i think i'm done with stars hu cash. too many nitty regs. hu sngs on the other hand, everyone has 60/4 stats and pay off with all sorts of garbage.

Dont judge how bad someone is at hu cash by preflop play.

this was my first decent-sized day of HU NL SNGs. i'm still grinding at the 11's until i hit 200 total games in which case i plan to move up to the 22's, which i'm easily rolled for. today i played 30 and mostly maintained focus (taking a few breaks to walk off tilt and some tiredness) and went 18-12.

hopefully i can move up soon and play alright.

holla

p.s. sorry about all the posts from today, had a few spots i wanted to check up on.

do any of u HU-ers make any moniez betting on the NFL or other sports? I'm a lifetime loser at sports betting (~4K lost) but still love it and want to get back into the hustle this season. Of course, I won't be able to watch the Colts as closely but I'm sure I'll make some money betting against the niners and raiders out here.

If you do bet, where do you place your wagers? I know there are like 5-6 online books that let americans bet but i think line shopping should be harder now.

A lot of the sports prop bets on bodog are very weak, but you really have to be line checking because the lines move into less +EV numbers very fast. Check out the sports betting or prop betting forum on 2+2, if you can find the best before those guys get to it you should be in good shape.

I too know somebody who does this for a living, but it's not sports bets, it's political, television/movie and sports props for the most part.

Ya, put me on the list of people who thought they were going good again and are now sucking wors than ever.

~-20% of my br in 2 days. No more PLO CASH for me, I can't afford to lose any more stacks to people who call a check-pot raise with Q733 on a QT5 board.
