Don't u think decent winning HU regs at small stakes can be successful by having some intuitive sense for gameflow and psychology?
I'm amazed at how superficially many winning HU regs at these stakes think about poker (that I've discussed hands with etc.. Obv small sample). I actually think HU poker at small stakes are a less complex game than 6max, but obv expecting 0% of the posters in this thread to agree..

people mover whats your stars sn?

it is less complex, but most people are coming from a 6max background so those lessons should still be there. ie. cbetting into multiway pots, ep raising and all that junk. Once they pick that stuff back up, the hand reading will take over and push them above the average.


If someone has only played HU, they will definitely struggle at 6max, there are many more decisions that need to be made.

We all strive to make every hand we play make sense in the eyes of our opponents, i dont think that trait is as common among the 6max and FR regs. I'm not saying uncommon by any means, just not as common. Its much harder to learn and master in those games imo.

My thoughts exactly 48 hours ago.

I know it's pretty lol with the stakes people here play,
but I wanna sweat a bit before moving up, who are the toughest opponents in FTP at 50nl?

Anyone sitting by himself if better than most. Don't play him at 50nl if you want.

Tough 50nl reg is kind of an oxymoron though.

id just 4-table any reg that u can

if/when you win 2k-2500 then move up to the fifty and dollar

i dont give up bih (4tabling the same guy at 5/10)

That graph tells a story, and I like that story, I think it is a very good story.

Also I am glad I saw this at a time where I have been very very close to making up stop-loss rules for myself, because it reminds me that **** a stop loss.

ldo started cranking out the lady gaga at 1162

it's absurd how idiots incapable of vbetting thin at all call flop <30 % and show me ****ing 2pair+ every ****ing time

i think some of you are thinking about it wrong. CFTW u say some v good players have only made 50k lifetime. They are technically very good, but they suck at dealing with variance. I have played lots of midstakes regs across all sites lately, and handled super strict stoplosses myself. I started seeing how insanly important this is when i watched how i destroyed some regs who i thought were good. I was basicly 1 step ahead of em most of the time, and that was mostly cos they were stuck to me or someone else be4 playing me. I realized how sick important it it so to play your best, and not your 2nd best (even tho they might seem close to each other). It is like day and night. These players probably werent much worse or better then me. But because i avoided playing when i wasnt 100% focussed and in the zone, and they sometimes threw that completly out of the window, i think i had an edge on them.

Fullflush runs hot now, and thats why he plays so well vs everyone, but I wonder how much or little mistakes hes gonna make when he goes on a 700k downer or something.

Wether or not your better then all the 25/50+ regs or whatever has more to do with how you handle your stoplosses and how fast your out of the zone or not. That player that just owned you for 6 bi might be a marginal winner, and might be that tagfish you played yesterday you couldnt image is a winning player. Because hes about to have a 2nd or 3rd break even month.

fwiw im not claiming to have any knowlegde on full flush or something, just trying to make an example.

Im also not claiming to have alot of knowledge about not tilting and being on your Agame, because i have also been a prime example of fail in that area.

Dude... when I run bad this is exactly what it's like. I feel ya bro. It'll turn.

That graph gives me hope Reaction, good stuff

gotta have heart

So honest question: Do you guys think players like straate, sauce, skier etc. who will play infinitely long sessions hu no matter how much they are up or down are severely impeding their profits by not setting stop losses?

I think it's really tough to say. Part of what may make them much better players is that they are less affected by results in the moment.

Nice video on DC jsnipes. You mentioned your opponent (TeeJayOrTJ) was a 2+2 legend - what's he famous for? Links to threadz plz
