Hi all, what would be a typical ROI for a successful DYM multi table grinder?

    Anything over 5% after rake is good.  If you manage over 10% over a large sample size you're a DYM genius.

    Yeah TommyD says it all. If you can be winning between 55-60% of the games you play then you're doing good.

    As above - 9% ROI means you're winning 60% of the DYM's you play (assuming 10% rake), which is a realistic target for anybody IMO.

    Just had a look at mine - roi 2%
    Dont play too many at the moment ( been taken offline at work but hoping to get it back by way of a favour from an it pal). Love to play the dym's during my lunch hour (s) lol
    when i was playing i was running at between 54 and 60% win rate (i think this was over about 4-6 months).
    Sharkscope also tells me my form is HOT - lol i dont think so but hey someone likes me hahaha

    10% isn't that hard at the lower stakes.

    As you go up in stakes or play more than say 5 tables, <5% suddenly becomes a nice profit

    Was one of them WrongJohn  by any chance... who plays abuot a million DYMs per month? He absolutely butchers the C4P and obviously makes a nice profit from his games too, but I can't see that you can keep up an absolute optimal win rate with his volume.

    Hi Folks
    I'm fairly new to th site and game(less than 1 year) but i'm enjoying myself with the learning process. I tend to play £3.30 DYM's along with MTT's and after a downswing initially, i'm making a small profit in DYM's with av roi 5%. Was there a stage where maybe you moved to say £5.50 level and did you fid a great difference in the play. I don't multi as i find it less enjoyable as well as creating tilt at times.The DTD Forum although good fun was a stressfull with just three tables. Is this a norm for inexperienced players. Any views on your own experiences would be helpful. Cheers....

    With regards to multi-tabling, it simply is just a case of practice, but I do think there are some games that are easier to multi-table than others. Like I feel perfectly happy to play 6 tables of cash because I know I'm always 100BB deep, and I know what I'm doing in most spots (whether it's the right thing is another matter) quickly.

    Whereas multi-tabling DYMs when you gotta constantly concentrate on everyone's stack, the blind levels, who are the people who just hand over their blinds easily etc, I wouldn't fancy doing that 6 tables at a time. Although like I said, practice and I'm sure it's more than do-able.

    On the question of £5 DYMs, these are the ones I've played more than any other type and I think the majority of the players at this level are still pretty bad. People I've spoke to said the real difference is £11+ games. But yeah I think you find alot of bad bad players at the £5 games. It could just be variance if you're on a bit of a bad run when stepping up, post some hands, and move back down a level if you're BR has took a hit.

    Thanks for the replies.

    I've had better success playing one table at a time, as Lambert says there are a lot of factors to take into consideration in the later stages.

    Anyone have any experience as to when the weaker players are on?  I'm guessing mid to late evening?

    Just ask someone who is a member of sharkscope (like Doh) to check for you, and if they're feeling nice, they will.

    14 is a nice streak, think 9 in a row is my best, although that was at £5 games :p
