Hi guys

I'm having a bit of a recurring problem in the low stakes HUSNG's.

I am ahead in the majority of matches until I get to about the 20-25bb level and then my opponent always ends up getting back in by becoming hyper aggressive/on tilt and I just go fully card dead, getting 94o, 53o on tap etc. I'm definitely not being assertive enough and generally become too hesitant and passive. It's definitely not my natural pace of play and would appreciate any tips on how to apply myself better at that stack depth, how I should be adjusting my ranges etc.

It seems to be the case that my opponents ranges are significantly bluff heavy at that stack depth, I'm getting c-bet a ton more and some opponents are just floating me with any two cards, but without two decent cards in my hand I'm not sure what to do about it.

Any tips appreciated!

It's hard to in in husngs when you're card dead.

That said, it seems much more likely that you're not as consistently card dead as you think, and should instead be focusing on playing the cards you do have better. What you should change in your game is a pretty open question, and there's just not nearly enough info here to give useful feedback.

If you genuinely think you're getting raised and barreled into with a ton of garbage/pure air, you're gonna need to start clicking call with more hands like weak pairs at some point and should consider adding in some bluffraises etc. But I think it happens less than you think and I've found that the first key to winning in husngs is just figuring out how to correctly play your value hands.
