I've been lurking this forum for around a week lately.

About two days ago I made the transition into HUSNG with a $100 bankroll after 6-max pissed me off. Heads-up is very befitting for my style and I thoroughly enjoy playing and learning more about it. From the material I've read there isn't a very general basis of play... multiple styles can show accomplished results and situations are extremely player and image dependent.

I made a video (Off topic question: I used Camtasia and could only save the file as an .avi - I read in one of the "recommended" topics where video files where .wmv and only 7~9 megabytes. If anyone knows how to do this please help me for reals.) The video is me trying to play my standard game against an unfortunate bad player. I also played horribly but I would like to know what the "obvious" leaks are.

Here is my thought process through the video to help anyone who wonders why I'm making the donk moves I do and any help would be greatly appreciated:

Hand Three: BB 68


Hand Five: BB 5J


Hand Twelve: BU 5Q


Hand Sixteen: BU AQ



Yes I suck out for the win and no I'm not ******ed for posting a win. I've only made one recording and I'm disappointed with it to be honest. There wasn't very many decisions for me to get help with which was my main concern. Anyone who can just review this video and lay some basic framework down so I can make some slight improvement would be awesome. Once someone helps me with making smaller files I'll be happy to work more on making more decision-induced videos that I can have a discussion on.

Since this is one of my first posts here I'm just hoping this topic meets the guidelines and people actually decide to respond. Sorry for the low content and dumb hands but I'll try better in my next posts if these kind of topics are allowed.

Also looking for people to discuss HUSNG's on MSN. PM me your MSN addy if you want to chat about bawlin and stuff. Thank you.

Holy **** I'm ******ed.

I never posted the video link.

Screw me.

havent read thru this but looks cool will try do when i get time, comp is fuked atm

limp more, bet your bottom pairs, learn to c/r, bet missed draws, i would say he was running over you except for your trip A's hand and thats what killed him. your at the 5's, you will develop and learn as you go, you definately aren't bad enough were your going to go broke at these levels, just keep reading and learning.

What is the purpose of limping? What do I accomplish in doing so?
How should I assort my raising and limping range and how diverse should it be?

I will definitely incorporate more aggressive plays with my bottom pairs... dunno why I haven't been betting them. As for check-raising I usually do this when I feel the villain is on a sort of draw or hand that I can get value from. In my AQ hand the actions I took were just call because I had a feel that he'd barrel the turn. Not sure if a c/r would have made him fold though or get me more chips.

That last hand was kind of a tough 3bet; I think you hate to see a 4bet shove and you haven't seen him raise enough IP to believe a 3bet will make him fold.. That said, it's really close, against his range you're probably getting a little better than 3-1 which is about your pot odds, so it's not a horrible call ldo but you may have wanted to avoid that 3bet to get yourself in that predicament in the first place.

I'm just going to give you some general thought on your play:
- You play way too much out of position.
- In certain spots you are too passive (for example in the AQ hand).
- You commit too much money on mediocre hands out of position (Q5 hand).
- You 3bet too much for the $5 HUSnGs. Against some opponents it works 3betting as much as you do but against the type of opponent you played against, I definatly would not recommend it. I wouldn't recommend doing it against the average $5 HUSnG opponent.

You may want to think about why you are betting bottom pair before you just mash a bet button with bottom pair..... Dunno. but I have to ask why you should be more aggressive with bottom pair?
