    thanks jc,
    unlucky mate,that,s why i guess good brm becomes even more important at the higher levels especially.?
    still we get good days too,don,t we?
    or used to.   lol
    just seems such an unfair game sometimes,as you know most of the time that you are making the correct plays.well i suppose we at least think we are,...
    not so sure atm though.   lol
    as i,ve always said,it,s just about the end result,so bound to get a few glitches along the way.

    1 good thing about tonight though...
    got my first ever £11 winning session  under my belt. mind you...can,t really call winning 2 games much of a run,can you? lol
    still,it,s a start.

    :-)

    Just something about you and that £200 barrier isn't there lol.
    I am sure you will crack it and stay there sooner rather than later GL.

    hi belsibub,
    yes m8,it,s starting to become a minor irritation.
    what,s the old saying;"1 step forward and 2 steps back"  lol

    so it,s the day after the night b4;
    still no wiser as to what to do next?
    do i play it safe and drop back into my comfort zone,playing either £1 & £2,s ?
    or £2 & £3,s?
    maybe risk a bit more £3 & £5,s?
    or just go 4 it,£5 & £11,s and get this thing moving 1 way or the other?
    answers on a postcard...lol

    Dev,

    I am risk taking in my opinion by 2 tabling at the the £11 level, but if I was you say 8 tabling then I would be prepared to have 20% of my roll on the tables at any one time so for you playing £3's & £5's would be the way to go. 
    But that is Day/Time dependent, as JC said W/ends are supposed to be soft, we know that because of the type of player who maybe chase where others would fold the beats seem to be worse.
    Dym's are not cash where you can reload against these players, & over time you will be a winner. In Dym's quite often this is "Game over" so you have to treat it slightly different. So you would be therefore better off playing £2's & £3's with the odd £5. Just remember the Tortoise & the Hare m8. But I guess what I am trying to say through all this waffle is stay within your comfort level at all times, you dont need any more added pressure when you playing that many tables. 
    So as its Sunday its Plan B but tomorrow you go for Plan A. Thats probably confused you even more m8.
    Take care bud & run good,

    Mike

    hi Mike,
    thanks 4 all your thoughts m8.
    yes,i think u r right about staying within comfort zone and keeping it down to about 20% in play at any one time.
    i will try and keep to these guidlines amap.
    only problem i,m finding as each day goes by if my b/roll either goes backwards or even simply stays around the same as when i,ve started,as it seems to be at the moment,i,m finding it frustrating as i feel it,s another day gone by and another day wasted.
    i guess i need to show some discipline and patience here.
    cheers Mike,
    be lucky,
    :-)

    Congrats Dev,

    Nice day's work, especially for a Sunday :-)

    Glad you reckoned the advice helped m8. Just wish I could take my own advice & keep away Sundays, at least from the Dym's. 

    Plan A then today m8, hope that works as well 

    Run good m8

    Nice one Ian,
    Glad to see you've broken the £200 barrier.
    Onwards & Upwards!

    Haven't had time to play much recently as busy packing for our house move.

    Keep the Faith!

    Dev,

     I change plans like the wind, you know me lol but as you managed to increase your bankroll over 10% in the 1 day why not stick at it (If it ain't broke don't fix it). TinTin said the same thing about cash. 
     Am more optimistic about your chances than England's by the way !!
    Have a good day m8,

    Mike

    ps.All the best for the house move Mick, but hope you in DTD tonight.

    Good to see you back over £200, very well played Dev.

    I reckon you'll pass £300 when June C4P comes in or sooner. Good luck.
  • edited June 2012
    hi mike, thanks m8,
    yes,might just give the £1 & £2 another go later.
    enjoy the footie...
    :-)
    dev

    hi gary,
    thanks too m8,
    yes,i,m feeling a little more optimistic about staying there this time.
    could live to regret saying that later.
    the c4p are certainly a good boost when they arrive,aren,t they.
    keep up the good work yourself m8 with your challenge.
    best wishes,

    Good going m8,

    I think the tortoise is ahead of the hare at the moment :-)

    Smart move I reckon staying with these levels for a bit but throw in the odd shot at the £3's

    Keep running good Ian

    Hi devon wd on getting past the £200 mark it is a struggle and im finding it the same with it hovering around even, just above or just below but then you get a good day and boom its bumped up a nice amount and your moving forward. Its a little frustrating when you dont say make a decent amount daily but i guess thats just poker, really chuffed you have made a good comeback from that bad run you had last month and shows real disciplin so keep up the good work :)
  • edited June 2012
    keep it going mate, youve got some momentum going again and its good to see you planted in the £200 zone
  • edited June 2012
    thanks Daz,
    just take it 1 day at a time and what will be will be.
    nice to win obv but as u say that,s poker isn,t it.

    thanks TINTIN,
    can,t quite nail each session as u seem 2b atm,but it,s going up slowly but surely atm.
    so got 2b happy i guess.
    my plan seems to have gone 4 burton atm but i guess as woogie(mike) says,"if it aint broke why fix it."
    i,m trying to also think "long term" as if i can get to my £1000 target which i think is now possible,then i,m going to have a number of options as to what to do next,ie;either carry on playing dym at a higher level,poss £3 & £5 or if i fancy a change could try something new like mtt,s or giving cash another bash,(couldn,t resist that one,sorry.!)  lol
    i have tried cash a number of times in the past,even watched yourself play several times,but 4 whatever reason,not really found it that successful tbh.having said that,i have had some success on another site playing cash so i guess the option will always be to go back there, should i choose to.
    i do like/enjoy /prefer playing here at sky though,as the community here is by far the best around.
    i know that many players, especially those playing at the lower levels enjoy posting here as i do,and also reading other players posts too.
    as i,ve already mentioned in an earlier post,it is now all about the winning 4 me,but i would not be playing if i didn,t also find it enjoyable and challenging too.
    sorry if i,ve rambled on a bit...
    but sometimes it,s nice to express just how you are feeling and to let it all out.
    anyway,
    think i,m done,
    so will finish off by saying,
    good luck & best wishes to everyone,
