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

[ChicagoRy]

If you're only using good hands 4x is fine. If you're in the first level you might want to make it 3x, or if you're playing somebody who will fold to a lot of 3-bets. In that case start 3-betting with different hands than just premium.

Opening raise size is good.

Limp raise size is good.

I think the most important thing is to be really patient. THeres a lot of times where you have top pair and are raised, and you just have to fold against alot of opponents. Or you'll get checkraised on the river with two pair. If your reasonably sure you are beat, just fold. Most of these oppoents arent tricky, and you'll be able to find a great spot to get your money in against them

I feel on the lower levels ($5 and $10) you can call checkraises on the river. Often it's a bluff. If you're getting checkraised on the turn it's often a good hand. (But that's my experience, so please find out what works best for you)

I've started my (hopefully) sticky thread for NLTRN.

I have about 6-8 threads so far that I feel have been the most helpful and content-worthy for NLTRN players. This is one of them.

It should be done in the next 1-2 days, I'm going through all of the HU forum posts.

Assuming equal skills at NLTRN and NLCASH and a 27% rakeback, what is more profitable: The $110 STTs - or NL100 on FTP?

If you were really good at both (Im assuming you mean FT 110 HU sngs) you would around $100 an hour at the HU sng and close to $50 an hour, your going to have a lot less variance if you a 6-max 100nl cash player though because you can be such a dominant player at those stakes that you have swings around 5 buyin at most. In general Id say 200nl is closer to the equivalent of a 110 hu sng.

Thanks.

You knew I was talking about HU NLCASH, and not 6-max NLCASH, right?

[cwar]

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.
