Another day where I played a lot of DYMs, but finished almost break even again. I felt I played a bit worse than yesterday, but there's a couple of things which I've noticed and I'll try to adjust tomorrow, and see how it goes. Although I'll end up with a decent amount of money in C4P at the end of the month, I'd also like to be making some money from actually beating the games as well. Not sure where my ROI% has gone, it's nosedived this month, and that was before I got the new computer as well.
In the last two days, I've picked up around 1,500 C4P, so if I keep earning 500 C4P a day, I'll get really close to Priority Club at the end of the month. Not expecting to get there this month, but I'll probably go for Priority Club next month.
I'm staying up all night to watch the 24 Hours of Le Mans, so if anyone wants some free money, come find me on the tables tomorrow

I decided to start off playing cash today, for a bit of a change. I loaded up 12 tables, but most of them had a waiting list, so I opened up a few more and before I knew it, I had 21 tables going at once. Fast forward an hour to the end of the session, and despite picking up some decent starting hands, I didn't run too great once all the money was in the middle, and ended up 2 buyins down. C'est la vie.
Played some DYMs, but didn't get as much volume as the last couple of days. However, I did end up with a small profit

I've been playing between 12 and 18 tables most of the time, depending on how many I feel like playing. Can manage up to 24 tables in theory, but I struggle to keep up with the action once I get to about 16 or 17 tables.
Impressed with the number of tables!
I can only manage 7 before my computer either wants to blow up or i find i'm sitting out on the bubble in half my games.
Do you play the different level dym's to maintain volume rather than waiting for new games at the level your happiest with?
Regards
Jac
Didn't play at all yesterday.

I used to have the same problem with only being able to play a few tables at once, you get used to it though, as long as the computer doesn't blow up lol.
There's usually enough games running at the level I play (£5.50) in the evenings and weekends. Had a session earlier though, and when I started (about 3pm), I had to play some £3.30 games as well to have a decent number of tables running, so sometimes I'll drop down to get more volume, and I'll occasionally open a £11 game if I think there's some value.
keep it going

It's rather like looking at your monhtly payslip in the office, thinking thats nice, and then looking in the Tax collum, and thinking... oh sheet!!!
Can get around 60 percent back if you get enough points.
But yeah, rake is too high and punishes the casual or small stakes players much more.
Just amazes me to see you guys grind so many of these £5 DYMS.
You are the dream player for sky poker. Lots of robotic volume, little profit, lots of rake paid, lots of £ for sky poker, very little room for improvement or development.
You may as well be bots.
No Pat, just my honest opinion.
These DYMs are very robotic and I would guess if you took some of the best DYM players on the site and looked at their winnings, Sky will have made more money from that players rake then that player has profited.
I think a better focus is to move up in stakes and play cash rather then try and move up in volume and down in stakes. Thats just my opinion.
You are prob new enough to poker, I can guarantee if you keep playing poker...you will eventually move to cash.
Pretty much inevitable.
Hi evilpingu good to see your rebuilding your roll back up nice and steadily. As for going for priority this month I think you should just get your head down and plough through it to get there. You'll obv need to put a lot of volume in but once you hit it it'll be worth it especially if your a dym specialist as your monthly rake back is gonna be a massive % of your total profit. Plus you get all sorts of other perks and promo's and the 3 month + boost.
GL anyway
I think DYM rake is only fair at 5% but I'd welcome any reduction in DYM rake as a starting point. I've stated my argument for 5% DYM rake lots of times on these forums and here it is again: They pay exacly the same as heads up STTs 50% of the player pool wins 100% and the other 50% loses.
that being said - he, but more particularly you, are playing well below your capabilities, and hence enduring more rake than need be.
I remember when you arrived here in a blaze of glory - all gung ho etc - and it´s been impressive watching how you have matured as a player.
but that doesn´t mean you need to be keeping Sky in business single handedly.
if the rake at dym is too high - stop playing dym - play cash - play mtts - play whatever, but make sure you get paid for your edge not Sky!
i´ve no doubt you should be playing much higher levels than me, but you will not get there binking around in the undergrowth forever.
