Hi guys,

After 2 years of losing I've finally realised I can beat the heads-up game at the $20-$30 level.

I want to start playing a little bit more however and need advice on heads up display software (only briefly read about it but never used it).

I play on the iPoker network..can anyone recommend a program that I can use that will help my game? Obviously the big part of heads-up is working out your opponent and that often takes me 5 or 10 minutes so I feel having a program with real-time stats plus stats from prior games would be a big edge.

Any recommendations and also thoughts on whether the investment would be worth it at my level?

Cheers

HU is the one game that stats are the least important; if you can't beat the game without a HUD a HUD won't change that, really. You're doing something fundamentally wrong.

You might consider checking videos and such. There are a bunch of HUSnG videos on here: http://www.pokertrikz.com/videos/user/

Cheers mate,

I actually just saw some heads up videos on another site and the guy was using a heads up display and I wasn't sure if it was necessary.

Your video's look good and it's great to be able to download them and not have to stream them.

Appreciate it mate.

I stand corrected, I just watched your videos and you make so many mistakes.

There were some easy spots for you there and you played them terribly.

See vide Nostalgica4 50NL HU.

Obviously he had the 10 in that spot and your King was obviously no good with the 3 kicker. Check fold was the obvious play (16:55).

Also min raising with 6BB's with 10 high a good play?

When you're in that spot you shouldn't be min-raising, you're either folding or shoving.

You said his play to come over the top with K high was a weak play? Not at all. You defined your hand with the min raise and against your range K high is good.

You dont need stats heads up, like ever really.
Well unless you play more than 2 tables, for me personally i have trouble playing more than 2 as its hard to keep tabs on ranges and plays.

Whatever works for you, sir, but for the benefit of others: I've explained all three of those, I am sure.

With Kx, we had top pair no kicker and a 3/4 pot left OOP, and hero shoves the river. Villain actually rivered trips with middle pair. You are suggesting hero to put villain on trips where they're barely 20bbs deep with 3/4 pot left and hero was the aggressor?

With Tx at 6bbs effective stacks, it is nash correct to shove, but hero decides to minraise because he might get more folds because it looks like he want action; villain knows hero is never folding after a minraise so it would not increase villain's stack-off range at all but may, at times, decrease it. There is no practical scenario where shoving would get folds that minraising wouldn't.

Limp-shoving K high there was bad not because he shoved but because he shouldn't limp K4 at 6bbs; K4 plays too poorly postflop, but is too strong vs an ATC range. Limping is horrid, and shoving is clearly the play.

I mean wow. You seem extremely narrow-minded. I am fairly certain I have an edge on you if you're unwilling to think of nonstandard bet-sizing or understand the significance of stack sizes.

In short, you insulted me: HU4Rollz?

It never happens. Last time I almost got one going a few weeks ago, but no luck.
