Cool interesting in your blog that you say you play a quite loose aggressive style, I find most of the regs at lower sngs (only up to $100 which i've played) - hardly know how to handle early aggression and overcompensate way too much. Nice blog btw! |

Is this not a super variance game? I can only assume you're playing with knowledgeable opponents who have almost identical push/AIcalling ranges. | |

Hey, slevin. I'm a nano HU SnG player right now. LoL @ HU2. I haven't played much in a year, and I've got only a few hundred total bankroll online right now. So I'm trying to knock months of rust off, and HU2 is great place for "no negative nights." I'm rolled for at least 2 levels higher, but I need to get some game back before I move up. |

I think 40 buyins is fine as long as you are sure you're a winner. I personally like to have 100 buyins for my main game. | |

Thanks Max. Great stuff. Was a member at HUsng a few months ago and have a lot of vids downloaded and will be working a lot with an EV calculator program. Also, hokiegreg lives close to me and said he'd let me watch him sometimes but that was months ago too | |

Why do you guys prefer HU sng vs HU cash? I ask because I've been playing a little of both lately but prefer cash. | |

Cause the cash guys all sit and wait for fish. There is so much game play between regs and bumhunters trying to find fish once you get to even $25NL that you will drive yourself insane, guys sitting out when you sit, guys playing for 20 hands and sitting out once they know you can play. W/S&G's, you sit and play, much less hassle to find games for starters. | |

Yeah I rarely play HU SNGs but I have yet to play anyone I feel was competent | |

Where do HU SNGs get tough in relation to the line at 100NL? | |

Can you use a HUD at Bodog, bigred? And how low can you play HU cash? | |

I wouldn't recommend playing both hu sngs and hu cash regularly. Shallow stacks require such different play it always has affected my cash play negatively. | |

The nano HU games are almost no variance, because you aren't really relying much on showdowns to win. I'm staying interested in the $1 and $2 games because I have a bunch of eroded poker skill - discipline especially - that I have to get back. I was winning pretty consistently at the $10 and $11 games, not the 1.5k sample like Number2intheworld suggests, but about 400. But I haven't played in a pretty much a whole year, so I'm not ready for challenging bigger stakes. |

There's a $50 handgrabber application that imports hands into HEM. HEM just came out with a beta hand importer of their own but it imports 10% of the hands correctly and blows up the other 90% of the time. Still waiting for them to fix this. | |

Thanks man. Will definitely look at moving some cash over there. | |

If you're playing micro/small stakes HUSNGs having more than 30 BIs really feels like a waste until you're up to the $34.50 level. It's aggressive, but if you're disciplined its really not that hard to jump around stakes if you have to. | |

nope. <50bi's might as well throw it on the roullete wheel |

Gary - What makes HUSNG BRM more important than cash game BRM? | |
12-14-2010 03:26 PM

False. Go to HUSNG.com and you will see a lot of instructors there advocate aggressive BRM if you're a recreational player. (Which I'm assuming all of us are except for Max and Danny.) There's nothing wrong with having to move up/down in stakes if you can handle it. It's really not that high variance at the low and micro stakes if you just pay attention to the villains. | |

One of the core principles at FTR is solid bankroll management. While some sites suggest more aggressive policies, and even some FTR icons have utilized aggressive strategies, as a group we tend to err toward conservative. |

Despite my join date, I've been around FTR for a while. I understand that conservative BRM is a great thing to have. | |

Yeah Roid I agree with you. As long as you're beating the game and willing to move down if you go on a bad downer there's nothing wrong with having a 30 buyin BR. | |

Actually, Roid, I don't have any clue about BR management for HU SnG's, so maybe I was out of line. If 30 BI's is solid, I'm happy to hear it. |

Yea, that's right about what I've always stuck with. If you feel like you're playing really piss poor in a session and drop 3-5 BIs nothing wrong with dropping a level or two to regroup obviously, and if you feel like you're on top of your shit I don't see a problem with taking an occasional stab at the limit above if you don't think losing will tilt you. Just don't go too crazy with the shot taking obviously. | |

I main husngs. I just recently moved up to the 33 turbos on FTP. 30BI is a fairly standard BR for regs/turbos. I generally play by the guidelines in this article: |
