I'm back, bitches!

Hope all is well with you RBJ =). I look at the HUSNG thread about once every 6 months and you just happened to post!

Although I miss some of the good people I met through husng, I don't miss husng's... at all lol.

Hey dude! I've adapted to live poker so I actually like it quite a bit now, but my heart still belongs to online poker. My biggest regret is not staying in touch with a lot of my old online buddies. It's tough to do when you're friendship revolved around skype and suddenly you don't have a reason to use skype anymore.



Got a question for the community. Some friends have been telling me that the husng well is basically all dried up. They were saying that reg speeds are practically non-existant, and that turbo speeds are reg infested at the 100s+. One of them was telling me that 2% roi is very good for turbos. Any validity to this? From what I remember, 7% roi was attainable at turbos. I'm asking regarding both Pokerstars and WPN. Thanks for the help!

2% might be good for turbos if you don't see your cards.

and i have NEVER spun the $600k jackpot

good to see u back mate what u playing live?

I'm on a $22k downswing at the moment playing 5/10 and 10/20. Had to drop down to 2/5 ($1k buyin with lots of straddles, basically 5/10) with the occasional 5/10 when there is a good lineup.

I forgot how much fun online poker is. Instant ****ing action non-stop. Live I am seen as a huge action player, because my background as a husng grinder makes me want to play a million hands. This sometimes gets me into lots of trouble because the most optimal way to play full ring is just to wait for big hands. But with live tells you can really play significantly more hands, and just completely own people in the weirdest spots.

Also live poker is the nuts because of cocktail waitresses. Pro-tip, find a cute waitress and ask for a pen and paper. She will think you are going to ask for her number. Instead, blindside her and draw a Tic-Tac-Toe board and crush her. Proceed to own all of the waitresses at tic-tac-toe and become Alpha of the group. EZ pickings afterwards .

There are actual adults you can beat in games of tic-tac-toe?

I feel like that's more shocking than anything else in your post.

hu4toez?

tic tac hoe

Hehe, elaborate tactics to chase women and an obsession with "owning" people at poker - sounds like RBJ to me Good to see you're doing well buddy (minus the downswing)

Hi,

is there a way to disable this popup when I register a sng?



cheers

Quick question.

I want to improve my cbetting using a GTO solver, Piosolver in my case. Is it enough to just input the flop texture, stack sizes, different SB bet sizings and BB check-raise sizes. I would do this in order to save time.

In other words, if I leave out things like BB donking, turn and river actions for both players, will it give me misinformation of how I should approach the flop?

Leaving out BB donking is (usually) 100% fine. Leaving out turn/river play will completely ruin your solutions since it will force both players to check down these streets. You can use fairly simple later street play, but you need to have at least the bare-bones of a strategy.

I thought that might be the case. Thanks a lot coffee!

I've been away from the scene for... a long time. Can anyone give me a quick synopsis of what's been going on in HUSNGs in the last 5 years? Has it been solved with programs, etc.?

Programs, and players of all levels (winners and losers) are better, but that's pretty much always the case over time.

Still good money around, but that's always the case too. So things are different, but also the same.

I suppose cartel/division system is the biggest change, but that may be dead soon with random lobbies.

Oh, is it already 100% sure that random lobbies will come soon?

not yet. amaya isnt known for doing anything right though.

how can betonline have the lowest traffic of the 3 USA options... ignitions, WPN, chico but the most HU SNG action and its reg speeds lol. Has to be bots?

I believe it's being tested on .es and then it'll go global if no hiccups.

Thanks ChiRy good to see some familiar faces still around. Can you explain what the cartel/division system is?

Will that mean an end to Sharkyscanner and the likes?

At it's best, it's a system that rewards the best players that fight for a place at any given level and puts into place clear requirements for new players to pick off weaker players.

Basically, every decent reg used to take turns instead of face each other, there was no individual reason to reg war because you'd just lose your spot in line and you'd get no weak opponents unless you wait in line and don't face a good player.

Stars didn't have the resources nor interest in changing the lobby system, so eventually regs came up with a group dynamic where the very best players still don't face each other (unless they want to) but they are required to face weaker winning players. So instead of say 250 players refusing to play each other at a level like $60s, you have some of the better 100 players required to face that other 150 players. The result made it harder for regs to move up in stakes (have to win a certain amount of games over a specific sample to get into the groups) but allowed the regs that were inside the group to enjoy more concentrated winnings on average, since they were no longer sharing with nearly as many other players.

At their worst, they were political, unfair, protectionist mechanisms.

I think largely the issues at the $100s and lower that happened in earlier days are gone.

Also, a certain high stakes player dubbed the original high stakes group a cartel, so everyone of course copied. That word was an awful descriptor and has certainly hurt the image of HUSNGs/regulars quite a bit on its own, though the actions of some players did plenty of damage too (too ridiculous of EV requirements, "closing" groups, refusing to dump bad players, etc.).
