    hi Daz,
    yes,can,t believe just how many games i,ve racked up myself.
    always played freerolls well when i,ve had enongh points 2 enter.
    i,ve won 4 of them and cashed a number of times.
    always enjoy playing them,and can,t get much better value than them,can you?
    not quite true that i am now an mtt die-hard...lol,
    but i will deffo be looking into them once this mission is over.!!!
    good u are now a believer in dym,s as i think myself they are good value 2 play.
    anything over 55-60% and u win,also imo they are better than cash 4 c4p.
    gl buddy,
    hope today and june are "hot 4 you" oh,and let,s hope we are all going to have a drink or 2 when England finally get that trophy....lol
    be lucky,
    :-)

    Well done and keep it up

    hi Gary,
    yes it is hard work m8,
    but i,m now playing 11/12 tables which helps.
    don,t know how many more it will be possible 2 play.
    so you won,t be rushing back then.   lol

    hi dev

    ive been following with interest even tho im not keen on those dym's. youve got to be happy with a 150%+ increase on your starting balance excluding c4p bonus even after that day we wont mention much.

    more of the same nxt month. gl with your ongoing pursuit
  • edited May 2012
    thank you TINTIN,
    yes can,t grumble i guess.
    yes dym,s aren't,t everyone's cup of tea,but i like the fact you know what u r going 2 win or lose each game,
    also that u only need to finish in top 3 to cash.also think the c4p are better than micro cash.
    i also find i can play allot more tables playing dym than when i play cash.i find as you yourself play 6 tables is comfortable,any more than that i start missing spots and not playing optimally.
    i know the top players play many more tables,i have played as many as 12 but found myself making key mistakes,which can be very costly.
    not saying i,m playing perfect poker with dym,s but i,m just more comfortable with them,i guess.
    looking forward to seeing how you do m8,
    best of luck,
    :-)

    I reckon you could be right about June as well & I dont mean the football!!

    Keep going dev your doing great.

  • edited May 2012
    The answer to your question is no i wont be rushing back, i would rather play 1 or 2 £11 dyms at a time, i feel the amount of effort and the extra rake you pay at that level does not justify the small amount of profit you may make.

    this is just my opinion

    Gary

  • edited June 2012
    hi Gary,
    i would love 2 play £11,s myself m8,
    but as we all know what happened there on my last visit & only visit,....so far anyway,
    i simply can,t take that risk again atm not with only £100 2 play with.
    hope 2 get back there again with you at some point on this mission.!!!

    Great effort Dev.

    More of the same in Jun I guess - looks like you're killing those £3.30's!

    My target for jun is 30k C4P - I'm still working f/t so don't know if I'll get there, but will give it my best shot.
  • edited June 2012
    hi jingle,
    gl m8,
    30k...that,s a big number.
    i take it u have now increased no. of tables u r playing?
    up 2 18 yet?
    i,m just about coping with 12 atm.

    what do u think about my percentages;
    £1.15   60.5%
    £2.25   59.9%
    £3.30   56.9%
    £5.50  57.4%

    do u think over the number of games i,ve played that they are about what you would expect?
    any thought,s appreciated.
    i,m thinking that over a larger number of games played,the % would be more likely to drop rather than improve,any thoughts on that please.

    c4p  39 (+£50.50 to come)

    "booked the win"
    took the small risk of playing £3 games
    going to start off this month taking any win by stopping session early.
    it will mean less c4p but by trying to ensure a winning session as often as possible,this should more than compensate c4p,i think.
    it will also ensure i don,t "burn out" and keep me progressing forwards.

    Hi Dev,

    Nice start to the day m8 ( I'd be tempted to call it a day now ;-) )

    Lets face it the footballs on later, but rather you win at poker than England win at football :-)

    Mike
  • edited June 2012
    thanks Mike,
    yes it,s tempting to stop once u,ve won isn,t it.
    but expect the temptation to play again later will take over.
    be nice 2 see England win but as you say,"got to get your priorities right,haven,t you?
    have a good day yourself m8,
    be lucky,

    Wow, your £5 results are v.good - any profit is great once you increase your volume and get those C4P's!

    Yeah, 20k is prob more likely for me but I will see how many I can get.

  • edited June 2012
    Getting back on track  mate and when the c4p is paid that will be a masive boost, just keep going and leave those 11 dyms for now eh.
    As for England Belgium if its anything like last Saturday, you may as well grind your games, I am sure the 90 secs of action wont affect your gameplay too much.
    But lets hope I am wrong, though I would rather the action happened when it mattered rather than a friendly.
    Gl to you Dev, the recovery is coming along nicely.
  • edited June 2012
    hey dev, I noticed your last few updates show a drop in volume of games.

    Wondered if you find that if you focus on individual games, and identify the subtle nuances of the players at the table, and the table dynamics etc Is there a more likely winning strategy than multi tabling and making more ABC decisions?

    I rarely if ever play more than 1 or 2 tables at a time, and certainly don't put the volume of games in that other DYM regs do (i've decided to class myself as a reg based on pingus earlier definition), but is there any evidence out there of any DYM specialists focusing on quality rather than quantity?
  • edited June 2012
    hi jingle,
    yes,pretty much what i thought m8,
    gl with c4p
    :-)
    dev

    hi oop
    cheers m8,
    yes can,t say i,m in much of a hurry getting back to those £11,s.
    c4p is in sight now,counting down the days.
    still think it abit unfair that we have to wait so long to get ours,
    will deffo help won,t it.
    enjoy the euro,s m8,....
    come on England,we can do it.
    :-)
    dev

    hi uncleonion,
    yes m8 u could be right,
    i still had 8 tables going this morning,with the 10am freeroll added on.
    i think it could help playing less tables as u say,
    but i think it more likely that i just got off 2 a good start and i was more than happy to stop playing and take the win,a tactic that as i,ve previously said,i will now be introducing as this challenge goes forwards.
    had i lost say 3or 4 of those 7 games played i would have carried on with the session,
    until i was either back level or showing a smaller profit.
    deffo something 4 me to look out for though.
    i,m sure each player has there own individual way of approaching things,
    as to myself,atm it,s all about quantity.
    playing at the lower levels as i am i think quantity is ok,as any mistakes i make,
    which i,m sure there are a fair number,doesn,t cost me to dearly.
    i think it quite likely that if/when i move up a level or two,that the number of tables i play will drop down,
    especially after what happened previously @£11.

    if/when i play cash,i have found that playing 6 tables to be my optimum number.
    so i,m sure i must have one for playing dym,s too.
    haven,t  figured out exactly that number yet,but i,m sure in time...i,ll find one.!!! lol
    gl m8,
