Beginner's Guide to HU SNG (Pooh-Bah post)

I didnt, 100nl cash is way more profitable (about 25-75 an hour difference Id estimate) if your dominant but will have HUGE swings relative to the HU sngs.

Sorry to keep nagging about this, but we seem to have a communication problem. Did you mean 25-75 an hour difference compared to 6-max or HU STTs? I figure you meant 6-max, but I wanted to be sure.

Another thing I have been wondering about is how to move from HU STTs to HU cash-games on FTP. I figure there are two ways of going about this:
1) When you are profitable at the $110s, start playing HU cash-games with a small stack (less than 50 big blinds). When you can do this profitable at NL200 you can go back to NL100 and start playing with a full buy-in.
2) Go directly from HU STTs to full buy-in NL100 once you are profitable at the $220s.

Do you prefer one over the other?

Are there any flaws in these approaches?

Im tired so this is going to be jumbled:
HU cash 100nl I think its possible to make almost $200 an hour if you are very good and can multitable very well, the fewer tables the less you can make per hour. I think most good players playing 100nl HU would be making in the $125-$175 range.

HU 110s I would expect most good players to be around $80-$100.

I have no idea how to make the transition Im admittedly not very good at HU cash. If you want to make an easy transition though I would recommend just playing against ppl who sit short stacked, they generally have a portion of their frontal lobe missing and are easy to beat.

im thinking about donking around in some HU NL SNGs at a small buy-in to learn and maybe try out a form of poker with less variance than what i've been playing (1-1 and 6-max limit hold em).

would anybody let me ask them some questions, get some guidance, etc? i don't really have the BR to pay for proper coaching and i plan to comb through the HU forum over the next few days to find useful threads but it'd be nice to have somebody sweat or lead me to good starting points.

post or pm is fine
thanks a lot

I am playing 10$ HU SNG regularly and I am showing a nice profit. I am somewhat nervous about going higher, but I have been taking staps as well as watching others play.

My prefered style of play is taking down a lot of small pots and I generally prefer not playing big pots since I feel I don't need to take coinflips against worse opponents.

At the higher buy ins, my edge won't be as high as the 10's and I get the feeling that limping from the button is generally a very bad idea and that I should adopt a fold or raise attitude. Is this true and does min. bets preflop even figure in your usual strategy? Should I, in turn, attack limps from the button quite often?

Looking forward to the video.

Excellent post.

I loved your post cwar, but as I am fairly new to the forum, I don't know what a "Pooh-bah" post is. I see that your "ranking" in terms of number of posts is "Pooh-bah" is this some sort of a post that you do since you reached (I believe) 1500 posts?

[cwar]

Yea pooh-bah post is after 1600 posts usually.
