When to take a shot at 5.50 dyms
Been playing 3.30 dyms and made a nice profit.
Just wondering how many buy ins I wold ideally like to have before taking a shot. I 4/5 table.
Would love devonfish5's opinion being a solid reg and if the games are that much different?
Many thanks

Played with you a number of times and your game seemed really solid.
Dev disagrees with me here but i really don't think there is much of a diffence in the 2 levels.
More decent regs at the 5's i guess but just use a bit of game selection and you'll be fine.
First noticeable jump in standard for me is at the 10's.
Depends how confident you are but I'd be comfortable playing £5s with £150. You could even give them a little go as low as £100 imo, if it goes well, great, if you start off bad, just go back to £3s build up again and give it another go in a few weeks.
P.S. I'm like the biggest BR nit ever lol
hi YouMad,
lovin the name btw.
yes the games are diferent imo...
the £5's are harder without any doubt and imo it's the 1st real diference level.
i've been and in many ways still am in the same situation as yourself,that being making a decent profit at the £3 level and still trying to get to grips with the £5's.
i'm still struggling to make real progress with the £5's and i've been playing them on and off for the past 4/6 months i guess.
i'm not sure why i'm not getting to grips with them as i have found the £3's relatively easy in comparison.
i'm not giving up trying though and will probably continue playing them into the new year and beyond,as i'm sure that even more money can be made long term by playing them.especially taking into account the extra c4p from them.
however there must surely come a time when i say 'enough is enough' and i'm sure i'll know if that day should ever come,and i'll simply carry on grinding at the £3 level only.
playing 4/5 tables is ok but there should be no reason why you couldn't play at least 9 if your equipment can handle it,or even more.i've been playing 12/15+ for the past few months and this month with going for priority i've been attempting to play 18/20 which has got easier as the month's gone on.
i'm not sure if it's possible to win playing that many,as i'm down this month money wise,it may well not be,but i don't give in after just 1 set back and i'm sure i'll be trying again next month.
i also believe that if SKY do ever manage to give us 'auto-seat and re-sizable tables' then i think that even 30/40 tables would be a very real possibility for me. lol
.
as to number of buy-ins,that's down to you,but i'd say the more the better.
imagine losing 10 buy-ins in a session £55 which is easily possible,how would that effect you and your b/roll?
i would always want at least 100 buy-ins for a level myself if not 200 preferably.
hope that helps a bit mate and good luck with them.

just finished and have just made priority 4 the 1st time...hooooray. lol
yes that's the problem moving up levels if u r not properly rolled 4 it,then it does hurt more when u lose,doesn't it.
even 100 buy-ins is ok,just start playing 1 table mixed in with your £3's and go from there.
but trust me the £5's are harder,so don't go mad. lol
i could only play around 6 tables on my old pc,so bought a new one in march this year.best thing i've ever bought i think.
it's an i7 and cost £580 all inc. have had 24 tables going at one time. aaaaagh. lol
anyway gl buddy,
best wishes
