Any hints what tracking tool currently is best for 6max hyper-turbo SNGs on stars? I am still useing HM1 because HM2 seemed to have lots of bugs and crashed often once it has been released. Is HM2 now maintening on a level with HM1 (preformance wise) but does grant one some extra features or is it worth it to stick to HM1 for the moment?

15$ 6m Hyper turbo bubble

so this guy pushing from btn is a tight random (15/10), and the BB is a winning regular player

after analyzing this hand in the 6 man hyper turbo model in sngwiz, I was given a calling range of 99+, AQ+, which looks nice to me.

this regular guy in the BB snapped it off with a8o, is that standard stuff in hypers or a huge mistake?

    Hello folks, I'm back playing poker (recreationally) after a few years of real life getting in the way. I used to play Paradise Poker $5 games but have vowed to give stars a go this time round.

    I get the sense that games have gotten tougher, ROI's are down, smaller player pool, UIGA etc. but specifically wanted to know if there is any real difference between 3.50's and 7's at stars. Bankroll will support either and I wont be massively multi-tabling.

    Any thoughts from regs at either level much appreciated!

    Uhhhh, if you're serious... shove in under 1.1 seconds or slowroll karma hits you hard. (AK < K2 on 222 flop for sure.)

    Well I've pushed and owned, but my doubt here is: it's not better avoid a showdown? considering the fact that my stack will make almost no FE here and stay on the game?

    thank you guys for the coments!!!

    I want some feedback on this, probably quite basic hand. I get KJ in CO, I opt to raise instead of shove. 150 seemed to little reward. His fold to steal was very low but I did see that he had the tendency to fold to cbet on dryish boards and would happily get it in with any of my cards hitting. Ace on the flop kinda bother me but I still took a shot. And then I shut down

    Should I perhaps have gone AI pre? if not, check behind on flop? I have a feeling I made a mistake here

    Your only mistake is cbetting too big. On dry boards even donks are not pealing very wide to a 200 cbet. The minraise preflop is the best line and you played it pretty well. I am folding the river too! nh.
    Beginner/Basic Question Thread Quote
    08-23-2012 , 02:25 PM
    Minraise pre is usually best, just cbet like 177 or something though. The flop is A82r, if he doesn't have Ax he can really only call with 89s T8s etc hands (if he defends those!) and it snap check/folding rest of his hands. and if he does have 8x we give ourselves great price on seeing turn/river for cheap

    Prob next best bet is 6m STs. If you can mix stakes upto $20, you can probably get full set of either 9m/6m if you play both turbos and reg speeds, but it will probably take you 30-45 minutes to load tables.

    willow if you're willing to mix 6m and 9m it's plenty easy to get 15-20 tables up playing $5-10s (20s run fair bit too, but 30s not so much).

    Super turbos are a great way to fill in the the start/ending of sessions

    As played cbet less like someone said earlier. 12 bb is too much to go allin pre there but best option there is fold pre in most cases. Risk of being dominated if you hit (52 vpip doesn´t necessarily shove aj etc there), too big part of ur stack wasted to pre raise and cbet. So many bad scenarios out there. How to play midpair, how to play gutshots etc facing donkbet. Too tricky to do multitabling imo.
