Hi there,

Not sure if it has been suggested already - probably has but anyway here it goes.

I think that it would be great to have a better HU material/sections/Hand Eval Forum etc...

AFAIK, there are only 3 or 4 articles in the strategy section and 2 videos from TT (the other ones are very very old). Why is there so little HU material? Are you guys planning on adding more HU content?
I think it is a pity that when we ask where we can find HU material we are being sent to one of your competitor.

I also think that we should have a HU hand evaluation forum with dedicated Hand Judge. I really think that the Hand Evaluation forum is a great tool and used by many of us. I think there are many of us here playing HU that the section would pretty dynamic.

Thanks

Yea I totally agree, way to little HU content.


+1, not sure if you are just talking about cash or also HU Sng. I believe that especially a lot of players currently play HU Sng


Low stakes HU sng videos would be really nice.


thanks for the suggestion guys :) will forward to the authorities ;) id love to learn hu too.

I was talking about HU cash, but if there is probably a need for more sngs stuff as well.


Hi Max,

How are you? :) how's coaching going with pleno?

Thank you for your feedback, I've moved your thread to the relevant board where our Education experts will reply. :heart:

Hi,

have you seen this weeks video news?
http://www.pokerstrategy.com/news/content/10-Videos-That-You-May-Have-Missed_48647/

I think we have a good week for HeadsUp, of course it is gold+ but I don't think playing HeadsUp on low levels is a great idea anyway.

Cheers,

Pascal

@ Ingrid: thx for moving this thread to the relevant section, coaching is going well, thx!

@ Pascal:

I'll surely watch this Friday's video.

But in general I believe there is a lack of HU content such as articles, quizzes video series, HU theory etc...

I just think that PS is behind some other sites in terms of HU, hopefully you are working on it.

What about the idea of having a hand evaluation section for HU with a dedicated hand judge?

It would be really great if there would be more material about HU and HU SnG...

Hi,

to be honest I am not so sure we would really have enough traffic to justify such a forum

had a quick look at the handevaluation boards and I didn't find much there
(of course you can argue it would be more if we had a dedicated forum but than)

maybe we could do an additional tag [HU] like with [FR] and [SH] to make searching and sorting easier

btw how do you like today's video?

Cheers,

Pascal

As far as I am concerned I am not posting my hands in the HU forum bc there is no judge there. I post them in my blog to get opinions from our fellow pokerstrategists (when I get some) but a HU hand judge would be the best imo.

We could certainly add [HU] tag in the existing hand evaluation forum, but we have to make sure that the Hand judge is playing HU and capable of analysing HU hand (which is very different from SH or FR).

The best would be to have a HU specialist that analyses our hands. I don't think there would be any need to have sub forum for the different stakes to start with but I am quite sure that if it were to be implemented people would def start using it.

There are def some HU specialist in the English community, maybe you could ask one of them if he would be interested in taking care of that part of the forum?

What about if we give it a try for a month or so and see how it goes?

Thanks,
Max

I totally agree with OP regarding a HU cash forum. I think a site this size could really do with one. Im pretty sure there are a lot of people playing HU poker who would contribute.

Yes, totally agree. If it's true that there is no HU hand judge then I think this is a mistake.

I don't think you can have a serious educational poker site which doesn't have someone who can advise on heads up play.

I will discuss the [tag] thing with Ingrid tomorrow
and I'm sure sapheal is more than capable to judge your hands

Yeah Sapheal would be great!

Will wait for Ingrid to get back to us!

Thanks for this.


Hi,

just discussed it with Ingrid
we will add [hu] tags to the BSS handevaluation boards shortly
to make it easier for you and sapheal promised to have an eye on them :)

Cheers,

Pascal
