He's obviously joking, you can start battling 15s cartel without being a member of the lower divisions first.

I was more commenting on the fact that even lower divisions exist...

There's talk of play money divisions forming. None of the play money regs are willing to sit each other and the sharky line is getting ridiculous.

Sounds kind of silly, but there may be a need for it, some good arguments on both sides. We'll see how it develops.

People thought $1.50s divisions were a joke but look at them now.

I'm looking for somebody who has profit profit on hu turbos, and wants to do live sweats and discuss hands on skype. Im usually "small ball" type of player, so i guess it would be better if u are aggressive player, so we could learn something new from each other. But i also dont mind if u are also small ball type.
I'm playing usually 15s(moved from 7s not long time ago), and this is my graph

Feel free to contact me on PM if u are interested .

going back to the states for a month is brutal... missing online poker more than id thought.

-that call range against OS is much too tight

-you'll not fold against an iso, against isoShove u will, but you need to split that up and estimate winrate in iso pots which will be higher than folding.

-you cant simply take the equity of A2o vs a range and say thats the hands winrate for that situation is. some hands realize more than their equity and some realize less and positional adv plays into that too. so you cant say limp: (bb checks 65% and A2 has 60% equity against that range so 2bb*.65*.60 ) + etc. that doesn't work.

-not sure exactly what some of the things in your formula are but yeah just multiply the frequency of every scenario when you take an action times the amt you win/lose in each of those scenarios:
Limp: (bbchecks%*amt won when he checks) + (bbiso%*amt lost/won when he iso) + (bbisoS%*amt lost when he isoS)

I can pretty much guarantee you A2o is indifferent between L/MR at 25bb in equilibrium and will play a mixed strategy between these 2 options.

I was reading that when HU and <7.8bbs effective on the button shoving Nash is approximately optimal. I was wondering if you guys actually shove Nash <7.8bbs? There are many weaker hands which to me seem too wild when the stacks are too short due to decreasing likelihood we'll get our villain to fold.

For example:

*Nash says 76o can be shoved for 7.8bbs, which to me sounds alright because we have some fold equity, but this also implies it could be shoved for example 4bbs, which sounds more risky since we're probably going to get called.

*Nash says T4s can be shoved for 7.8bbs which already to me sounds risky, and even more so down to say 4bbs due to increased likelihood of being called.


Am I just being too nitty to be skeptical of open shoving hands like these?

remember that for Nash the other option is to fold, so shoving has to only be better than folding (where you just auto loose your SB)

Come up with a presumed range villian is calling with, put it in any program and see for yourself whether or not you could shove given hand vs. that range

Any1 else having problems with sharky license renewal?
Sent the money approx a week ago on skrill, yet i have not received any response and my license expires today.

/e: looks like the payment went to a weird adress on skrill. solved i guess.

i just performed at a Bar Mitzvah over in the statesss

Folding and waiting for monster hands (while you post blinds every hand) at shallow stacks sounds even more risky.
To your T4s example: When you shove deeper you have more fold equity (that's great) but villain's calling range is strong.
At shallow stacks your fold equity goes down but villain's calling range is weaker.

Though I am not a guy lurking in the forums for years,I kinda feel sad that excellent posters from the old days no have dissapeared.
When I see some exquisite posts from guys that had this kind of wisdom 8 years ago is mindbuggling.
Black friday sucks!

is coffeehud still permitted under the new HUD rules? i don't actually have it so i'm not 100% sure on it's capabilities but was of the understanding there were a few stats dynamically displayed based on stack size and also pop up charts both of which are questionable under new rules??

is it even possible for them to tell what HUD you're running though?

was considering purchasing coffeehud obv not if it's no longer legal and concerned how stars will enforce restrictions so other people aren't using it vs me.

just one quick question: if you bought video packages from husng.com
whick package helped you the most?
im considering buying one

I bought chadders' one, but it was ~3 years ago and although it helped me quite a bit at the time, I doubt its very useful nowadays.

I d just buy the most recent one relevant to your skill level and game you play

We've checked with the relevant people and it is permitted, as is our SpinHUD. This is for both PT4 and Holdem Manager with Notecaddy (We don't even have any Notecaddy features that conflict with the new rules).

Any future rules changes, we'll just adjust the HUD to make it comply if necessary.

If you're lower stakes and in hypers, Pbogz video pack is a good one to check out. If you're turbos, Turbo Masters is solid. For spins, Coffee's pack. Other packs can fill other targets for you of course, but those are three of my primary recommendations for you depending on what you're after.

haha, this is so funny that this was bought up recently! I was just going through deleting some of my old PM's on 2p2 to clear space and thought I'd just go back to first page and delete. I ended up spending a couple of hours reading through my first convos on 2p2 which were with Primo, Spamz, A_o_n, sejje, ndoggy etc. It was pretty crazy and humbling reading how much help, time, and advice Bryan in particular gave me back then, and also made me come and have a look through here and came across this, haha. Suffice to say I didn't delete first few pages of PMs.

I'm still playing online fulltime. MTT donk these days and have been doing that since I left husngs 4 and a bit years ago. Tough grind but I still love it.

The old days and sense of community we used to have are sorely missed. It was just so much fun back then (LC Threads were the best, the HU4ROLLZ lol, and the general banter that went on) and from what I hear now it's all about cartels and all that bull****. Doesn't sound like much fun to me.

Radeh is another one who was amazing guy not sure if he's been mentioned. and Nathan (impossible to understand geordie ). And I forget who it was living in SF that was constantly living off rations? always made me laugh.

Hope you guys are all well!

<--- and I still have same avatar from back in the MSN emoji days.

Are any of you Stars regs having constant daily connection issues?I'm disconnecting what seems like every 2nd match for 30sec - 1 min and i'm pretty sure it is not my internet and in fact is a Server problem.I've emailed support and they want a screenshot of my 'Network status' panel,which shows all servers running at 100%,so i'm sure i'll be told it's on my end.Just wanted to check with you guys first to see if anyone else experiencing the same!

I already watched Turbo Masters and Chadder's pack. I play $7 turbos, but will be taking shots at $15 soon. Which video pack do you recommend watching next? Pbogz, eventhough it's on hypers? How useful is it for turbo endgame? Are there any other recent turbo packs out there? Thanks

Could someone mention some advice from Chadders' pack that isn't relevant anymore? What are the biggest differences in population tendencies compared to 3 years ago? (without going into too much detail). I play turbos. Are tendencies in low stakes much different from 3 years ago?

probably better for your to get coaching instead of watching videos these days and i think pbogz is somewhat affordable for your stake an you could probably beat 15s/30s not long afterwards i think
