We didnt play that many games but in 5ks its easy for a small number of games to dwarf your profit. I also started playing on Stars during this time and moved most of my online br there. That made me underrolled on FTP which thru normal variance swings would bust my account repeatedly. That got embarassing and frustrating and I would tilt and play badly etc etc....I also lost my confidence on FTP after a few thousand games and even though I was doing well on Stars, I just had no confidence on FTP. I can't understate how importance confidence is. Edges are obviously small in HU SNGS and confidence can easily make the 2-3% crucial equity difference.
Soo true, I often have confidence battles in websites and constantly am moving my BR from PS to FTP, FTP to PS.
My questions: There was a poster a few months back I think his SN was Im23nIboughta350khouse and he was keeping his identity secret but was answering HUSNG questions for all of us and also claiming he was the best HUSNGer around. My guess is it was you but I doubt your that young, anyway was that you?
Also, the WCOOP $25,000 HU event in 6 days looks like it has such an easy field with moneymaker and elky and all those PS pros that probably suck HU(no offense if they read this lol), how excited are you to play it, and do you do anything to prepare for such an event like look over all old HH of some of the registered players on the list?
