Sunday's live show - with James & Ryan (***OFFICIAL THREAD***)

edited June 2012 in Poker Chat
Hi guys have a great show,

Best bit of advice I can give anyone with regard to Dym strategy, is to read "JohnConnors ABC guide" on the forum, which if I hadn't read there is no way I would still be playing them & in profit.

On a personal note I am really glad that scotty77 is doing the show tonight as I almost certainly will get further in the Lucky 7's than I did on Thursday. :-)

    One last outing for the Hartigan/Spittles double act before we both jet off to Vegas (blatant brag)...

    How would you like to have YOUR play analysed on live TV for a whole HOUR (between 8pm and 9pm)? We're looking for a Sky Poker player willing to be the subject of this week's edition of 'Analyse My Play'. Specifically, we're looking for someone playing this week's £10k Primo (as we'll be covering the first hour of this tournament) who's willing to chat to us on the phone. Interested? Please post in this thread, with the reason WHY we should choose you!

    Also on the agenda:

    We'll kick off the evening at 7pm with 60 minutes of Master Cash action...

    In Sky Poker School at 9pm, DYM strategy is the topic. Now, these games are hugely popular, so I expect many of you have hints and tips to pass on (via e-mail, Twitter or this forum thread)...

    And, from 10pm, expect to see key hands from Sunday's £1k Lucky Sevens event and the £10k Primo. If you want your hand shown, we'll need the Hand ID.

    For a bit of fun, inspired by I_LIIIIKE's thread, complete the following sentence: "You know you've played too much poker, when..."

    Finally, there's a competition, with a seat in next Thursday's £12k Sky Sports Bounty Hunter up for grabs. Last week, you all proved your worth identifying poker lyrics, so let's see how you get on spotting famous lines from 'Poker Movies' :-)

    You know you've played too much poker when you......

    See the Milkman making his last delivery as you leave the Casino!

    When the Keyboard on your PC starts melting!

    Turn down a night of passion with your partner because you'd rather spend time playing with two penguins a nutter and a yoyo!

    or worse

    Enjoy a night of passion with your partner whilst at the same time playing with two penguins, a nutter and a YoYo

    Enjoy, and can't stop humming Channel 865 background music!

    When you find yourself shouting "One time! Just one time!" in a £2 sit-and-go and it's not the first time, then you know that you have played too much poker. (See how I changed the sentence around? I don't like repetition.)

    No volunteers (other than Michael) for the 'Analyse My Play' hour?

    Seriously?

    What about if we remove the compulsory phone call from the Ts & Cs?

    James,
    I would love it  but am in the same boat as Michael, trying to satellite in. 
    Anyway should I manage it & I know you & Ryan can both talk, but would you like to analyse the one hand for a whole hour??

    Lol, yes i was the subject of this "analyse my play" show about a month ago and Stu Rutter commented on my early play live from the Primo.. i tried to stick to my usual tight strategy as much as possible, but i did add a couple of hands in that i wouldn't normally play to try to spice it up a bit...

    I would recommend anyone who likes a bit of attention/tv tarting to give this a go as it's great fun.. (calling Thomas Dyer! lol)

    Alternatively how about randomly picking a very loose player like mickjenn1, who is bound to give you guys entertainment value? although that in itself carries its own risks!

    Good Luck Michael and Woogie satting in!

    Youv'e played too much poker when you are in a supermarket and considering how many bigblinds a pint of milk is and how many buyins the shopping cost!

    Also when you are home and you decide whether it is plus or minus EV to do a household chore... "hmmm i dont think cleaning the bathroom is +ev at the moment, ill play poker instead and get someone else to clean it!  :)

    My thoughts on DYM strategy, having played about 5k of these on sky and got alot of cash for points from them, as well as making a modest profit...

    Tight is right early on, although if you  are comfortable playing flops i don't mind widening your range in position, but basically pot control is very important in the early stages, as it's a game of survival. I think nothing of folding AK or JJ or even QQ to an all in when the blinds are 10/20 or 15/30...

    In the mid stages, I try to punish limpers and take the initiative to build my stack by min raising and stealing blinds from weaker opponents. (blinds here are usually 50/100 up to 100/200)

    The bubble is where the key decisions are made in a DYM and my advice would be to get it in first alot, even with junk, in the right spots, put pressure on your opponents, but targeted aggression. You need to know roughly what your opponents calling and shoving ranges are before making a decision. sometimes it would be correct to snap call one opponent with AJ, but snap fold against another in the same spot on the bubble.

    stack sizes are very important when on the bubble, and there are occasions where it is correct to fold monsters like AA if you have the game locked up, or where you call with junk to try to eliminate a short stack by checking it down.

    Dyms are fun and profitable, but if you lose a few in a row they can get frustrating! each game is different... some end without you playing a hand, others go to 400/800 or 500/1000!..I have fallen in and out of love with them, but at the moment i love them. P.S never fold a nut flush... :)

    James,

    Am happy to have my play analysed and do the phone call, will be good preparation for when I am on the show on Thursday.

    The reason why you should have me on is that it will show players on the site that anyone can win one of the Vegas packages....even an aggro monkey like myself!

    Sorry, whats too much poker?  I'm confused ;)

    I played a game against my local origami club last night.  It didn't go well, they kept folding.

    If I manage to qualify for the Primo I would love my play analysed for only one reason, it will be the last primo I will be playing in.  After SPT Blackpool I will be in semi poker retirement, only playing one day a week, Monday.  It would be good to go out with a bang.

    Have a great show as always
