Say there's 6 regs and 2 fish. The fish each have £1k and are probably 80% to lose it. That's £1600 between 6 regs = £266 each night on average. That's fine tyvm.
More commonly, there's 3/4 strong regs, not 6. I think, Jason, you're under the impression that Simon Deadman, Andy Hulme, Nick Hicks, Neil Giblin play those cash games every day. They don't. Simon almost never plays anything higher than 50/1, Andy grinds online 95% of nights, Nick and Neil both play online most of the time too, and probably come in once a week on average.
The only person I play with pretty much every day is Mitch, and in the last month, Peejay. Sean most of the time too. Mitch is basically my only long-term competitor in the games and although he's very good at flopping sets, there's enough liquidity in the games for the both of us. The proof is in the pudding... I see PJ as a long term fixture now too, but no-one else really.
Tikay, I will be sure to go to the Railway museum, I'll get a photo to prove it!
Before I became a regular at DTD, I was playing at Gala notts most of the time. I loved playing there, although I occasionly got spat on which was rather unpleasant, the games were easy. After my retirement from Gala, my win rate started to plummet from playing in these games. Granted I didn't run great and was making the transition into stepping up stakes so perhaps wasn't playing optimally but I inevitably started to doubt my abilitys and questioned my place as a regular in these games. I just became so accustomed to bet bet bet whenever I made a strong holding and rarely bluffing but all of a sudden I found myself having to balance and use my brain. Having to think in a poker game, terrible right?
The games just seemed terrible and not good value to me at first because I expected everything to come easy. So I worked hard on my game and managed to string a couple of result together and realised that although these games regularly featured players who had an 'edge' on me I could still be a consisted winner. I'm not gonna deny that the regs make it easy for one another when competing for pots but there are definetly enough 'decent spots' on the table to make a living. As long as we keep our egos out of the way, I.e. avoid the 6bet bluff vs one another, then the DTD games are deffinetly strong enough for the regs to make a consistent living. As long as the fish don't go broke
