Don't disable your firewall, that should have no influence over it. What site and what HUD?
First off, check if your poker client is actually saving the hand histories to your folder. Then check your configuration of PT4 or HEM to see if it points to the correct directory.
Although it's kinda weird that it does see you, that means (for PT at least) that hands ARE being imported in some way, unless it's Zoom.

Beginning from 3:45, he says that in order to call, we need at least 43% equity. Very dumb question - how is this evaluated?
Thanks.

You are getting 1.3:1 on your call. So if you call, you need to be right 43% of the time to breakeven on the call. 1/2.3

Evaluated why we need 43% or if we have it?

We're getting 1,34:1 odds on a call of an all-in. If we win the hand 43% of the time we break even, so that's the least amount of equity we need to make the right call (if we disregard rake in this example),

The way we evaluate if we have it is with tools like Equilab, like they show: you input a range of hands your opponent would make this move with (which is based on your reads of him), you input your hand, click calculate and it will tell you how many % of the time you will win the hand, in other words the equity of your hand vs. his range.
It is of course crucial to identify his range in this spot as correctly as possible.

Ah, it's so simple, now it's clear. Thank you very much!

EDIT: yeah, I was just wondering how can you get this 43% number, 1.3:1 is clear, but these percents were not.. Now it's clear for me. 1/2.3 and you get it.

The math behind 4-bet/jamming medium pockets

Quote:
We said that if the villain is 3-betting us with a range of ~12%, that range will include a lot of hands that
he's going to be folding. Roughly around 2/3 of the hands he is 3-betting he's going to be folding. Vs. a
range of TT+, AQ+, a hand like 66 has 38% equity when called. So, assuming 100 BB stacks:
- 66% of the time villain 3-bet/folds. We win 13 BB's (our 3 that we opened with and their 10 which they
3-bet with).
- 33% of the time they call and we have 38% equity vs. their range. Our share of equity in a 200 BB pot
is 76 BBs. Since we risk 97 BB's to do it, the play will cost us 21 BB's in the long run.
So: 66% (+13 BBs) + 33% (-21 BB's) = +1.65 BB's.

At the second part, where villain calls. Why the author uses "share of equity in a 200BB pot" instead of the classic EV calculation? Like :

38*(win amount) + 62*(-lose amount)

Or is the result the same in both cases?

My bankroll is eligible for 50NL, and my bb/100 on full ring is good. But should I continue with 50NL on Pokerstars or is it better to go 6-max? I like the style of playing 13/9, but of course I can't play with that on 6-max.

Then why would you switch to 6max?

Maybe the games of 50NL are way more tight than 10NL/25NL, and on 6max it's maybe more fishy.

The transition from FR to 6max will be hard because what you used to play e.g. 13/9 changes from ABC to ultra nit in 6max and you will miss alot of value etc. But I still think it will be worth it because of the bigger fish to regs ratio on tables.

Also obviously the better your postflop, the less people you want to have in an orbit (SH)

This is probally already asked a ton, but what is generally considered as a "decent" BRM for HT HU Sng's in the micro's? (1.50-3.50)? I know it depends on your ROI blablabla, but just for a beginner.

This might sound ******ed but I am considering switching from 10NL to Hyper Sng's because I enjoy them alot, more than zoom to be honest.

why's there hardly any 6-max sit n gos on stars I thought 6-max was getting more popular?

eta; also if i want to be a MTT player, should I just start playing small stakes mtt's straight away or try multi-table SNG's first?

I think 6max is more popular as cashgame. They also do well as Hyperturbo SNGs.

You can do both MTSNGs and smallstake MTTs, but if in doubt: the 180s are really good for learning how to play different stages of an MTT.

Hey guys i recently played a cash session on my laptop which does not have my holdem manager on it. I now want to know if i can add the hands from carbon to hm2 from that session. If not its fine I just want to keep track of all my hands that I play in cash.

If your carbon client on the laptop is configured to save the hands then just copy the HH files from the laptop to the other computer's HM archive folder and import them manually. There are instructions on our FAQs for where Carbon/Merge saves the hands and how to import manually. If that poker client is not saving hands then I don't think they can be recovered unless the Carbon/Merge support will email the original hands to you (I don't think they will do this like stars and a few other sites do).

You should have at least 50bi and study a lot. Also, word of advice -- if you have the roll to support it, skip the $1.50s. The effective rake is much higher than at $3.50s and the quality of play is basically the same, so you'll likely do better both roi-wise and hourly-wise playing $3.50s. Same goes for $7s, but I would at least get the absolute basics drilled down before moving to those.

I'm playing 6 max zoom and have a feeling that I am leaking too much from the big blind.

I am running at around -35bb/100 from this position. Could anybody tell me what would be considered a fairly decent (negative) winrate from the big blind?

My stats from the BB are:

VPIP: 14.4
PFR: 10.6
3BET: 7.6
CBET: 88.6% (Should this be closer to 60% OOP at the micro's???)
CBet success: 48.4%
WTSD%: 21%
W$SD%: 65%
AGG: 6.77
AGG %: 44%

Does anybody know if any of this looks too far out of place?
