Anytime before the 20th would work too, I just really hope to be playing WSOP events on the 15th through the 20th.

Cause obviously it's all about what works for me.

Primo,

Assuming bankroll is not an issue, over how many games and at what ROI would you consider someone "qualified" to move up a level, specifically from $115's to $230's.

Example, if you are 5% or better over the last 500 games at $115 and BR is no issue, do you think it would be appropriate to "take a shot"?

Excellent Well!

Primo, please describe your modus operandi and how your M.O. evolved over the years in terms of reviewing your sessions and HHs. In other words, how exactly do you analyze your HHs to get better as a player? Thank you!

Hi Primo, have read the entire well and it is completely awesome, thanks for taking the time out to do this you are a class act.

Questions:

1) Do you think there is any merit at all in using a HUD for HUSNG or is it not necessary? I gather most pros don't bother with one.

2) Favourite English soccer team?

Thanks again man.

I think a 5-6% ROI over a sample of 500-1k games is def. reason to try to move up to the next level and at least see how you feel there, so yea, I think it would absolutely be appropriate to 'take a shot'

It was at a peak prolly 9 months ago, since then I dont usually review or analyze my HHs, which is probably a mistake on my part, but I just like to select random HHs, and go through a few per week, and find spots that give me alot of trouble, or where I was getting run over by people, identify the fact that they were exploiting me in some way, and then think over different ways of countering that. Similar to when im staking off or getting in bad spots too light, think about how to avoid that, etc.

.

This is going to be a very general question and I don't know if you're going to bother answering it:

What kind of PF ranges would you use at each blind level if you were new and starting at 2$ HU SNG's?

I dunno, start somewhere around 70% if your starting at low stakes, tighter wont be that bad at those stakes (higher you might open 100%), and then as levels go up it's all very opponent specific, if you dont know what 70% is, i'd randomly guess and say something like A2+, K2+, Q6+, J7+, most connectors, gappers, and 2 gappers, and obv all pairs, somewhere around there

who's your fav smurph?

wtf? grampa? or the small one? I totally dont remember any of them, and def. not their names, I think there was a young-ish cool one that was the man, but dont remember ;p

Remember playing some HUSNGs vs me back in the day?

haha, pretty sure I remember the name

Primo, I'm from the UK and play primarily on pokerstars - I'm going to put money on other sites to game select better at 200NL HU - which top 3 sites would you recommend in your opinion? Taking into account joining bonuses etc. I realise you specialise in SNGs but i just want to get an idea of the fishyness of the site - I hear ones which are linked to book makers are pretty gambley.

Also what kind of laptop or computer are you using?

Thanks man! GLP.

just a dell Inspiron w/1680 x 1050 resolution, pretty solid laptop tho. However I really can't help with your question, because your (luckily) from the UK, which means you have access to a TON of fishy sites that I dont have access to (and therefor dont pay attention to), so ask other Europeans on the fishiness of iPoker, IPN, PartyPoker, etc., etc. in todays state. Sorry I can't help!

Thanks for the well, I picked up some great stuff already.

Can you give some pointers how you determine which % of hands you play OOP (by calling, raising) when your opponent raises (he never calls) IP to 2x / 2.5x / 3x and this 50 a 85% of the time in a low stakes HUSNG?
Can you give an opinion how that range would be influenced if you meet another opponent that plays the same % of hands with the same other circumstances but now he uses a mix of limping and raising?

More specific:
What do you think of the following (by calling / raising) when your unknown opponent raises (he never limps) to 3x IP 70% of the time in the first level of a low stakes HUSNG when stacks are equal?
- any pocket pair
- any broadway
- A4s+
- A8o+
- 109s and 98s

Answers will be appreciated, so there can be more confidence related to the result when another OOP range-creation attempt is made.

In my experience, the euro sites are not that much fishier just tned to tilt the ** out of you with their software. Used to play on prima a bit before they bustoed and stole my money, and have played on iPoker a bit but that is even nittier than full tilt. Some of the lesser known sites are quite fishy, betfair, ladbrokes etc.... but the software thends to be pretty bad.

who did you stake? will you pick me up at the airport? (kidding, i can just take a cab)

rofl I wont allow it, if you fly in after im there, I forbid cab ribes, FORBID IT SKILLED

Pick Skilled up in a rickshaw IMO

Oprah, Barbara Walters, your wife. You gotta fu*k one, marry one, kill one, go! ...

Primo, why do you deserve a well? What makes you think you could ever do anything against real players like skilled, jballer, tsoprano, and the live pros with seven figures in winnings?

congrats on your finish and sorry you busted. it was a great run and based on what I saw and heard you played amazing, including clearly outplaying me

mersenneary you are such a prick, hes just doing a well because he wants to give back to the 2plus2 community and help other people. Surely the responses and questions hes got prove that there is a demand by 2plus2ers for it. Stop being a scrouge.
