What kind of software should I use to keep track of HUSNG and to review them. I know of poker tracker and HEM but was wondering if there is a more simple/cheap program that i can use?

Why minraise and no raise to 200?

What would be a good range for limping late in husngs.

I find my self on the button when we are around 15-25ish bbs deep with decent hands that i don't want to fold, but i don't want to raise vs aggressive villains because they will end up shoving over. suited stuff, q-9, 10-9s, k-8 and random stuff like that.

raising to 200 might be the best play. but there are some good reasons not to. it creates a big pot when your hand is not that strong. if villain calls, the pot will be 400 chips. that is almost 40% of the small stack! the situation post flop is most likely to be unclear. your edge as a better player won't help you in a situation like this. it might actually work against you because you may be too quick to fold.

a minraise will keep the pot more small, still give villain a chance to fold, and make it a lot less painful to fold post flop if you miss.

does that sound right?

I still raise with my good hands, usually min though. I'm folding more than when stacks are larger. hands like q5 and stuff. I don't really believe in trapping. I'll start limping good drawing hands against alot of opponents though - t9s and such. And fwiw I'm raising 88 and snap calling a push. KJ prolly not unless villains really shoving wide.

Hmmm, without a solid read I'd check that river. Can't really tell if we're ahead or behind. So, imo, best to check it and see what he called us down with. Maybe we take the pot, maybe not, but this will be valuable information without costing us too much.

Thanks, well anyway I ended up betting and it turned out he checked the flush on the river :-(

But I stacked him 10 hands later ;-)

Classic "How many hands" question? Can I claim badassitude (assuming solid winrate, obv) at 10K? 5K? 50K?

Also, if a guy's raising 50% of his buttons, does it behoove you to pretty much just 3bet the top 25% of your hands?

At what point do you quit a table when you're winning? I've been playing HU cash recently and have gotten up to $100 a few times at 30NL. I ended up losing half my stack twice to due bad beats/bad play and was just wondering should I just move to another table whenever I win a certain amount or just keep playing at the same table?

That being said, if sitting on a 333BB stack makes you uncomfortable (and therefore playing suboptimally), sure, go ahead and quit. No shame in that.

I think there's a Mike Caro quote that goes something like "People always ask after a loss, "Why didn't you quit when you were ahead two buy-ins?". Why didn't I quit? Because you never hear that same question when you're up 5 buy-ins at the end of the night!"

is there any merit in playing < 100bb stack players?
on my site there are alooot of ppl who sit with as low as 20bb.

at 100NL, by the avg time I take their stack i win like only 14$, cause the rest went to the rake. and when the roles are reversed and i double them up, often i can not make any profit anymore whatever i do cause the rake will exceed 20$ before i stack them again.

so my question is, is it even profitable to bother playing those guys? even if they suck ridic hard.

what is the minimum xBB you would/should accept to play against?

You need a lot more info to determine that, but i think it's rare to find a player where you can profitably 3-bet 25%

Stars has 5% rake compared to Tilts 10% doesn't it?

It looks like they both cap it at 50 cents, .05 to the $1.00. After poking through the search archives I think I'm gonna go w/ Full Tilt. Plus, I sat and watched a guy on Full Tilt destroy a short stacker for like 5 buy-ins today at lunch.

How quick do you quit someone you may not have an edge against at lower limits.

Say they buy in for a full stack, raise their sb often, 3 bet you plenty and fairly play tight OOP.

Do you contine to play them ? If not how quickly do you quit them ?

With the rake at the level it is at 100nl and below is it worth playing vs. Lars Aggrobot the 40/35/4 from Linkoping for more than like 50 hands ?

I started playing $10 HU sit n goS recently and i realized that they are extremely soft.
At this level what range of hands would you consider calling or pushing all in with early, before blinds are even a factor? How different would this range be in turbos?
