I can't really sharkscope people because once someone sits on Stars, someone else joins ... The only way to find out how the person is playing, is to play him. (maybe watch some tables and then search and color). I'm not ready yet to handle 150+usd swings yet. That's why I'm staying at the 15's for now + my sample isn't still very big.

Haven't updated for a while, so here we go.

Graph (only 15usd HU SnG)

I'm satisfied with my game and quite happy with the results. Even though I run -270usd under EV for past 10 days, overall EV is just slightly above. I experienced again a lot of coolers along the way. (Not gonna complain too much anymore)

The only thing, I'm totally unhappy about, is my MTT play. I buy tickets to Big 11 and play it with one extra HU table. Lately I have been bluffing too much, thinking too much and just playing MTT a little like a HU game.

Today, I was gonna change that... Well, PS was against it:

took 4 shots today at the 30's and lost all of them. I don't think that I played badly, cards just didn't go my way kinda dissapointed because I didn't play against ppl who were necessaraly that good.

Still finished my day couple dollars up ♦

Run like sh**

Last 2 days

Overall graph just of 15usd HU SnG

Shots at 30's will have to wait a little bit

I think you should not move to 30s, especially not with 35buy in, if you dont feel secure about it. Maybe 50 buy in.

You rely too much about up and down swings, try not to focus on this, it evens out.

Which type you play, turbo or hyper turbo?

I play Turbo

Yesterday I had already 50BI for 30's, so I tried it.
It's so much more REG-infested ♦ There are a lot of regs waiting for the spot to sit down first, so I accidently played mostly against regs cuz we sat at the same time. One of them asked me: "why did you reg me? pls dont" ♦

Anyways, it went not well, running bad lately, so I'm back to 15's to rebuilt
Last 5 days were just shi***

Though, I really feel confident about my game. I'm crushing the 15's nicely, hope I will run better soon

Just short update

I haven't been playing much lately. School work and parties have been taking place instead. Also, I had a bit flustrating run, so shots at 30's had to wait and I lacked motivation to continue at the 15usd level.

Well, I'm still playing the 15's and today I reached a 1500 tourney mark since I started this blog (end of July). Not a huge volume, here is the graph

Not only I played 1500 tourneys, i got now the same number in my cashier on Stars (-1 BI ♦ ). I think 1560BR will be fine for me to start shooting 30's again Hope to run well now and play higher as soon as possible

Great blog! Keep up the good work.

Have any tips for a $6 husng newbie?

That's a really solid overall graph, solid consistency/grinding. Will be curious to see how you find the $30s, good luck!

Thanks, as you can see, I started at the 7's on Stars (played some 6's on FTP). I think watching good videos can overall improve your game. In HU it is also very important to take a break when you start being on tilt (ppl get on tilt very easily in HU, i used to as well). And ABC straightforward game is the key at this level. Don't overthink

Thanks, I wish I could play a little more. I've played only 28x 30usd ones (included in that graph), but am down -236usd (EV -82). I don't think it will be much harder than 15's, but I hope variance will be kinder to me next time I try

Which videos would you recommend?

Nice graphs. Make them in BI instead of $ to look even nicer.

I'm not sure, if I can advert here videos from other sites. Anyways, I paid for the standart membership on site with the most educational HU SnG material. I'm actually thinking about buying the premium membership soon cuz some material is just outstanding.

I can't make my graphs in BI, cuz my HEM doesn't work in that matter, don't know where the problem is :/

Since there are more and more HU SnG player, I would recommend hiring a new HU SnG micro-mid stakes coach. Screename: mattutaylor on Pokerstars would be just perfect. Check him out on sharkscope! He is a coach at one not very well known site, easy to google

I will follow this.

Is 20BI for each limit enough? I will also going to start agian on the HU-SNG.

not for each limit, I guess if you are starting with 3,50usd BI, then its OK but I would recommend more nittier BRM.
I use 50BI BRM and I need more than that to take shots.

Ex. Now I'm having something over 1500 in my account but I want 1590 to take at least 3 shots at the 30's

Other than that, I've been really running bad. It has been a long BE month (slight profit not really worth mentioning ♦ )

In the last couple of days, I have been up against AA with my top pair more than the times I was dealt AA. Set ups happening all the time. I just took break when I had 2. nut straight against the nuts on a dry board. Enough of complaing, I know ppl don't like reading this ♦ I just needed to get it out of my system

I'm really looking forward to the 30's, I hope I can win the extra few BI's to take shots again.
+ I intend to ship the Saturday Duel tomorrow with the Double Guarantee ♠_cool: that would make up for this shitty month

Hello, just a quick update again:)

Here is the lifetime graph of HU SnG in this blog

I moved to 30's for the 3rd time now. Hopefully I will be able to have a better run and stay there.
I mostly played fishes there recently, unfortunately I wasn't very lucky. I honestly don't think that the 30's will be that much harder than the 15's

30's Graph

And one song that has been stuck in my head for quite some time

After (for me) a long BE stretch, my graph finally reached higher point than it has ever been (both EV and money wise). Feels good

I really hope I will be on an upswing for some time. The previous run was kinda flustrating.
My BR is now safe for 30's, I would have to drop at least 7BI in order to rebuilt at the 15's. Hope that won't be necessary.

Also thinking about studying hyper-turbo and possibly trying it out.

So I'm finally in the + column even at 30's

Seems like the 30's shouln't be much harder than the 15's. Still plenty of fishes and Regs don't sit me anymore ♦

Overall graph (since the beggining of this blog)

I'm also thinking about Premium subcribtion on husng site. It's 120usd per month but the material should be outstanding. I really want to see more videos from mersennary, mjw006 and so ...

Hello, so quick update

This is how I'm doing just at the 30's

jpeg image hosting

I wish I had a little better run. But I feel that I play fine. Still should do better in certain spots but overall I'm satisfied with my game.
I also bought the premium membership at husng. Mersenneary's videos are excellent. I think they will be really useful and am sure that I invested in the right thing.

If anybody is curious, there is a overall graph of HU SnG from this blog

My EV is at all time high, though I think it should be higher:D its ridicolous in how many dominated spots I have been getting lately.

can someone teach me how to run good?

30's so far

528usd under EV (ROI: -2,5%, EV ROI: 6,8%)
I know it's still a small sample...
