and CRAI on the flop.

so Heads up I absolutely never have less then 100 BB??? so what does that chart do for someone like me?

basically nothing
nice wallpaper
play cash.

effective stacks before or after the blinds are posted? i never know, and it makes a big difference when stacks are very short

after

before

ok now i'm even more confused

It's before. Look at the stacks before any blinds are posted.

e.g. 50/100 blinds

SB (button) : 1600
BB: 1400.

You should be looking at the figure of 14bb effective stacks.

You only need it when playing HUSNG's

I tried thinking really hard about ranges and the villian showed up with 23. Geuss its just unlucky.

Thanks for the informative post.

BB: t2020 M = 26.93
Hero (BTN/SB): t980 M = 13.07

Pre Flop: (t75) Hero is BTN/SB with Q T
Hero raises to t100, BB calls t50

Flop: (t200) 7 2 Q (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets t130, BB raises to t1920 all in

to shinigami: i'm not too excited because of the really dry board but i can't remember folding top pair for <20bb's tbh. Sucks if he has you beat but you're going to see a bunch of weaker Q's there and some strong 7s too.

Thanks!
yeah I called; but then thought maybe it was a bad move....

Are there any good (free) tools or whatever for husngs on ftp? Like shortcut plugins and such.

quick Q: if i ran on 30%roi over 50games @ 5.25s, and im pretty much rolled for the 10s, should i stay down and embrace variance, or its def a move up? I was thinking i should put in much more volume-this one is lollable-, im just thinking if there`s not that much difference between 5s and 10s, i should give a try.. opinions pro con

I'm new to HUSnG and im interested in playing $11 stakes to begin.

Could someone give me a link to a page where it explains what hands should be raised, by how much.. and when to start pushing with what hands when the blinds get X BB's deep

Hi, I am a 6max 100nl player. I have been thinking about switching focus to HU cash games. I am a total novice at HU and I imagine that there are slight differences in bankroll requirements as well as other stuff.
Can anybody please tell me what a decent win rate is at HU and how many Buy in's is required for a given level? Also, what are typical swings at HU, and how many hands do you see per hour two tabling? So many questions...sorry.

You actually see 7x a decent amount here. Sometimes you brick into QJ/QK/Q7 but you see worse Qs and 7x a lot. I'm calling this and feel ok about it.

I played some 10-30 dollar sngs recently at Star, it's not my usual game but i thought i would kinda broaden the perspective and stuff by trying to learn it a bit better.
Anyhow, it went really well when I one tabled. And not only the results (which were good, but over a small sample) but I felt really confident during almost every match I 1-tabled and pretty sure i had a significant edge over my opponents.
However when I tried 2-tabling I think I really just sucked. I never had a solid read on any of my opponents, made several mistakes during almost any of those matches, just bad hasty decisions all around.

I know there are people who play HU well on 4 tables and I just dont see how. HUD doesnt help much because most stats are pretty irrelevant over a sample size of like 30 hands, and I just never have time to properly observe what Villain is doing when I have more than 1 table.
I can comfortably 4-6 table 6-max ring games and 9 table FR (probably more too I just never really bothered to try), but this is beyond me.
Suggestions appreciated.

Ok so villain has been getting rather aggressive.

3x preflop has become his standard raise since blinds went up to 40/80.

Before that he either limped or minraised.

He's raising 80% of his hands pre and has just started raising my limps religiously.

Blinds have just gone up to 50/100.

Throughout the game he's made a lot of moves but always folded to a raise both pre and on the flop.

SB: 1,795
Hero (BB): 1,205

Pre-Flop: (150) 8 K dealt to Hero (BB)
SB raises to 300, [color=red]Hero ???

Given villains wide raising range can i push this here?

yes

sooo...

srry

There's basically no difference between 5s and 10s so yeah have a shot if it doesn't work out you can always drop back down.

However I reckon you'll be fine.

1) HU has more swings imo than 6max in general, depending on your playstyle a normal session can have 3-4 BI swings or sometimes a lot more like 6-8 BI swings, so idk what buy-in rule you follow for 6max (i used to use 20 buy ins for micro 6max when i played it) but i'd want probably at least 30 buyins at HU, and i'd feel better if i had around 40-50, but as long as you're willing to move down at a certain point you should be ok

2) I think a decent/good winrate at 6max is somethin maybe like 4-6 ptbb/100, at HU i'd say the equivalent is something like 8-12 ptbb/100...just my opinion

3) as far as hands/hr, i think if you & opponent are playing quickly you can get around 250+ hands/hr on a single table...not for sure exactly on this tho, it's def faster than 6max tho

Vilain is loose passive pre and post flop.
He raised 25% of his buttons during the match: I called very few of them (therefore I am not sure if he is aware of the whole cbetting thing), and I did not 3bet any of them.
What should I do here?
