anyone know where i can find any strat on how to play against button limpers, i raise a decent value range, but just seem to get brutalised by them constantly - they re just so tilting to play against

Hi everyone, I've been playing husng for a year or so and I'm thinking about include little bit hu cash in my game. I'm gonna play nl50 50bb max cause its similar to husng. I'm wondering what are realistic winning rates there?

rake is brutal, not a great idea to play shallow hu nl50

Yeh, don't play less than 100nl short stacking.

Hi people!

Could you give me some advice on theese general questions regarding HUcash NL microstakes?


1) When to c-bet the flop profitably?

I'm currently cbetting (60% of the pot) like 90-95% of the time even if didn't hit anything.
Is it +EV long term speaking? Or should I limit c-betting to the spots where I hit smth/have a draw/gutshot etc?
How should I modify my c-bet tendencies/range against maniacs/LAG who frequently calls/raise my c-bets?

2) Is it 3-betting preflop with my top range hands profitable?

Is it? Because I feel like wasting my top hands by 3betting preflop since most of the times villian folds, I'm currently 3betting [77+,KQs+].
Maybe it's better to use a polarized range and include some "crappy" hands into my 3betting range?

Thanks in advance

1) It obv depends who you are playing against. Some guys fold to a 1/4 pot bet, some guys never fold to any kind of bet no matter what hand they have.
When i start a match i immediately try several betsizes and continue with the one that works best of course.
If villain adjusts, just re-adjust.

2) If they always fold just 3bet more. If they never fold then tighten you range up a bit.
You can also flat AA/KK pre and ch/r flops if they dont like to fold anything.

In HU everything depends on villain. Don´t use the same type of style against completely different villains. Try to get in their head and and your already have one hand in their pocket.

Is it possible to beat HU 25nl w/a 45% RB deal?

I want to try HU (I play FR now), but 50 bucks a shot seems a little much.

yea, plenty of fish @25NL

I wouldnt start below NL50.
You can bumhunt the 5k hands and try to get a feel for the game.
Just quit villains who put you in trouble and it shouldnt be a problem. I dont think skill lvl will make much of a difference. Fish is fish, no matter the level.

The site I play at has no PTR. How is it possible to bumhunt at this site?

Would you recommend me sitting down first?

Ok, thanks

you are able to spot a fish when you play them dont you? If not, well, then you are the fish . Just sitout if you bump into someone decent at first to get comfortable.
Yes, sitting down first and waiting for fish is pretty standard... later you can try reghunting

Officially starting HU cash...I was wondering what the best site is for US players specifically for HU cash, and what the suggested starting BR is for the lowest HU cash level (which I assume is 25nl)

I will NOT be bumhunting btw

And if the site is compatible with HEM, that would be awesome Thanks guys

40 BI to be safe and comfortable.
Merge is good in terms of action, but cashout times are around 5-6 weeks.
Minted is okay too, but much less action. Both compatible with HEM.

40bi's huh...I guess I WILL be bumhunting. I can only deposit up to $500, fml.

Thanks for your response

3hrs a day, running 2-3 tables would be how many hands a month?

well I'd guess

3hrs x 2.5 tables x 150hph x 30 days = 33750 hands a month

Good advice so far caught a couple fish headsup! ty

Also left table a couple times because I'm not sure how to adjust to TAGs/LAGs yet.

quick question... if villain is min 3betting my 3x PFR, 100bb deep, is it profitable to defend any 2 cards 1) versus a strong range 2) versus a looser range.

i know the odds of flopping 2 pair is 49 to 1, so if i pay 3bb's to win 100bb's i am in effect loosing 3bb'sx49=147bb's versus the time i flop 2-pair and win. If anyone could help me out with this it would be much appreciated, seems very weak to fold here even versus a strong 3B range!

wtf, if i understand you correctly, your logic is mega flawed here! First off you dont pay 3bbs but 7 (assuming standard 3bet sizing is 10x), then you dont account for the times you lose with your two pair or it gets counterfeited and then you assume that you stack villain off every time... (+ at least another 10 reasons that im to lazy to think of).
You also dont count times you flop trips or anything else....
the rule of thumb would be that you should defend wider (or 4bet) against a looser 3betting range and be prepared to call down lighter... (and also against a min 3bets etc that give you good odds pre)

he's talking about a min 3bet vs a 3x open, so after opening to 3x he has to pay another 2bb to see a flop in position.

and yes, i defend probably very wide to fish who do this 100bb deep, like 80%+, obv 4betting a good strong range if he's going crazy with it. i think you can get away with calling these min click backs real light, because these type of players are often so so weak passive post flop, that you're never going to be put under extreme pressure if you hit, you can see showdowns very often for cheap, and you do have very good implied odds where these weak players just can't fold anything. being in position it's a pretty easy game. i don't know about you math (seems bad), but i'm certain that calling close to 100% of your range (that is not 4betting for value) is okay for another 2bb into 8bb pot, 100bb deep with fish in position.

oh, sorry! Then yea, i call uber light against a min 3bet

ok just to clarify, at 50NL 50$ stacks, i PFR to 1.50 on button, fish makes it 3.00 total so i have to call 1.50 to see a flop with a 6$ pot and $47 behind

ok, so not quite a min 3b, whatever, still not folding very often

What do you guys think is the better option

Deposit $200------> play $10husngs
Deposit $500------> bumhunt 25NL
