Hard Going

I've been finding it pretty difficult to adapt to heads up play and hit a run of bad luck over a few days - particularly in AIPF situations. I'll spare you the details as I'm sure you're all familiar with the type of stuff I'm talking about. Unfortunately it also coincided with moving up so back down I went to rebuild my confidence.

I'm continuing to plug away though and I've managed to stick to the goals I set myself at the beginning of the month (apart from the make money part obv). I was probably a bit niaive to think I could just step in and dominate at the lower limits.

I'm just going to keep playing and studying the game and the results will follow. I might book a coaching session with a hu player at the end of the month to go over my hand histories and point out any leaks. Reviewing them myself has pointed out a few mistakes that I'm trying to rectify.

A breakeven month certainly wouldn't be the end of the world.

Hey Millar

So your playing $11 hu sng's now? Is this just while you get the HU environment mastered?

What level you looking to be playing on going? You'll need a sick roi to make any kind of living from $11 games?

All the best, Dave.

yeah decided to do a month at HU to see how it goes - up and down tbh.

Even with 63% rakeback the $11's are far too low to make any decent money.

I'm currently playing the $33's but have moved up and down over the month. The short term variance is pretty sick but I can see it start to even out now.

I'm going to post an update at the end of the month then get some coaching if i decide this is the road i want to go down.

I'm not entirely sure at the moment.

Nice one, that makes more sense...

I think HU sng's are an area where specialisation could really pay off, it's relatively speaking, a untapped facet of the game.

Maybe this will help, check out

Good site that is just for HU sng players, some sick players there that might be able to help out...

Anyways, all the best, gl, Dave.
