Hello, nice vid. Is there going to be anything on Br mgmt for HU in these series? If not, what general guidelines do you reccomend.

Thanks

Kev

We don't have that planned, but I'd recommend between 50-100 buyins for your regular level. HU can be much swingier than 6handed.

Quoted from above:

"I stuck the button opening range suggested in the video into Pokerstove and it comes out as 37%. This means that your opponent could make a profit in the BB by playing only QQ+ AQ+."


Question: How do you arrive at {QQ+,AQ+} range when knowing what % of hands he opens on the BTN? Just curious, as I have no idea how to solve that.

When is the next episode coming out?

Very nice. Can you post that HUD layout?

So awesome!!!

Just checking out HU as I'm a 6max player now but it is interesting for sure. You gave some great info regarding table selection and I found the opening hands very interesting as well. I also saw some vagabonds pop in and out from 200 6 max. Funny. I'll certainly continue with the series and maybe I'll be donking around with the 200HU folks soon as well.

Thanks, Mark

copy/paste the above and put it into a .pah file, then you should be able to import it.

not sure why the right click/save as method didn't work on ie... works fine for me.

WoT

wilt/krantz,

I'm just getting round to watching the series and had a really basic question.

In episode 1 you mention hands to open, hands to defend and hands to 3 bet with. You don't mention hands to call 3 bets with.

I imagine you're calling with any of the hands you also 3 bet with but being on the button how can that range be expanded in a general strategy kind of way ?

Also how are we adjusting for stack size 150-200 bb etc

thanks
