First go at a DYM 60p level. Thoughts on key hands please

jugglegeek

Never really been much for DYMs but I had 1/2 hour to kill the other day. These were the key hands and I won them all, but I've a feeling they were not optimum DYM stratergy.

Hand 1) Tightest player at the table and I'm happy getting ALPF with KK - is this a bad thing to think? After he min bets the flop and the turn I think he likely doesn't have an ace. Either a flopped flush (which seems unlikely with the Ah on the board) and doesn't know how to get value or Khx or QQ. Shove on the end was expected so I decided I was going to call it down unless a heart hit on the turn or river, Keep his bluffs in as well.

Here I have twice the chips and would still be chip leader if I lost. I figure I'm about 30% against his range, is it worth the gamble? Probably not right?

Finally. Is this ok just to steal the limp and the blinds? I'm probably behind if I get called. With 4 players still to act is AJs worth the gamble.

When playing DYMs if you can avoid to play higher then do, the rake at the 60p games is 20% which is disgusting.  Rake is much more reasonable at higher levels.

Hand 1 I just jam pre, if you are 3betting small make it like 650-700.As played I would usually be folding river without specific reads

Hand 2 Fold ainec imo

Hand 3 is good

Poker_Fail

IMO the 3bet with KK is way too big, I'd just raise him say 450 more, you want him to call, Hating the flop, i'd probably just call down too as i hate those minbets

2nd hand, much better to bully with a stack then calling with weak hands

I would do the same with AJ too, another 500 chips taken off the field, and if you do end up losing you still have a big chip lead

1. Yeah I like shove looks way weaker, as played I sigh fold flop.

2. I fold.

3. Looks fine.

Oh and defo NEVER play at 60p level rake is awful.
