only a little session 2nite
very selective on £5.50 tables as so many good reg,s about.
lost my 1st game,so very happy with 2-1 win as it was as most of you know my 1st time playing £5.50,s.
ul on £3.30,s really, as i lost last 2 games.
anyway,
another W,so got 2b happy
1st impressions from tonight are;
going to be tough from here on in
going to be bigger swings without doubt,as i thought
going to be happy playing shorter sessions,and take the Win & c4p,as i did tonight.
still,happy days.....
so far. lol
:-)

I was grinding £5.50 DYMs last month and it definitely is harder than the lower levels. I haven't played any higher than this but I found that grinding £3.30 DYMs may be better than griding the £5.50 ones... although grinding a lot of the £5.50 ones can be good for points.
Anyway... you seem to be doing great ATM so keep it going!
yes,have to agree with u about the £5.50,s being harder.
i think i will simply take each session as it comes & go from there.
as i have planned this challenge around a 20 buy-in level step-up,
i guess i really should at least try & stick with it.
however i guess if a plan is not "going to plan"then a back up plan could come into operation.
that,s alot of "plans" btw. lol
early days,but i really can,t see me playing anywhere near as many games @ £5.50
as there are just to many good reg,s to beat.
will hopefully like tonight pick out a few games here & there
and basically consentrate at the lower £3.30 level.
i think if i was to get back into playing dym,s seriously...again
i would be more than happy playing just £3 & £2 levels,
and probably just keep on increasing no. of tables asap.
anyway,
have another go at them tomorrow.
good luck El,

threw in a few £2.25 games just to balance tables.
pleased to win another short session.
had the great honour & pleasure of playing JOHN CONNOR on a £5.50 table,
i must have loaded it up by mistake.....lol
i am pleased to say i did get the win from that table,as did john,i think.
(so am happy with that.!!)...phew.
:-)
dev
sorry to hear about the bad run m8
hope it changes again soon 4u.
unfortunately Daz(nearly wrote dad by mistake...lol)
the luck element does come into play with dym,s.
so even if u r playing well u can still easily lose several buy-ins
without doing alot wrong.
as i am on a good roll atm i don,t want to get to carried away with it
as i know only too well what will happen.
"nice and easy....nice and easy"
as del boy would say...lol
be good
dev
hope all is good with your poker too,
:-)

Another thing i find helps aswell for some reason is when i see a regular player at the £5 level it helps the way the game plays as long as its just 1 reg rather than having 5 randoms. Do you have this experience aswell?
glad 2 hear u r back on track.
that was one of my concerns moving up to the £5 level,
losing say 5 or 6 in a row,knowing how much it would hurt me & my b/roll.
fortunately,touch wood that,s not happened.
might give the later session a go nxt friday daz,
but as i normally start somewhere between 6 & 7pm
i,ve had enough by about 10pm.
also decided to play shorter sessions especially if i am winning
as that is my only reason for playing,even more so now i have this mission to complete.
tbh daz,the more randoms the better 4 me anyeay.
the only advantage having reg,s on your table would be that they understand the game better,ie
when someone is pushing all-in say on the button,they eren,t going to call you with kj 4 ex
whereas a reg may do.
i have found that there are just so many reg,s anyway,i even had john connor at my £5 table y,day,
so u can,t help but play them most of the time.
anyway,
another night coming up so lets see what that brings.
chat soon m8.
best wishes,
(*_ *)

dev
thanks Greg,
so far m8,
long way 2 go.
cheers
:-)
dev
hi daz,
yes i get your point about having 2 regs m8.
but anymore than 2 isn,t so good.
surely it,s better having not so good players shall we say,
as if they are calling you with worse hands,which they will most of the time,
then we are going in ahead and therefore favourite.
agree about it being harder to get reads,but as i,m playing 9/10 tables
most of my decisions are pretty instinctive and card and chip stack and position related.
i am getting to know the new reg,s @ £5.50 as i am sure they are getting to know me.
also enjoying the challenge of this new level.
i was a little apprehensive at first,but i am growing in confidence with every game.
sorry i knocked u out earlier btw,but i,m sure you,d have done the same. lol
best wishes,
:-)

hi again daz,
funny isn,t it just how quickly you can adapt to any changes.
i really didn,t think i could or would be playing @ £5 level so quickly either in my challenge.
makes me think i really could get to the higher levels at some point.
anyway,
can,t get ahead of myself,can i.
i know there is a long way to go but i,m up 4 this challenge now i,ve started it.
sure to bump into you soon,
be lucky
:-)
dev
Delighted for you Dev,
Just rewards for all the hard graft you have put in.Just had the week I would rather forget.Played a few tourneys just to keep my mind off stuff but ended up just throwing chips away.Apartment was burgled when I was at funeral.Hopefully things pick up next week and will start dyms sometime next week.Always remember having a bad beat here or there doesn't matter in the big scheme of things.
Run well pal
Pat
sorry to hear about your news,
talk about bad beats hey.
yes,sometimes things do happen,unfortunately don,t they
and it does put things into perspective.
like you say....what,s the odd bad beat compared to what you have been put through this week.
try and stay positive m8,i,m sure things will come good again.
i was going to finish by saying "be lucky",but i,m guessing that,s probably not funny,is it.
i don,t know...perphaps it is,well it.s intended to be anyways. lol

Good luck with this mate
