Hey guys I searched the forums but wasn't able to find the answer to this question: Yesterday I tried to sit at 2 empty tables of HU cash 100NL and stars said that my limit on sitting at # of HU tables is 1. Is this something new, or is this only for me? Thank you.

your only allowed to sit 1 empty table per stake. you can sit a 20-50bb table and a 40-100bb table but not 2 of the same ones

Hey guys,

Quick question here. Yesterday i played that hand (like a donk) but can't figure out when i was supposed to fold.
Would you give up Turn or River ? The guy was pretty good for 2/4cents but i only played a few hands with him at that point.

I recently staked a husng reg (avg. bi $88 roi 5% over 4-5k game sample) for 20nl hu to try switching. He initially won 5 bi, but I watched a vid of his where he played pretty terribly and I predicted he would be having trouble soon. He constantly did moves without rhyme nor reason like c/c tp no draw on a monotone board and then donk the 4flush turn. He then went on a 15 bi downswing over 4k hands at 20nl, all vs. fish. I've had him doing EV calcs, analyzing hands, and watching vids as he seems like a smart guy (has experience in abstract mathematics, + was a winner at husng) and I'm hoping I can turn him into a winner. He is also willing to drop down to 10nl. Anyone have any suggestions? Do you think it's just a matter of time before someone with his background 'gets' it?

I was a winner at the 100s and 200s for HU sngs and a friend of mine wanted to do the same thing with me and get me playing HU cash. I started at nl 100. I am mainly bumhunting and am now playing up to nl600. I started breakeven over 26k hands. Just takes time

Preflop: ok
Flop: float ok: because he's not agressor and donkbets i give gim credit for a Q or a K
Turn: might be ok, depends on his image. He might shoot 2nd barrel bc you just called him and might be drawing, but ppl don't second barrel a lot in micro's. If he has a weak queen he'd prolly check it but a call is not a big mistake though.
River: fold, clear valuebet

How do you guys cope emotionally with bad days in the HU world? I'm pretty new to HU and after a decent couple weeks I kept getting coolered over and over again today and it was pretty deflating. Thanks.

practice. Just got to be level headed and know when to walk away and when its not your day. I use to punch walls and throw laptops but over time I learned that it was stupid and -EV
