    In Response to Re: Diary of a moaning fish.:
    have 2 agree with u Evil regarding 20 buy-ins not being enough. i did ask jc about that and he did say that he was only using that ammount 4 his dym challenge., and that to play dym,s properly ,if u like, he would use the 100 buy-in rule. ie;to play at £3.30 level u should have a b/roll of around £330 or more. which basically means each loss is only 1% of your b/roll. i did lose £41.70 a week or so ago in 1 night, so i do know how it can go,on a bad night, as i do use the 100 buy-in rule myself, although it hurt,obviously, it was only 10% of my b/roll whish was at that time £415 approx. i think with your b/roll as it stands around £100 any higher than £1.15 is risky, but that,s not to say u shouldn,t play higher, like i say just hurts more if u do lose. like jc said 2 me,it,s all about risk & reward, the rewards are certainly there so just keep going for it. best wishes as always devon

    Have actually stepped down to £1.15 now, although I am playing 9 tables at a time. This is so that I can get a decent amount of C4P, and as £1.15's still give 7 league points each, it should also push me further up the TSP league.

    Interestingly, I've started running a lot better in DYM's now that I'm playing 9 at a time, so I must have some flaws in my game which are more noticeable when I'm only playing a couple of tables - Probably over-aggression.

    Was about £12 down at one point today, although have fought my way back up to almost break even, will post again after Master Cash with full breakdown of everything :)

    Was about £12 down at one point so delighted to finish the day in profit, 154th on the STT rankings on the TSP league, so will probably be in the top 150 sometime tomorrow, and hopefully keep going from there :) Despite only winning £1.25, it's probably been better than the days that I've made more because I've dug myself out of a hole rather than just running good. Also found a couple of flaws in my game in the process.

    DYM:

    £1.15 NLH - W26 L10, +£11.45
    £1.15 PLO - W0 L1, -£1.15
    £2.25 PLO8 - W0 L1, -£1.75

    £1.05 Turbo - W0 L1, -£1.05
    £1.05 Hyper - W2 L3, -£1.25

    ----
    Tournaments:

    14:55 £1.10 PLO8 - 14/20, Nut flush draw, backdoor nut low draw, and gutshot vs. flopped straight. Missed everything.
    15:40 £2.20, £100 GTD 15 min timed - AJ < AK < AA AIPF, then shoved with about 4 big blinds and got called by big stack with 9 high, who hit trips. Sigh.
    16:55 £1.10 PLO8 - 7/24, Short stack, was 14/14 at one point but still managed to get to 7th, luck eventually ran out.

    Not such a good day today, lost £3.65 on an NL4 table where everyone else made loads from a maniac who was all in with any two every hand, lost twice to straights when I had opponent dominated pre-flop, and didn't manage to win as many DYM's as I lost.

    Will take forever to build up a decent bankroll playing £1.15 DYM's, but playing 6-9 tables at a time is good fun, not too bothered at being £15 down this month, enjoying the game most importantly, and still got a few days to hopefully end the month break even or with a small profit.

    On the bright side, I'm now closer to 30th place on the TSP league, only 867 points behind 30th place.

    ----
    £1.15 NLH DYM - W16 L17, -£5.95 (Rake at this level is brutal)

    NL4 - Lost £3.65, was on a table with a lunatic, around £150 on the table at the end, shame that hardly any of it was in my stack. Run better plz )

    Today: -£9.60

    Projected 30th place on March 31st: 7,126 points

    On the £1.15 DYM's I would really consider forgetting all about these as like you say the rake is crazy.

    Your current roll of £99.14 gives you 30 BI's at £3.30 which I think is enough to 2-3 table the level and at least break into the 10% rake band which overall will benefit you loads. If you drop down below say £80 then just grind NL4 back to £100 again, this can be a bit stressful if you're close to breaking point but with sufficient run good you should be fine.

    Good luck mate,

    Carl.

    Have played 111 £1.15 DYM's this month, W66 L45, for a £4.35 profit, so only just beating the rake at that level. You're probably right about playing at £3.30 on less tables, stayed at £1.15 for most of today, pretty much break even again. Only benefits of staying at £1.15 are that I'd get more C4P and League Points playing 9 x £1.15 than 3 x £3.30. I'm not too keen on the idea of any more than 1 table with only 30 buy-ins, fed up with having days of not doing much wrong, and losing 20% of my bankroll because of just running bad, so being a lot stricter with my BRM now.

    Yeah I totally get where you're coming from on losing chunks of your BR, same happened to me recently, done about 15 BI's in 2 days at the £3.30 level, lituarlly a vertical drop on SS lol. Stung like hell but the problem was I wasn't playing bad just losing every flip and tons of 70-30's etc. 

    Have slowly build back now but it takes a lot of effort and patience all whilst knowing that run could strike at any time in the future....

    Good luck mate, and keep grinding !

    Yeah, I'm basically gonna try and do what you did now and build up the £3.30 to a level where I can never realistically go broke, doing the 22 BI idea JC mentioned in his blog for £5.50 just doesn't work for me lol

    Didn't play much today, hopefully more time tomorrow :) Played a couple of games at £2.25 and £3.30, which actually pushed me into profit for today. Will hopefully get over the 1k C4P mark tomorrow or Friday, then hoping to end up with around 1,200 or 1,250 C4P at the end of the month.

    Well, was going to, spent ages talking to customer care instead. One of the £1.15 tables I was playing on wouldn't load at all, and a couple of others didn't load properly at the start, so didn't play any more because I didn't want to throw any money away, ended up talking to customer care forever, trying to explain to them that "Clearing cookies on my browser won't do anything because I'm playing on the download client" and "No, it's not my internet connection that's the problem, because it's only a couple of tables not working properly, and if my internet connection wasn't working properly, I wouldn't be playing any tables and I wouldn't be talking to you", eventually got my buy-in back, although wasn't really worth the hassle for £1.15 tbh. Result of today and yesterday are that I'm back to being 1,000 points off the TSP freeroll places on the leaderboard, and it'll be harder for me to make my 1,200 C4P target this month. Will have to catch up tomorrow night.

    No play on Saturday 28th January - Went to my Uncle's 50th Birthday party in a really posh restaurant, and they had an open bar, happy days :D However, when I got home, I decided that playing Poker when drunk was a bad idea.

    Will be grinding tomorrow, as I need to secure my place in the League Stars freeroll for February (I'm about 200 points clear of the first non-qualifier atm, so will more than likely qualify even if I don't play for the rest of the month), and hopefully reach my target of 1,200 C4P as well.

    Decided to try playing 3 x £2.25 and 6 x £1.15, instead of 9 x £1.15, which didn't last long as I just ended up registering for everything. Terrible start, AA < KJ on KJx flop, and QQ < 88 AIPF, began thinking this was going to be one of those days, but ran better since. 
    Found a way of fitting even more tables on my screen by accident, as I reg'd for 9 DYM's then the PLO Freeroll popped up, had to find somewhere for it lol. Could probably fit up to 13 tables on desktop if I wanted to, but 9 is more than enough for now.

    Qualified for Tuesday survivor, had a table full of calling stations and hardly played a hand, when I did it was all in or fold pretty much, don't think I had a single hand that went to showdown :D Should've probably played more DYM's, but got distracted, lol.

    January Targets:

    1) Grind low stakes DYM's, build bankroll up as much as possible
    Grinded more than usual, but didn't really get anywhere with the bankroll, lol.

    2) Qualify for League Stars Freeroll at the end of January
    Earned my seat :) 

    3) Don't play with more than 5% of my bankroll at any time
    Didn't play a single table with more than 5% of my BR at one time, however, did have more than 5% of my BR spread out across multiple tables - Sometimes up to 15% when I tried 9 x £2.25 tables. Think my BRM has improved which was the point of this target, really.


    February Targets:

    1) Qualify for League Stars Freeroll again.
    2) 3,000 C4P - Won't be easy, but not unrealistic either, especially as I have a week off college this month too.
    3) Get into top 30 of TSP League, for best chance of staying there in March and getting entry into TSP freeroll at beginning of April.
    4) Enter Sunday Survivor whenever possible

    Started off with everyone hitting their 2 outer against me, ran top 2 pair into sets a couple of times as well. Then had a hand where I turned a full house and my mouse started playing up so auto-folded to a min bet. Grr -.-
    Got fed up with DYM's so tried the 5p/5p action table for about 20 minutes, made 19p, then stopped playing for the night.

    2nd month in a row that I've lost what I'm due in C4P on the first day of the month... Fail.

    Snow (Yeah, all 1 inch of it here...) seems to be wreaking havoc with the electricity in my house, so only managed 3 games last night before deciding that I didn't want to risk the internet playing up and me losing several buy-ins. Won all 3 for a £8.10 profit, but would've liked to be able to play more. Lack of volume is really sc rewing up my C4P target for the month and my STT League Position.

    Will be playing low stakes DYM again today, 2 tables on the laptop in front of the telly until I'm confident that there's not going to be a power cut as soon as I decide to load up 8 or 9 tables.
