What's Been Happening At HUSNG.com?

As 2010 comes to a close, a great deal of things have been going on at HUSNG and even more will continue to happen as 2011 starts.

Free Videos

Some of our recent free videos (some videos require free login):

mjw006 Plays the $100 Turbos On PokerStars

Barewire and Skates discuss moving from heads up cash to heads up sng

Fydor reviews a match he played at the $230 turbo level

mjw006 plays an $11.50 turbo on FTP

Cog Dissonance plays a pro at the $102 super turbo level

Cog Dissonance introduces players to super turbo heads up sngs

RyPac13 reviews a student's play at the $10.50 level

RyPac13 discusses leading the flop OOP in a raised pot

You can view all of our free videos on our free heads up poker videos page.

Standard Membership

The standard membership library continues to grow, and is now over 175 instructional videos for heads up sng players to take advantage of. The cost of the membership is $25 per month or $60 for 3 months and it allows users to access to all these videos with no strings attached (no recurring membership, no additional fees, no limitations, no DRM).

Some recent videos that have proven extremely popular to members are mjw006's beating the mid stakes series (parts 1, 2, 3a and 3b are all available to standard members). A longer and more in depth super turbo strategy guide by Cog Disonance, RyPac13's Aggressive Leakfinder Series (parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 ) as well as recent leakfinders by Fydor_8 and ITRIED2WARNU have been popular among standard members. Mersenneary also made part 1 of his statistical analysis series available to standard members.

We've also made it even easier to figure out what to watch, both for new members and those looking for specific content. Our video planning guide is a work in progress, but should already be effective for low and mid stakes players.

Look for specific concept oriented videos available to standard members in January and beyond.

Premium Membership

Our premium content continues to grow and improve.

Mersenneary had a 100k month with an average stake of $300. His recent videos have continued to receive rave reviews.

Look for parts 2 and 3 of his Statistical Analysis series (HEM/PT database discussion designed to help players get the most out of their data) in January, only available to premium members.

ITRIED2WARNU finished his Reg Wars series, which has gone over very well. It contains matches exclusively played against tougher opponents, "regulars." Videos against shortsharpshock, haiducf, rotarysb, irontamer and sthoro are featured, along with another 4+ matches against other winning regulars.

HokieGreg has been busy making videos this last week. Look for at least 5 videos from him in January, mostly available to premium members.

xSCWx has also been making premium content lately, mostly at the $500+ levels. He recently made a video against Jungleman12.

Skates made his final live play video, a high stakes heads up cash video where he ran $10,000 up to $50,000 in one single session. Play takes place at the $100-200 and $200-400 cash levels.

Look for at least one new higher stakes contributor to the premium section of the site in January.

Community


The community on HUSNG has been growing steadily and at a more rapid pace in recent months. Forum participation is up as is blogging. All members receive access to the member forums, where they can post hand histories and discuss strategy with coaches. With over 1500 hand review forum posts and 2800 general strategy posts, the forum is a helpful and efficient place to visit. Many of our members and coaches find the time to post both on this great forum as well as the HUSNG forums.

Blogs

Blog activity is up and will continue to happen regularly.

In the last three weeks there have been blog posts by regular mid to high stakes players such as ITRIED2WARNU (2 blogs), Brilliant27, Barewire, FrankThomas8, BCM11, Fydor_8, Cog Dissonance, Ricestud (4 blogs), Mersenneary, mjw006 (3 blogs) and jaws washington/joe pulaski (11 blogs).

Our blog list can be found here and we'll do our best to help encourage an environment where regular heads up sng players tell you what is going on in their world. Blogs are free to start for members and non members.

Other Topics of Interest

We successfully ran a low buyin entry heads up tournament on PokerStars recently. It was open to both members and non members, and we also added $100 to the prize pool. Over 40 players participated and extra prizes were available to members and qualifying non members. The structure was a 40bb structure, exclusive to our tournament and it made for an exciting tournament, with plenty of game play and skillful demonstrations. It was also reasonably time efficient, as it finished in just under 70 minutes. Look for another tournament in January, similar to this one and open to anybody that wishes to play.

If you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to send us a suggestion. As a specialty site, we have the advantage of being able to work very closely with many entities and reaching players with a relatively personal experience. Your emails are usually received and replied to by site owners, your posts and suggestions usually answered and discussed publicly by coaches, so take advantage of this if you would like.

You have to download videos. Lets say you want to watch Mjw006 Free Low Stakes Heads Up Video. Just click on the text which says "Video Download" and save it to your computer.

We use paypal as our primary method of payment. Users have been able to, at times, get money onto paypal via many payment processor/ewallets.

I'm sending you a PM, please disregard any other PMs you get about the site.

If anybody needs information on anything like payment, membership or account status, please PM me directly, posting here asking somebody to PM you may result in users attempting to scam you and nobody wants that to happen. Thanks.

Thumbs up Re: ░▒▓██▓▒░ HUSNG.com Open Thread (Videos and more) ░▒▓██▓▒░

Got myself a premium membership a couple of weeks ago. Loving the videos Great site!
Currently looking through all of merc's vids. Really love the way he's teaching and he seems like an ultra cool guy (unless it's just a formal coaching persona (not that it matters anyway) )

Anyways, highly recommend it for everyone looking to improve their HU game. It's also ultra cool that you can just download videos to your computer at will. The investment is easily worth it.

Thumbs up!

First of all: Awesome that you do this

The video below is listed under the free videos itt, but I can't seem to download it?

Which membership plan should I have in order to see the other videos in this series?

Hi ADT,

I guess the direct link doesn't work. You can find the video on this page (we'll release it on the main site soon, we just made it an initial exclusive for an affiliate site to send users to).

Cog's Super Turbo Video is on this page.

As for the super turbo question, basically the standard membership should give you plenty to start (the $25 option). Cog did a 5 part super turbo series, covering various buyin levels from $2 to $200. The first 4 videos of the series are available to standard members.

In addition to those 4 videos, Cog also has 2 other super turbo videos in the standard membership.

For the premium, Cog has 1 super turbo video, but a majority of Mersenneary's 20+ videos on the site use super turbo games to explain end game and shorter stack strategy. So there's quite a bit of quality content for premium members that are interested in super turbo application videos as well.

You can also look at which videos each instructor has made here (the link should take you to a list of Cog's videos, from most recent to older): HERE

Thanks for the response. I'll look more into the membership later today. I think the standard should do it for me for now.

Re: ░▒▓██▓▒░ HUSNG.com Open Thread (Videos and more) ░▒▓██▓▒░

We do a monthly tournament where we add $100 to a prize pool (entry fee is usually $5 to keep out freerollers that will enter no buyin tournaments by the thousands).

We'll likely have one a week from this Saturday (or two weeks) and everybody here will know when it happens.

We're going to do the 40bb starting stacks again with 5 minute blind increase. It worked out to about 15 minutes per round max, which is a really good time for efficiency (and still plenty of room for skill).

I'll be looking at the home game feature to see if there's anything we can do with that. On first glance it looks a little overhyped to me, but I haven't thought much about it, so that view is pretty soft.
