So I been playing HU sit and Gos, but I really hate the short stack side.

I decided to shot take at the .5/1 hu cash, with my 70$ roll, and stacked some fish 4 times. So atm I got about $450. I was wondering, what is the best way to keep playing HU cash, but not go broke?

I heard the rake for lower NL HU cash is brutal? What area does this apply to, and what do you recommend?

Thanks for any help.

I think the rake is about 2,5USD per 100 hand in NL50. Atleast I get about 25 VPPS per 100 hand playd.
You just got lucky. Because sometimes the fish is on a heater and you will lose all your money. Thats called bankroll management.
For excample I put up a question how much is normal winnings per 100 hand if I play against the fish. The question arose, because I was surprised. I playd till that question 600 hands and won 20BB per 100 hand so 120 USD. Well I guessed that was a heater. Later I playd about 700 hands and won 1BB per 100 hand, because just the cards did't hold. I have KK, but still 2/3 of the bets and fish buys his A with A8 once and A5 the second time. Then Yesterday I playd 150 hands and got about 7BB per 100, which shoulb be normal. So my total for about 1500 hands is about 9BB per 100 hand. That 1BB session includid paying two buy-ins for quite a bad player who ran good. he won AA vs K8. K on the flop chips were in and the second one was again AA vs 83 chips where in on the flop A82 turn 4, river 5.

So my BR is $100 on Bovada and their rake policy is

.05 for each $1 in pot, max rake .50

Their lowest HU stake is 5nl...how should I go about this rake policy? I never really looked into rake stuff until I played a 10nl table (with my profits since I couldn't get any action elsewhere) and saw I paid about 15% of my stack to rake in half an hour

In pokerstars the cap is 0.50 per pot in NL50 and it fills with 10 USD pot, so I guess the rake is the same. But the rake is dependent usually on how do you play. No flop no drop rules etc.

Hello all

Just migrating over here from the 100NL/200NL 6max forums, looking to better my HU game. Atm I'm playing the micro-limits on the OnGame network. The rake is ridiculous, but I'm just learning at the moment - not looking to build a roll yet.

My question is, versus an unknown who isn't either excessively tight or excessively aggro, and we're early on in a game (so no real reads), what is your 'standard' 100bbs stack-off range pre-flop?

Thanks y'all

I play usually shorttables 50bbs, but my guess is, that without reads for excample NL50, I am on the button and will raise to 1.50, villain 3bets to 4.50. I 4bet to 10.50, villain 5bets to 22.00 then I would shove with AK, 77+ or call all-in with AK and TT+. But I think my shoving range is too small. But after about 10 hands of play I would also make changes with my shoving and calling range. And for ending I would like to see more experienced HU cash regs answers, since I am quite new to HU cash yet (about 5K hands at NL50). I have seen regs push with any poketpair. Maybe its just the variance (poket against poket should be something like 1:300 or so), but I have just been against bigger pocets too much.

Can anybody find a thread about what program is to use best with HU poker. I play randomly other tournaments, but my main goal is HU cash and then HU SNG-s at Stars.

Depends on your postion and many other things, but you can't go too wrong w/ 99+, AQo+, AQs+.

just to give you an idea,at ipoker the rake is
nl4 = 23-27bb/100
nl10 = 20-25bb/100
nl20 = 16-20bb/100
nl50 = 12-15bb/100

so you d better have rakeback and fish-hunt to make money at lower stakes

Since the PTR does't show the player profiles in Stars will the bumhunting time be over?

My bankroll is $230. What stake HU SNG should I play?

Also, what is rakeback?

^^^ first post level ??? nice avatar
:~)

LOL thanks

The avatar shows what happens if you start playing NL100 with 2,3 buy-ins after few suckouts. LOL.
My first try with HU cash in FullTilt happened like that. Won about 400 USD in some tournament. Then went to play NL50 HU cash and lost abou 3,5 buy-ins. Twise I got my chips all-in while I was ahead once had set with QQ flop QTx he had AT, turn A, and river A, second time chips went in I had two pair and he had either straight of flush draw which arrived and once I had JJ villain had KK.
After that felt like the avatar pictuere.

Hi guys, im wanting to start learning HU cash as i believe it will help my normal cash games.

I'm trying to make a HU HUD now but really cant find a way of having vpip bb ( i use pokertracker and they only have vpip sb, and i really want both of them)

Anyone here have the same problem with pokertracker and know an easy solution? Im not good enough with pokertracker to custom make stats or anything.

Thanks

Hey guys(&girlz???)

Im back @ poker and playing 50NL on stars. Working hard on my game en mental state and im curious if i could watch with som one else, or if som one wanna send me a HH i can review. Curious about others playing and how they think and talk about that with them.

Would love to hear from som one you to have a sweat session or Hand review.
Stakes, Clients etc doesn't matter. just verry curious!

Why are there 11 different 2/4 HU tables open with one person sitting on Bovada poker where the tables are anonymous? Is there some way to tell who you're playing?

Well mostly regs don't with to play against regs? Since fish never start a table, but allways sit to play and not to wait, its logic that regs are waiting for a fish to swim to their table. You can see it allmost anywhere that there are more tables with somone waiting than tables where two people actually play. In stars for excample NL50 (the lowest HU cash level) its allmost equal, but when you look upper limits its more people waiting and less people playing.

Hey,
I want to start playing hu then I will start in nl20(or nl10).

Between Ipoker and merge what is the best option considering rake paid and field?(or other things are also important to consider)

ty

Pretty clever

I play at ipoker and I've seen there are more players sitting and playing on No DP tables than on DP tables. Is it like that on other networks and why is it so? Even fish seem to swim more in No DP waters.

People say 20-30 buyins for HU is enough as a aggressive BR yet i have just had a session 20 buyins below EV! soo many suck outs its disgusting. How can it be possible to have 20-30 buyins when i run like 40 buyins below EV its sick like 900bb pots with QQ v KJ and he flops 3 jacks etc.

Should i take a different brm stragery for playin deep? should i not play deep? is 20-30 buyins really enough? feels like i need 100!

20-30 buy ins are recommend for playing 100 bb while using an agressive BRM strategy.
If you are playing deep like 350 bb assuming you have a edge you should probably use 50 buy ins minimum with agressive BRM.

so if i go deep i should just quit? I dont plan to play deep yet if he sucks out on me 3-4 times i grind him down till were even then we're like ~250bb deep and the stacks are gonna go in at some point so how should i play 20-30 buyins? quit a guy when i lose 2 buy ins? ask him to split? or what? surely u have to play deep at some points no matter u brm how do the 20-30 buy in guys counteract these spots?

20-30 BI is fine for pure bumhunting, but if you're battling regs you need way more, like at least 70 BI is what I'd say.
