Get SNGPT. Print the NE charts. Use them.

Please don't give advice like this. As to the op hu is frustrating, I am running terrible right now hu and have 4% more 2nds than 1sts, just consult sngpt to make sure you are making +ve plays. It is very easy to run bad hu as the variance is so high at that point in the sng.

You need to develop a feel for HU play. SNGPT cannot help you in this regard. Eastbay's tutorial on the subject, on the other hand, can.

I'm no Indiana, but I think my HU play is the strongest part of my SNG play. If only we could be HU at big blinds right off the bat, life would be great. To get comfortable at HU play, you really need to play HU SNGs.

There is something I can't quite explain, other than much more feel, that you gain from the experience. Fire a few up. If you don't get addicted right away and stay there, then the experience will, at the minimum, enhance your full SNG HU experience. That is fact.

My BR is $20. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Did I do something to elicit this response? If you want to play, I'm game, but I sense something more.

Obv there is feel but I am unsure that hu sng's are the best way to practice they take 15 mins before the blind to stack ratio mimics the hu portion of a 1 table sng. I disagree that sngpt can't help you hu, the blinds are so big optimal pushing and folding is crucial.
