edit: jkjk (to anybody who doesn't know), Micky08 and Radeh are the two new people in my 6 month staking/coaching deal, so hopefully they'll both be super baller ASAP

Hey man, how's it goin! Just after reading your entire well & 'ave got some major tips already, so cheers!
I've just started HU s'ng's & was very intrigued by a conversation you had with a previous 'poster' where you suggested he 'work' at his game at the 30-20, 20-10, 10 or less BB levels, & shove/re-shove moves. If you could elaborate on this I'd really appreciate it. Specifically maybe:
(1) the nuances between the different levels;
20-30bb is super player dependent, vs alot of people you will want to be MR'ing pre here alot cause they will fold their BB often, others limp + stab flops, and some you will raise a tighter range cause you will expect the to jam alot, so alot of this depends on your reads on your opponent going into this level
10-20bb , there isn't a ton of room to work with, so I end up limping a good portion of my middling cards (and if my opponent is super aggro vs me i'll limp in my upper ranges as well), and I will MR some air and some big hands in hopes they fold their BB often. When im getting around 10-12bb I start to open-shove alot of hands I might not like them to call OOP, like A2o and stuff like that, cause they put me in many tricky spots postflop
<10bb will be shove or fold, shove alot if your opponent is very tight, and tighten up your range a bit (but still shove pretty frequently) if they call very wide
(2) determining shove or re-shove moves; &
Math and knowing your opponent tendencies. There are a few threads around here (one by insane_Steve) on reshoving at 20bb, and i've made some videos on it
(3) software 'you' might practice on outside of the playing domain.
Fool around with Pokerstove to find ranges and plug them into some different equations in spots to refine some of the trickier spots in your game, but other than that there isnt much HUSNG software out there
As an aside what are the major differences between regular & turbo games, besides from the obvious that is (before a smart ass tries to enlighten me). Getting more active early…..the end game & such.......
Just the edges you can find, in reg speeds you can find very big edges and have a big winrate, where as in turbos your forced to take smaller edges but can get in many more games per hour
Anyway, cheers in advance & best of luck on both the marriage & tables front!!!
Thanks alot, much appreciated

Hi, do you have any experience related to kickback bonus whoring, initial deposit bonus whoring, monthly recurring bonus bonus whoring?
no, sorry
If yes, when would you say, initial deposit / monthly recurring bonus bonus whoring becomes more profitable then kickback bonus whoring?
If yes, when would you say, rakeback becomes more profitable then initial deposit / monthly recurring bonus?
Maybe rather stupid questions ... but yeah ...
No problem, I wish I had more expertise in this to help you out

yea, It was alot different, like I feel some players were out of their element a little bit. In my match vs skilled I kind of ran him over, which obv would never be the case online, I think alot of players tighten up their game a bit live, or maybe overthink some decisions that might be automatic online. Bballer88 played pretty sick aggro in our match in the final 16, but I think I adapted well. Long term online I think both him and skilled would obv have a big edge on me, I just happened to get the best of them live. And yea... I do think I should have been able to win, maybe I should have played a bit more passive when I had doudney down to <half his stack, sigh... I would crush Duthie next round too... fml... gotta do it another year I guess

What kinds of qualities do you look for in a PA?
been discussed... use the search feature fish
Why did you say you were going to stop posting on 2p2 when it was obviously false even when you said it?
I havent been playing much lately, I dont mind being on 2p2 when im not grinding, I just have a problem w/2p2 and chat stuff when im in my daily grind, and it's distracting me / cutting into my hourly
What have you done to try to fulfill your "no posting" promise?
play less... to enable me to post an equivalent amount to before and not notice that im not posting while playing anymore
