random bingo players calling lightish pre bubble where they place in a race, is not good for you.
just need to think about shoving/calling ranges pre bubble
it's all about the bubble baby !
pre bubble u want a big chunk of equity before you shove all in, the more you do this the better long term
Like variance, the more flips you take the greater the chance of you loosing and busting out of the tournamnet
hence the importance of acheiving a big stack to absurb variance
ps, just get your chips in good with +60% and you'll win long term - have faith borother )
ty 4 post m8.
if "bingo players" are happy calling with rubbish,that,s their choice.
but when they constantly call & it means that u need 2 win poss 3 or 4 flips per game 2 win then clearly ur in trouble.
anyway,
it,s not just myself that seems to struggle on "bingo days"so for the time being i will simply not bother playing them.
i might use the time for other things?
poss do some hand analysis as i,ve not got into that yet.
poss do some spying on players for future reference.
poss play a few mtt,s,not tried them either.
or a mix of all 3.
could play some cash but if i did it would be elsewhere.
best wishes
dev
yeah,no point in playing when i am clearly struggling though .
as i am playing 12 tables myself most of the time i am now able 2 play less hours and still manage a reasonable return with c4p.this will also ensure against burn out hopfully.
gl 2 in ls freeroll
dev
problem isn,t helped though by the rng as we all know it nearly always helps the underdog.
hence the reason "bingo players" seem to do so well.
anyway,
i,m not getting into that now.
gl buddy
dev
I know it`s a profit but is it really worth it as poker can get boring!!??
lost £20.90
b/roll £225.06 (+£184.35)
c4p 96
total 1205 = £12.05
another day time losing session
just don,t seem 2b able to win playing 12 tables at this time of tha day.
all the odds seem 2b against me.
so will now either play 2 tables during this period or not play at all.
when u go in with kk & get called by 8 5 & it comes 5 5 u know it,s not going 2b your day. lol
still as i am only playing with money i have previously won,
i can just about see the funny side to this crazy game that i am playing atm.
back later
dev
Been watching your ups and downs with interest.
I think DYM's have changed a lot in the last couple of months (or at least the players have) (or maybe its me) !! lol
I've certinly noticed that games seem to go to higher levels than they used to.
Quite normal seeing tables still with 6 players left up to levels 5 & 6 (apart from the odd maniac).
Have you noticed the same??
Run good buddy
Mick
i did write a reply earlier today to this post & having had time & another losing session to reflect on things,
i have decided to delete the earlier post & replace it with this one.
yes,i have asked myself the same question several times....
"is it really worth it?"
guess i,ll not answer with a straighforward yes or no as i,m unsure from day to day.
the fact is though i,ve turned £40 into now £225 so i guess i,ll leave it up to you to decide.
what if i do manage to reach my £1000 target what will you think then?
also,
i may then decide to try to turn £400 into £10,000 with another dym challenge.
but then again.....
dev
yes,there certainly have been 1 or 2 ups & downs,which of course i fully expected.
don,t mind the ups but it,s the downs that test you.as i have played many diferent sports all my life to a reasonable standard,i know all about winning & losing,so poker for me is just another sport,& i think i am more than able to deal with whatever it has to throw at me. lol
yes,
i guess new players have joined sky as they always will from week to week ,so it is inevatable you will be seeing new names at the tables,especially as dym,s are quite a popular game for many newcommers.
also,
yes it is possible that some games take longer b4 players go out,but i still think at the lower levels there are still plenty of games where u see players going out even at levels 1 or 2.
best wishes & good luck m8

part 2....
won £26.15
b/roll £251.21 (+£210.50)
c4p 75
total 1280 = £12.80 to come
won back money i lost earlier today
so happy with that, plus sm w.
so up & down atm but no worries as i know that is how this game can be at times.
still happy with my game & confident that i will make more progress this month.especially now i am sticking to playing just £3 games.
dev
Totally confused by your recent posts tbh.
I understand the frustration when we lose the all in preflop level 1 with kk v a rag etc but that is why we're playing £3 dym's.
We play a lot and so know all about variance. We are desperate for that 'bingo' player to shove with ace rag.
Yeah, he wins a few but more importantly we win more and hence in the long run we make money.
I have played mostly £5 and £10 since i begun on sky but recently have played a lot of £3's for this very reason.
Multi-tabling you can make a nice return from these.
One other thing you seem obsessed with c4p's. I personally would suggest shorter sessions being fresh and alert in all games you're playing as opposed to trying to concentrate for long long periods of time. I think your montly profits would possibly increase this way and whatever c4p's are there at the end of the month are just a nice bonus.
I see you do a lot of analysis of your games, have you looked at profits from short sessions against those from longer ones?
I realise that this comes across as a lecture but it i promise it is with the best of intentions.
You appear to play well whenever i come across you and am surprised your results are not even better than they are.
Good luck
Jac
thanks for taking the time to post & i appreciate your comments.
think i lost more than a few y,day afternoon as my results show,but i get your point.
i,m not sure obsessed with c4p is quite true but again they are a big factor towards my b/roll so i do consider them as very important.
i have shortened my sessions to probably about 1/2 of what they were in month 1,
as i am slowly working my way up the levels & back down again in some places lol.
as you know poker can vary so much from day to day,& so much of it can be out of our control,imo.
so the length of my sessions can & do vary as do the results but as long as i have given my best ,than i am happy.
i have played shorter sessions & "booked the win" which i make no oppologies for & i,ve also played longer sessions where i have had to grind back early losses.i have also played long sessions & lost too,& where i should have possibly stopped sooner.
it is very much a learning curve in progress & i,m sure if i was to ever attempt another dym challenge at some point in the future which as i have already suggested i might,then i,m sure that any mistakes i am making atm,of which there are many,i will be able to hopefully elliminate.
as to my results,yes they possibly could be better than they currently are,i agree.
but when you have as again already mentioned a £130 & £90 losing sessions it is obviously going to have a major impact on my /roll.
anyway,
that,s me done,
off to work to earn some more pennies b4 the rain comes again,no doubt. lol
back later.
Keep grinding as the will pay off in the long run. As you have ran £40 up to around £250 it shows it is working. When you get to 1k you can then roll yourself for another DYM session, like you say £400 playing only £11 dyms, this will get your profits up quicker. So that £1 a day will be £5 a day and then you just keep moving up
gl
thanks m8,
yes,i am thinking of my nxt challenge already,only problem i can see atm is having to beat the nxt level which is £5. i,ve had a few attempts at it but without much success.
i will have another dabble there when i feel the time is right but am happy playing £3 for the time being.
best wishes with your mtt challenge too.
dev
In my opinon there is very little differenece between £3 and £5 Dym's. just a few more regulars maybe.
Itn may be just a confidence thing for you?
You can certainly with your game be a long term winner at the £5's
thank you for the nice words,
yes, i,m sure you could be right about it being a confidence thing @ £5 level.although there are deffinately more reg,s there who don,t exactly give you their money. lol
only thing is if i do lose games at that level it hurts my b/roll alot more,guess it,s 40% i think.which with only £250 to play with i just feel more comfortable at £3.
i will keep trying though as always to improve & who knows what the future may hold for all of us.
best wishes,
dev
