Hey guys, just recently moved from 6max to HU NL cash to a site where almost everyone that sits is a (usually) unknowed fish and stacks range from 20 to 40ish bbs.

My strategy so far as been to open to 3x until the 12ish bbs, around 80% of my range, not having much stats for defending since there is alot of limping from the sb, would you advice start raising the limps (even though people rarely fold) with some medium strength hands?

What would you 3bet shove at 20 bbs? I was using the standard AQ+, 77+ but i think it's too nitty.
At around 12bbs im doing A7s+, A9o+, KT+, QJ+, 44+.

Also being this shallow semi-bluffing can be costly since you get to the river with them having little money behind, making bluffing rivers pretty hard, do you guys think playing a little more fit or fold would be better?

I do feel i play alot more passive then i would in 6max, which troubles me since i find myself cbetting and giving up (or letting them catch up) on turns and rivers.

I have some more questions to post but this will do for now, thanks in advance to everyone

Hey, its cool that you have all these questions and seem excited.

Unfortunately you've touched on a lot of broad subjects, so you are unlikely to get the answers you're looking for in this subsection due to the time and effort it would take to respond. Also with the recent changes on Pokerstars to the HU format this sub-forum has lost a bit of its passion.

Don't despair there are plenty of resources out there for learning. Indeed the undisputed HU heavyweight champion of the world Doug Polk (WCGrider) has recently started a website called UpswingPoker. I think its particular framework is nearly exactly what you're looking for based on your questions.

Obviously there is also the impressive Runitonce website which you may find useful.

There's also coaches roaming around in the 2p2 ecosystem who I'm sure would be happy to help if you can find them.

(sidenote: in future if you try and address only one topic at a time in your questions you're likely to get more hits)

good luck
