Re: Hyper Turbo HUSNGs to pay for new Apartment

GL yay imo you should post some hands/spots you think are interesting or you want opinions on. Great job so far, following.

Handreading is extremely important above $7s or so I think. Obviously you start matches playing a pretty standard strategy, but a "standard strategy" (like any strategy) involves handreading.

To start matches I don't recommend playing very conservative -- take max value lines and be ready to see some super aggressive play from some people the first few hands. But in a game this fast and this shallow you can't really afford to cost yourself value because edges are so small. That doesn't mean you should barrel off stupidly, but if you see a great barrel spot early in a match you should still probably take it.

The one caveat is that at micros (anything $7s and below and maybe $15s) villains are prone to doing a lot of spewy random **** so your "standard strategy" should be less aggressive and you should be slightly more cally. Just my opinion.

I agree with yay that at 15s the regs get slightly better but the fish still all suck, at 30s the regs are decent and the fish get a bit better, and at 60s the regs are relatively solid and the fish get a bit better again.

Thinking about how your range hits the board is not important if your opponent doesn't think in ranges. I play aggressive from the start of the match, including 3 barrel bluffing readless on certain boards as an example. readless, i play based on population tendencies pretty much. oh and it's now about putting an opponent on a specific hand, but keeping in mind villains ranges and how they hit certain boards, and what parts of that range fold/call/raise/bet/check.

Who are the fish in these games ? Random cash players popping in ? I can't imagine people depositing just for hyper HUs ?

Re: Hyper Turbo HUSNGs to pay for new Apartment

@HateMonday: just started with 1,50$-3,50$ turbos, got husng.com standard membership and used the forum pretty much.

@ThePressure: think mostly just rec players that play various tournament and sng games, alot of them play a HU hyper while playing random MTT, or waiting for MTT to start i think. they also don't take alot of time, which is great for rec players that just want to play for a bit.

Re: Hyper Turbo HUSNGs to pay for new Apartment

long time no update. ran like ultra **** last days, i lost every single hand i went allin on flop and i always was behind. outkicked with tp, overpair in twopair, overpair in better overpair, no foldequity with semi-bluffs, preflop small pairs in big pairs, again no foldequity with shallow 3bet shoves... just frustrating stuff like that. was down 30BI in 3 days with about 18~ under EV or so.

but yesterday i finally had a good day again with +1100$ at 60s. roll at 4700$ or so i think, i cashed out some money because i'm compleley broke RL and can't afford food anymore this month without it


not hard to have such a nice winning day if you flop stuff like this though. (i do think i should raise this pre most of the time vs limp though!) third flopped straight flush lifetime, 2nd time i stacked villain
