Thanks for your input! I don't have lots of accounts scattered all over the poker networks since I have been kind of settled in and used to microgaming and focused my games there. By doing this I have also gained some vip levels and even met some of the company workers in live tournaments which has kind of resulted in me being a loyal customer.

I did try some other networks in the past like everest etc. but quickly abandoned them because of the software. Seems like solid info so I am def going to take a closer look at some new sites now.

I will take look at that book ty. Yes I understand this but to my understanding I have been using the charts in only situations where it shouldn't matter what his calling range is. Before I am at that point I am at least trying to do exactly what you are saying. I understand that unexploitable-most profitable concept as well, the hard part is to determine where the line goes. I will read that book so maybe it there is something to clarify the situation.

Yeah, at least one thing for sure is I need to work on my game. I am embarassed to say and at the same time not afraid to admit that I haven't been studying the game as much as I should/could have. I am hoping to change that step by step and some of the first baby steps was to open an account here to sort things out. I do not have an account on Husng.com and haven't read those articles yet, will look into those. Yeah guess the problem lies in that for the most parts I have been focusing in HU and watching videos and hand histories mainly from those.

I am having a bit of hard time to answer your questions about all those pf/postflop decisions. Guess for PFR I am generally opening a lot of hands up to 100% if the villain seems to be willing to fold a lot. Some like to play a little looser to see the flop so my first adjustion will then be either increase the size of my pf raise or then pick slightly better hands and valuebet/call thinly.

How to adjust against 15% 3bet?: This is very hard to answer in hu sng's since it has so much to do with stack sizes in the 3bet situation and possibly a leak of mine.

If I were to play hu cash games against a guy 3betting 15% I would at first recognize that there is a lot or some air in his range. I do not see a guy who is 3betting 15% as a big time maniac but not exactly a nit either. Would cathegorize it as pretty standard.

After realizing this my next step is to try and get some idea of how much air/fold equity there is exactly. To further clarify I mean that there are almost as many possibilities to 3bet 15% as there are players (some might 3bet top 15%, some AA-QQ/AK + rest any two etc.) Trying to keep the reply short so in general I assume he wont be playing for stacks without holding at least 77+AQ+ which makes up for 6% -> 40% of his 3bet range so I can assume he will be folding a certain amount to 4bets.

-> It's possible to come up with a profitable 4betting range of valuehands/bluffs.

Next step is I guess to basicly start 4betting him and see his reaction to this (call with crap, fold, shove, slowplay...) Against a fish who shoves any two we will be looking forward to bluff less and widen the valuerange, against a fish who folds too much we will be bluffing more and guess against a calling station i will be bascily just looking to get him to valuetown.

Atc can do depending more of the gameflow (even though I personally try to pick some good Ax blockers or some nice looking suited cards.)

Ofc I am not looking forward to move all in holding these cards so sizing and stack sizes need to be suitable for the occasion. Purpose is always to apply pressure for the villain, forcing him to do the mistake before we do and possibly/hopefully tilt him in the process or reduce his game to pushing buttons with having the general feeling of uncomfortness.
But guess against general players in that situation I can 4bet them at least 20-25%.

Actually what I mean't was that I am taking the superfishes down for obvious reasons and do good against the better regs because I feel I understand their game better and recognize their abilities of leveling and feel that I usually do well in those d*ck swinging contests.

Tilt is definitely a factor. I've always had issues in booking a loosing day and more than once I've found myself staring at the monitor after I've lost 15-20 all ins in a row and thinking I must be the unluckiest player ever born. Then after playing countless hours of poker I really should just learn to get some sleep and not play more. Good instructions that have been so hard to follow in the past

I haven't made a decision to play strictly HUSNG. I am still playing mainly hu, shorthanded and tournaments and will likely continue to do so. I just like to switch between different poker forms and furthermore I am an pokeraddict and like to have some constant action while I am waiting for players or have plans on going somewhere shortly and have time for some sng action only. I have always felt that the more all-around player you are it will have a positive effect on other poker forms also. Lastly it's about the ego as well. As a personality outside the tables I have always enjoyed to achieve something which is hard. Just to test my limits and to prove to others who thought I couldn't do it.

Would still like to make some cash in those

I haven't really thought about getting myself a coach since I feel I couldn't get a lot out of it when I feel I am not even able to ask the right questions.
I think I will start from what has come up in this thread and take another look at it at somepoint in the future. Also I used the term nl400 in my first post to briefly give some idea where I think I stand in poker. I have played those limits in past (and will play them in the future also) but at the moment, as I am still a student I have spent a lot of my winnings just to improve my standards of living and currently have brm reserved for playing lower.

You don't need "the right questions" to get a HH reviewed, or to watch videos. Def. get a coach since you seem to be able to afford it. If you've been trapped in a certain style, you'll need someone objective to look at your game -- it'll be harder to do by yourself imo.

Best of luck

Look at the lower end of that range - do you really think 53s is an unexploitable shove 10bb deep? If he calls us with 62o we're behind. According to the Sklansky-Chubukov table, that is an exploitable shove at as little as 1.83bb deep. The key about the Nash chart is that the range as a whole is unexploitable. That doesn't apply to every single hand. For endgame results, assign ranges you think villain will call with and calculate what hands are +EV to shove against this range.

About that table: it says the maximum stack depth we can shove a hand and have it still be +EV even if our opponent calls with the exact optimal range vs your specific hand, with stack depths in small blinds. For example, J5s can be shoved at 7bb stack depths and it's guaranteed to be better than folding. These #s need to be taken with a grain of salt, of course, but the one fact you can take from this is that if the chart tells you a shove is profitable at a certain stack depth, you should never be folding it pre, as shoving will always be a better option. (obviously things like minraising could be even better options to consider, of course)

Coaching isn't just a theoretical discussion about poker / HUSNGs. It normally starts with a general leakfinder. This means you record a session using a screen video capture software like Camtasia and the coach will have a look at your overall game. This includes basic things like preflop ranges (are there inconsistencies?), c-betting on different board textures, bet sizes, play OOP... If the coach would have taken another line in a hand he explains you his thought process. Usually there are left like 15-20 minutes for discussion afterwards. If anything wasn't clear to you just ask. There are no wrong questions. Following sessions can be more specific, e.g. about endgame, preflop play...

I think a HUSNG-membership + a coach would be a really good investment in your case.

Tips:

As already mentioned: Watch some videos from different coaches first to decide which one is right for you.

Send a session with interesting / difficult spots, not one where most things where "standard", you played well and ran like god...

If you have any reads on the opponent include them (simply write them down in a text file). Adding a list of the specific spots that troubled you + your thoughts helps. Don't make it too long and add the time when those situations occur in the video.

Don't record your whole desktop + a small table. Make it big enough so that the coach can easily see all the relevant things like stack / bet sizes, hole cards, board... When the coach renders the video again with his audio commentary it will lose some quality. If you use Camtasia disable the "smart focus" option.

While watching the video the coach sent you (maybe twice) take notes about things that aren't clear to you. You can bring them up in the discussion on MSN, skype...

Sorry to hear OP, I hope you will turn things around.

Just one thing: 10% rake @ ongame isn't as bad as it seems, if you take rakeback into consideration.
