Leader that is so weird I lived in Lex when I was in high school, I would always go down to Mooney St (sp?) for the skatepark and guitar lessons.

these turbo nl sngs are dumb

i use SAGE and Sklansky -Chubukov numbers for when blinds get big (since most matches get to the 50/100 level) and i'm breakeven over my last 300. they end up in coinflips or 60/40, or me making correct push and running into a better hand, etc.

compare that to the non-turbos where i have an ROI of 18% of my last 250.

You must have 10-20, 15-30 and/or 25-50 leaks if a majority of your matches are lasting that long.

Also I find that I have a big advantage over a lot of players in the 100 big blind levels and above.

I'm talking 33s-55s or fishy 110 players, I'm not sure if you play higher or lower, but post some hands because there is certainly more profit at the turbos, albeit a bit higher variance. But who's afraid of a little variance?

Hi HU players!!!

Im going to tackle HU sng's. To prepare for this I have read all 56 pages of this forum (ChicagoRy has tons of interesting posts). I also have been using google for the past 3 days trying to dig up any info that will be helpful. Mostly blogs or info on full table sng's that are down to heads up but I did get a general idea for a basic strategy.

I have reread the chapter in HOHII on HU play and Im curious as to any opinions you guys may have on this chapter.

I have an extra $100 to dedicate to HU sng's and plan on getting my feet wet at FT's $2 games. I will see how things go before making any plans on moving up.

From what I have read on this forum, it seems that if you apply yourself and continually try to improve your game, HU sng's have some monies to be made. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Im looking forward to participating in the HU discussions found here.

Some people just want to see a flop.

This whole HH is a joke.

wtf? check or push pf. you're out of position with a less than 20bb stack.

[ChicagoRy]

Same thing really, it's actually worse for him to call then to shove?

I have 900 and I put in 600...

[cwar]

Obvious push preflop (folding is worse than raising to 600) Im not sure I get why you raised to 600 instead of pushing though just getting cutesy?.
