Hi I'm new to the HU Hyper Turbos(currently playing the 1,5$ BI's) and are trying to build up some decent pf strategy.

What would be a good range to raise when we're sitting in SB in first hand against an unknown?

Right now I just minraise here with like top 70-75% of hands.
Folding the rest.
Am I doing something wrong in not having a call range here?
I tend to always either min-raise or fold through the game, unless one of us is <10 bb's deep, where I start shoving. It's only if I got some passive calling station type I start calling some hands like T8o, 54s, J7o and others with bad showdown value.

Raise close to 100% from SB vs unknown on the first hand.

i used to play close to 100 first hand, but i find doing like 70-80% works out anyway because when i do fold, i get a ton of credit for folding the first hand and i can raise hands 2-6 pretty easily or 3b with credit.

honestly, u should be raising 100% till ur opponent gives a reason not to (and im not just talking about the first hand)

Show aggression early 100% of time, if villain fights back, mix up limps/raises with the odd fold, if villain is also aggressive early become a calling machine / shove top hands.

This is totally exploitable and i dont recommend, ive been feeling that something along 50-65% is optimal. When villain calls you get to the flop with pretty strong range and he will fold more since he will see youre opening a strong range so your getting alot of fold equity too.
