GOING FOR PRIORITY...playing £3 & £2 DYM.c4p...3788

devonfish5

Hi Dev

Would suggest just playing the 3's. 

rake is high anyway but absolute killer lower than 3's

devonfish5

ok,so i'm going to try and make 'priority' for the 1st time,playing £3 & £2 DYM's only.
not sure if i will do it,but playing 18 tables i think it's possible.
why?
      after losing £38 last Friday,then £31 & £58 on Saturday playing £5's & £3's
      i've decided to drop down levels,play more tables and see how we go.

c4p so far...
                 sat 522 (playing £3's & £5's admittedly)
                 sun 417 (£3's & £2's)
                mon 132         "
                       -------
                total 1071

my plan is to hit the tables hard for 2 weeks & see just how many points i can get.
i am also hoping that if i can get the 10,000 points needed on or around the 25th/26th then i can have a few days off from playing and then should hopefully be fresh again and repeat next month.

Sunday managed a reasonable £21.15 win & today £3.20 both whilst running pretty bad tbh,so happy with that.
also,
       rather than continually having to press the 'fold' button,i have found it so much easier and therefore better by simply letting the 'time bar' run out on any tables that i'm simply not interested in playing.
so apologies to all players that i play,but it has made such a big difference for me and i also think that if sky do ever get around to giving us re-sizable tables,  lol, i think i'd be able to manage 24 tables,12 on each screen,playing this way.

that's it for now,
                      i'll post up every few days as to how it's going.

i know that this probably looks like/is a backward step that i am taking atm,but that's fine.this may well not work out anyway,but i think it's worth a try.
i did have a good November,but most of the money i made came i'm sure from the £3's & not the £5's anyway,
so it's not quite as drastic a step as it might first look,i feel.

run good people...
and me.

Wow, this is gonna be some grind Dev.

4000 DYM's required at the £2/3 level to reach the magic 10000 points.

12 tables running at an average 1/2 hour per game, you're gonna need 40 odd hours per week so about 6/7 hours a day.

Tough, but if there's one chap I can think of who's up to it.........

Best of luck, regular updates please

edit..

18 tables!!! Makes it a lot easier on the time front. Do that many games run at once though?

good luck with that m8 thats serious volume I would probably be carted off mumbling incoherently after a week
108 £3  games a day if my maths is right the funnf farm beckons :-)

sorry mate,

you never know i could be back there soon,

best wishes,
dev

RLT16

well im not really rolled for 5.50 but seem to get better results there but when i start losing ill be dropping back down to 3.30 or 2.25.

TBH though im not gonna miss you up at 5 to much gets annoying knowing that theres only 2 winning spots left before the games started even worse when johnconnors there to 4 guys fighting for 1 spot

Good luck!

Don't let the aim of priority ruin your profitability though! If you start to regularly have break even sessions and stop winning as much as you are now then you should knock it on the head and concentrate on profits. You've said your aim is to move through the levels, so making priority from £5 and £11 DYMs with the amount you play should be easily reachable without losing an edge.

enjoy the boredom

ty mate,
yeah,no worries,
just running so bad thought i'd drop levels try something different tbh.
if needed i'll play a few sessions at £5 level at the end of the month for the extra points.
nothing is set in stone,so i can always 'tweak it' here and there.
happy to try something new and keep it fresh
best wishes

Hi Devon.
Talk about setting yourself a target - Wow

This is going to be a tough ask m8y - would be a great achievement though

Wish you all the best m8y - keep us up to date.

Good Luck

i know you like a challenge, so why not try it at the 60p dym lol. i think its do able but will take a fair few hours. i dont know what your regular schedule of playing is and wether you need to up your playing hours by much to keep on track for it or what. if you do need to add in a couple of extra hours or 2 most days than you are currently playing then you might find that this could be the biggest problem to overcome. 

a few quick calculations means you need to be averaging 400 points per day if you hope to have a few days off at the end which means your looking to play about 130 games per day.

best of luck, if theres anyone that could grind it out on the low levels its you.

Wow good luck with this - guess I'll see you on every single DYM I was intending to play this month... will try not to dish out too many bad beats!

After playing a large wedge of £2/£3s over the weekend while too injured for footy I did find myself briefly mulling over how many points I could get from doing a similar thing... I have loads of holiday to use up before the year end so will have lots of time to kill...

...But it didn't take much thought to realise I could never keep my head on it long enough to make priority. Not helped by being on a laptop that really struggles past 6 tables - something dodgy with the Sky software as another site could easily run 12+ tables on the same laptop?

All the best though, really hope you make it as it'd be an awesome achievement

I feel pain for you already. I simply couldn't do it. Best of luck as always Dev, you're a true DYM grinder

wouldn't bother Dev - priotiy is only good if you in it for 3 months +

The only thing I got out of it was cashing in both of the priotiy freerolls -_-
