    In Response to Re: £40 to £1000 dev's DYM...MISSION IMPOSSIBLE (b/roll atm..£275.13)...highest yet....hooooray.:
    DAY  75 sat 14/7/12 won £33.30 b/roll £308.43 (+£267.72) c4p  57 total 1836 = £18.36 to come. at last had some decent run.... been waiting for this day for a while. makes me realise it does happen occasionally, just a shame it doesn't happen as often as it should. got over the £300 barrier much quicker than i had been expecting this week, so very happy atm with the way it all seems to be going. had some dark days haven't i,so i guess it's only fair to have the odd nice 1 too.   lol :) dev

    hi PAT,THAT'S BETTER.
    thanks m8
    looks like ur just being unlucky atm with your mtt's
     i'm sure patience is key when playing them as you don't win many but when you do....you score.
    probably the reason i don't play mtt's is i don't know how long i could go without a win but that said....
    you never know i might give them a proper go 1 day?
    best wishes buddy

    Thanks Pal, Have just checked my dym results and they look good to me.This is where I could do with some advice.I play the dyms up to £5 but mostly at 2 and 3.I do alright, meaning I am up at the end of the week, most weeks.I only play between 4 and at most 8-12 a night.Can only do 3 tables at a time on my laptop.This is what my question is should I play dyms only as I think at the levels I play I might make a small profit or a small loss each week.Or should I try the mttts where I might get one big win but could go awhile before even cashing.I have been doing mostly mtts this week from the monday forum game onwards.Tried following sky pokers tv advice and go for wins and not min cashes.Didn't go to good, forum game Monday finished 22nd 32nd and 32nd no cashes but good fun.Same rest of the week.So what to do, play dyms and probally make small profit but good c4p or Mtts where 1 good result would make a massive difference but could really do damage to bankroll. Any taughts anyone Pat

    Hi Pat,
     The 1st question to ask yourself is which do you prefer?
    When I 1st started here a couple of months ago with £10 I had always been a sng  player so playing dym's seemed the natural course with sng's not too popular here. I did ok but don't like the bubble play in them as much of the times it becomes purely shove central. Like you I can only 2 table unlike dev here who can take out a lot of the varience with multi tables.
     The Monday night DTD got me into  playing mtt's & ok I was lucky to win the Totty & the lucky 7's which means the bankroll is over £450. Mainly now I am playing the £2.20 mtt's rebuy's but only buying the "add on"  these are proving to be profitable enough to have a go at the satelittes into the bigger mtt's. I also play the Timed tournies on a wed night which are good fun. 
     So I guess what I am trying to say is at the end of the day, play whichever gives you most pleasure, I am full of admiration for Dev & the way he can multi table & his dedication to this mission, but for me poker is fun so just enjoy it.
    Sorry dev I didn't mean to hog your thread but Pat did ask lol

    hi Paul,
    ty m8,
    yeah i am here each day ,aren't i.
    really i should go on 'Big Brother' that would be a doddle compared to this!!!  lol
    yes,why not get something going yourself,no reason why you shouldn't?
    been a few day's when i've thought "what the hell am i doing?"but not many.
    looks like now i've settled on playing almost entirely £3 games & seems 2b going forwards nicely atm,
    (hope i've not spoken to soon...lol)
    anyway,
    best wishes Paul,

    no worries Mike,you know i won't mind.
    hi Pat,
    Mike's right which do you prefer?
    the most important thing is to enjoy playing,obviously winning makes a diference,becuse if you can win &see your b/roll increase,what is there not to like.
    i am as you know into dym atm but that doesn't mean i will or have to play them forever.
    why not play a mixture of both as you are atm & see where it takes you.
    if u can grind out a small profit playing dym's & use some or all of that money to pay for some mtt fun,why not?
    then when you get that nice cash you can think again.
    anyway m8,
    it's you that 's playing, it's you that's paying.it's your choice.
    good luck buddy.
    :)

    weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee keep it up

    small steps, plus wouldn't put too much emphasis on these barriers

    they start to become a bit of a mind block

    if you drop below £300 it can start to mess u up in the head and mess with your play

    get em in good and it will fall into place

    run good

    nice one dev on breaking another barrier; don't know about you but I only feel I'm really through the barrier when I'm through the next one (if that makes sense!)  Have spent so many times bouncing back and forth a barrier - must be psychological :)

    DAY  77
    mon  16/7/12

    won  £23.70

    b/roll £332.13 (+£291.42)

    c4p   93
    total  1929 = £19.29 to come

    another w so all good
    played good ran ok.
    just about 1/3 of the way there i make it,so barring any major slip-ups got 2b happy with the way it is all going atm.
    at last got some momentum & feel really good about my game for the 1st time in along while.
    just need the bad run to stay away,something that has been holding me back for the past 3 weeks or so,
    and i'm confident that i might even be able to reach the £500 barrier when this months c4p kick in.
    of course,
    could all go 'pips up' but i'm on a roll so who knows?
    either way...
    doesn't really matter,as "it's a never endin game"
    lol

    thanks m8,
    yeah,finally seem 2b getting somewhere,i think.
    seem to be playing at a nice level atm (£3) & winning so i see no reason to make any changes.
    would be nice to move up to £5 especially with number of tables i play,as c4p would be even better
    but will probably wait now untill i get b/roll up to £500,then add 1 or 2 tables gradually.
    thanks for posting buddy,
    best wishes,

    Hi Dev, glad to see the challenge going well. Noticed you're a third of the way there now... out of interest, when you get to the £1000 target (which I'm assuming you will) what do you intend to do? Will you withdraw some of it? If so how much? Or continue building up the roll with other forms of poker?

    Anyway, good going so far mate and keep up the good work!

    hi el,
    thanks m8.
    good question,
    not sure yet what i will do,probably just carry on playing dym as i think it is my best way of making money.
    might have a week off & try a few diferent mtt's as i've not tried them properly b4.
    might as i've previously said try an mtt challenge for a change or just carry on dym...ing.
    i do like dym though as each game has a set stake in place whereas cash is a lot more unpredicdable imo.
    anyway,
    got 2 get there 1st haven't i?
    so plenty of time to decide what to do.
    cheers buddy,
