nice u finally got your 2nd monitor m8.
not so nice you lost.
i had the same thing when i got my i7,started 2 play more tables than i could handle
and had a bad losing session.
think i went from 6/8 tables to 13/14 at one point,so u r not alone.
so i went back nxt sessiom to playing 8/9 and was back in my comfort zone again.
as i,ve already mentioned b4,i have found it a challenge moving up past 9/10
just about playing 12 atm,but still making mistakes,but not as many.
think 9 is my optimum number atm.
my advice jingle...go back to where u were b4 and then add 1 table until that feels the same,then add another.
it,s so tempting to add 2 or 3 at once isn,t it,?or more.
back 2 basics m8 and you,ll be fine.
best wishes,
:-)dev
thanks for your post m8,
it all makes sense when it is written down in black & white,doesn,t it.
where 2 begin,with my reply?
firstly,i,ve only "booked the win" a handfull of times i think,once was after my £11 losing night,i think,
which was understandable.i certainly didn't want another losing session.
also i only started doing this once i moved up levels,probably as a self-defence mechanism,
as i was A,playing at levels i,ve never played at b4,
and B,making a bigger profit in a much shorter amount of time,therefore,happy stopping and taking the win.
but,
you are completely right,i should be playing longer when winning,and it will be something i intend to work on,
but,again...i am fighting against all my natural instincts,which are to take the money and ensure the win.
as i mentioned in my very 1st post,i think this will be a battle of the mind as much as anything.
as for "burn out"
yes,it is something that i need to be aware of,as i have increased the hours i play immeasurably
since this challenge started,but i don,t think there will be a problem,but i,m simply being cautious.
thanks again Evil for all your input and good advice;
just hope i am able to "carry it out".
please forgive me if i don,t fully.

thanks for the nice comments m8,
i,m guessing u r playing around the £1 level?
i play anywhere between £1 & £5 atm,just depends how i,m feeling and running.
can,t say that i remember playing you specifically m8,but i,m sure i wouldn,t have thought of you as a clueless donkey anyway.
we were all beginners once so as long as you are enjoying playing and trying to learn from your mistakes,
then all is good.
i lost £130 in 1 session a couple of weeks ago,so i know only to well how easy it is to lose.
so don,t let 1 losing day worry you,it happens to us all m8.
a good starting point is to see if you can go a month without having to re-load any money into your poker account.if/when you can do that you are on your way to becoming a winning player.
keep in touch as i will be interested to see how YOU are getting along.
best wishes,
:-)

yes,i did base my name on Devilfish,and as i live in Devon,thought it the right name 4 me....lol

good session,
played well...ran well....nice.
*nice to get over the £200 barrier as that now puts me £1000 up in total winnings (withdrawn £800),
so happy with that.
makes me think if i can win one thousand,no reason why i can,t win £2000.
hooooray, happy days again. lol
back tomorrow.

yes m8 it,s not nice loading up dym,s knowing that my roll is dipping below the £200 i,ve just built up.
but the way i look at it is it,s just another session coming up, so this is bound to happen.
i only look ahead too,so it is only the end result of the session that matters to me,not so much how much i,m depositing to play it.
when a session is running i am always aware just how well or badly i am doing at all times,so i am always able to stop playing at any given moment.sometimes though the emotions can take over as they did when playing the £11,s & £5,s.but having learnt from that night ,hopefully won,t be making that mistake again.
regarding my next target of trying to reach £2000,that is what is inspiring me to carry on playing as much as possible,and seeing this challenge through to the end.
if i can complete this dym challenge asap then that will put me up to £1800 up,leaving only £200 to reach my next target.
once this challenge is completed,however long it takes,then i will have a re-think about what i will be doing next.
could be some sort of mtt challenge? just for the change.
may just continue playing dym at a higher level,see how the mood takes me i think.
i definately won,t be playing micro cash here though,as 4 me anyway there are better options available.
that,s not to say i couldn,t, but i wouldn,t.
i think playing 4 fun is fine,it should be fun.i,m sure that there are plenty of players playing that do not find it fun.
as for myself now,my enjoyment comes from winning and winning only.
i,ve spent the last 2 years playing on-line and played a variety of games.
as you know it,s all dym atm and for the foreseeable future i think.
as long as i am winning then i can,t really think of anything else that i would rather be doing.
i know i have been through long periods of totall pain and frustration,especially when i first started playing on-line,and for sometime afterwards too.
i think one of the most dificult things for alot of players,myself included, is understanding how diferent on-line poker is compared to live poker.
the biggest and most important being,imo, that playing on-line the odds on any given card appearing are completely diferent to what you,d expect them to be playing live.
we,ve all done the maths,it,s approx 2% a card,we all know that.
but just how many times do players lose with their AA or KK.?
how often does it come runner,runner for a player to lose?
or the flush/straight card come on the river?
i,ll leave you to make up your own minds.
that said,it,s by no means impossible to win.there are plenty that do in all game types.
just working out how,that,s half the battle and all part of the fun i guess,well at least for me.
as to "Devon Mafia" lol
like it.
well i,ve been a Devon Fish long enough,i guess. lol
cheers all,
enjoy the football,

I like what you said about setting a target, by aiming not to reload for at least a month.
This relates to me as much as anyone, i deposit £20 play £11 DYM get lucky get up to £60 withdraw £30, then go on to lose the rest. This is great when it works, but in the long run it's obvioulsy not going to continue. So i'm thinking i may take your advice and try to play a reasonable amount over the next month, and try not to reload.
Or is £20 to little, thanks for your help.
thanks m8,
gl with your game.
just play what u like when u like and with money u can afford to lose.
if u can spin up £20 into a nice bankroll,go 4 it.
most players would i,m sure agree ideally
it would be better to have say 20 or 30 buy-ins 4 each level,as this does give you some margin 4 some losses.
best wishes,
:-)

what a night....
ran bad all night,
£3.30,s were a disaster,
£5.50,s not any better.
luckily won a few £2.25,s.
and 2 £11,s at last. lol
at one point i think i was about £70 to £80 down,
admitedly with 8/9 tables still running and buy-ins paid for.
so what did i do?.....
yep,loaded up 2x£11 tables.
ok,i got lucky this time and won both......yipeeeee.
but i think i may have been owed those 2.
so from what was starting to feel like one of those disaster nights again.....
a loss of £16 doesn,t seem so bad.
still,we always new this mission was never going to be easy,
and i think tonight has just reminded me of that.
"that,s 1 get out of jail card used up,just got the other 1 left 4 laters" lol
right,time 4 bed me thinks,
nite all,
