What would Emma have done if Donk had folded pre.... Getting 4/1 to what could have been a 60/40 shot ..... or just under 6/1 if donk had called.....
Dont get me wrong we are all guilty of making this mistake , I've done it loads of times but the pot odds don't lie....
I do believe he was letting himself blind down reeeeaally short and his range, IMO, was fairly small.
I'll come back to this later!
I'm no mystic meg, but my thoughts were at the time that donk was not going to check that down with me. Am I right Stevie boy? I know you love bluffing me ;-)
*GASP*
FWIW, I think you have to call the river in your hand. He's probably raising the flop with OPs, flush draws and 33/44 (I rule out 99 because with you holding a 9 it's pretty unlikely). By the river he's obviously missed the FD and could be shoving the river with a busted flush. So you're ahead of all FDs, and AA,KK,QQ,JJ. If he was always ahead then I think you're just unlucky, the only hand I could see him having that caught up is TT.
I assume you called and lost, I still think a call is correct readless, it's only painful because the buy-in is so big for your roll.
Used to play these a lot myself(still play some if not got much time) and feel that the £2 and£5 ones are beatable over a long time and and playing at least six at a time ,although the 10% rake is too much and the 25p rake on the £2 ones is just ridiculous.
The biggest problem is it is impossible to get enough volume as not enough people playing them.
As you said these only take about 10 to 15 mins instead of the 30 to 40 min a normal DYM takes.
So what is needed is for sky to take off the greedy head and half the rake then these games would probably become extremely popular and in the long term sky could possibly make more profit ie normal £5 DYM 50p rake over say 45mins 3x £5 turbo DYM 75p rake over 45 mins I feel this could work as grinders would play a lot more and even with half rake would make more cash for points
But with half rake that doubles and £10 an hour is much more attractive if you can maintain a 7 from ten average which is I believe probably unachievable over a large sample imo.
A really good DYM player could probably achieve just over 6/10 in these so could probably make around 18 to 20 quid an hour six tabling £5 games if rake was halved so over a month if playing these 3 hours a day should make around £1700 a month plus C4P. On full rake this drops to a couple of hundred a month plus C4P so not really worth grinding them.
the hyper heads up games have 2 min blinds and half rake so why not turbo DYMS
You can update how much you win each draw. Will be exciting.
Doesnt seem like such a good idea playing 10p/20p with 11 buy ins.
