand...they get beaten by a worse hand.
you are on £96.
you re-load.with in a minute of playing you are already chasing....agreed?
or....
you load up either a £3.30 or preferably £2.25dym
either 3.3% or 2.2% of your roll,
the same happens,you are only £3.30 OR £2.25 down!
of course you could just load up £3.30 or £2,25on 4nl table
but the so called better players don,t do that...do they?
another thing,during a cash session,how many times during that session are you flipping for let,s say
50% of your stack or more?
let,s just very conservativly say 4 times(i know from playing it,s alot higher than that)
so averages say you win 2 lose 2...correct?
so you win the 1st flip, you are on £5.80 lets say,
all in with KK...AK calls...you,re not even flipping
what are you about 70%...great!!!!
oh no,he,s hit his ace...he,s all-in with let,s say £2.70
you,ve done nothing wrong.,..and you are on £3.10....90p down!
oh and then there,s the rake,i haven,t even got sterted on that!
think i,ll leave that 4 now
all in all rancid,i think it all comes down to how we all see it,and as we are all different,
we will mostly all see it differently.the only thing that you really can,t argue with are the stats.
i think that dym,s are lower varience than cash because you know the exact amount you are staking on each game and on each hand.
in cash the amounts involved at risk are always changing,therefor you are playing at a higher varience level.
i am sure my explanation is not perphaps technically correct,know doubt someone else will possibly
enlighten us/me.
anyway,got to go tea is just about ready.
then it,s....load up and start again
see you soon
i honestly dont know where to start disecting your logic in this post,
that,s why i started this blog this morning
let,s here what you,ve got to say
i,ve simply given my opinion nothing more!
They are like Marmite
I like Marmite alot, but i despise DYMs.
The only difference is that I still play DYMS, but if i disliked Marmite I wouldnt eat Marmite Sandwiches (unless it made me money)
funny that , i hate marmite
loving dym,s at the moment
,aint it great how we,re all different...lol
Hope this will help. I started playing on line in May and discovered this system by accident. Further research "on-going".
This morning I`m minding the family business showroom. Well, we ain`t exactly Tesco`s when it comes to footfall, so I have fired up the trusty laptop and entered a 50p dym. Right on cue, before the first hand is even dealt, in come Mr and Mrs Pain in the **** with their delightful spawn/offspring. 40mins later off they go and I dive to laptop. Game Over and I have doubled my money! Obvious new system, enter everything, shut the shop, take the wife out for the day. Result, loads of gratitude and life enhancing privileges from said wife plus stacks of cash. Ditch wife, leave laptop running on repeat basis and head for the South Sea Islands in search of Dusky Maidens. (Very sexist but "whatever"). Come to think of it, the way I play this probably is the only way for me to win. Good Night and Good Luck
Why is it that so many players love DYM's but not HU??
2. you talk about monetery value (£100) where playing a £3.30 dym is less then sitting with max at nl4 and is using less from this mythical bankroll. i fail to see what point you are trying to make here about varience other than your paying less to play a diff variety of game. for arguement sake should it not be buyins to make all things equal
3. you talk about flips.it cant be compared because of the stack of blinds you have in front of you. your stack is dwindling all the time relative to the blinds where cash is no rise so flips dont have to occur with players being deeper. you can win a flip early in a dym for stacks but you arent gtd to still cash. your are a good part of the way there. should we take a flip n win in cash we are allowed to stand and bank the profit there n then. sometimes you are forced to take the flip in dym because the situation dictates because you are playing so few blinds.
4. your cash example. i have no clue what you are trying to demonstrate here other than its losing 90p
im sure theres other parts that i dont agree with but thats what i can remember just now.
everyones entilted to an opinion, would be a boring place if we all thought the same.
Variance is the element of poker you can't control, once we get our money or chips over the line.
All we can do if get it in ahead.
In effect MTT force your hand so you have to play therefore higher variance imo
While in cash nothing is forced on you so lower variance
So some formats imo increase the possibility of higher variance than other formats
Bringing me round to DYM, you can't sit around - bubble time will come - your hand will be forced becuse of raising blinds
For this reason I think DYM are high variance !
But I stand corrected if someone would like to set me straight ?
However get wicked headaches from the constant bubble tension. Anyone else get that?
so i won,t!
anyway,all i,ll say is we all have our own views on different things
which is great,because if we all had the same,we wouldn,t be talking to each other,
i guess!
on to tonight,
tough session,down early on but managed to grind out a 23-13 win
won £16.50
b/roll £314.72
just about been playing dym,s 4 a month now
started on nov 14th
up £103.79
hoooray
nite all
i do know what you mean buddy
for me i think that it,s more to do with the concentration level
i do come off the tables quite drained
and i too feel my head pounding 4 a little while
but thankfully it soon passes
don,t know if there is an awful lot you can do about it,
how long are you playing each session?
you could try shortening them
see if that helps.maybe
I try to use them as satellites. Rather than use the money as perceived profit. So a stand alone dym win becomes a MTT BI or discount for a larger T entry. It seems easier than going through standard sats.
When it works.......
do you genarally suffer with headaches then or is it simply after playing poker?
just as a matter of interest,what site r u playing these on?
keep posting buddy,always here if u fancy a chat
