As of now I believe it is the only husng book available.
I found it to be a good primer for new or newer players transitioning into heads up sngs.
I particularly would point you towards the chapters on exploiting different player tendencies.
As for the value of the book, it all depends on where you are at as a player and how you learn.
I am subjective, but I would say for $40 more you get access to something like 100+ husng videos on this site and it should be multiples more valuable to you than any book out there.
Many people would buy both and if you're somebody who learns well from reading, Moshman has the only book out there for husngs.
If you have played 1000 games at the $10 level with 14.34% ROI then you are throwing away money by not moving up. Your ROI might drop slightly moving up through the $20s and $30s but your profit and money per hour should soar compared to what you are making at the $10s.
With a winrate like that moving up in stakes will help your profit significantly more than any other piece of advice.
I will move to 20$ soon,but first I have to change the poker room.Now i'm playing at Ipoker,but sometimes I believe here are too many bad beats.I want to move Poker Stars or Full Tilt(or another one,but these two are the first priority).Please tell me which site do you play and which in your opinion could be more profitable for HU SNG players.
Full Tilt offers better rakeback for low to mid stakes players.
PokerStars can be equal or better for higher volume mid stakes or higher stakes players. If you play high volume at high stakes then Stars is probably your best bet. It all depends how quickly you feel you will progress.
Cake and Bodog are other good options.
Traffic wise, for husngs, PokerStars has the most traffic, followed by FTP. Then there is a big drop but still decent traffic on Cake and Bodog (Bodog only goes up to $100s but is very fishy).
If you want to see the bonuses and rakeback offers that we have for these rooms, check out our rakeback.husng.com page. There you will find the best deals for rakeback and signup bonuses. You will also earn a free subscription to our site in any month that you rake 500 MGR, making our rakeback program by far the best deal for heads up sng players.
I had an account at Full Tilt created some years ago,but never deposited in it and never earned FTP points,but i think I can't take any rackeback if I already have an account.Right?
FTP now allows people in your case the chance to get rakeback, but I believe there is a waiting list and it's a case by case basis.
I would email FTP, I believe they use only one rakeback provider for these "transfer" accounts, rakebackpros I believe.
That is your only shot at getting rakeback through FTP in your case without violating the site's terms and conditions.
The first account you earn Full Tilt points on is the account you keep forever as far as they are concerned. If you haven't earned any Full Tilt points on any account then you shouldn't have any problems making a new account with rakeback.
I emailed FT and they told me that I can't make another account,but they said to me something about a list and a program for rackback that they are working at it.They told to me they put me on the list.
I'm like 99.9% sure that if you just start a new account (assuming you never earned any Full Tilt points) you won't be bothered at all. I've never encountered anyone having a problem with it and last time I talked to the guys running our affiliate they hadn't either. I've been through this scenario with a few players without issues.
They told me to not open another account because that is a violation of their rules.I think I'm not able to open another account because I already write there my personal dates,adress etc.I told you,never earned any FT points and not played real money
Yea, you don't need to break their terms and conditions at all. People do it, but it doesn't mean you should.
What I would do is just take my business elseware and let them know why.
I had the same problem, an account, never funded, never used to play any poker games or accept any transfers (no ftp pts) that I made many years ago just to watch Ivey play when a friend told me he was playing 5-10 or 3-6. I just don't play there, it's not like FTP is far and away the best site in the world or anything. Even if you prefer Stars over FTP or FTP over Stars, there isn't a huge difference. And if you play low to mid stakes you're better off at Bodog or Cake.
Well,I sent yesterday another account to Full Tilt about this rackback problem.I told them I have an old account never used,never play real money on it,no FPP and that I would like to take this Rackback offer somehow .Here is the answer:
"Although Full Tilt Poker does not offer rakeback directly to players, our preferred affiliate partner RakeBackPros.com offers rakeback to players who sign up through their website with Full Tilt Poker.
We've sent your player details to RakeBackPros.com and they will be in direct contact with you."
I think maybe it's a chance!Maybe this think will help you Rypac13
And a question.Why do you think it's better to play low to mid stakes HU at Bodog or Cake that Ful Tilt?
Games are softer on Bodog and you get about the same return for rake paid with Bodog's offers.
Cake may only be slightly softer than FTP but you can get higher % rakeback and a nice deposit bonus.
Also, I mentioned that rakebackpros.com thing earlier in the thread. They didn't have that until semi recently, unfortunately my FTP account is associated with a very old email I can't get into so I'd have to figure out a way to get my account details sorted out with FTP before applying to the rakebackpros.com thing.
So,what should I do now?Need to wait rackbackpros.com to contact me?Or,I should make an account at rackbackpros(I don't think so,they told me they sent my details to them)? I don't have an account at rackbackpros.I would like to make a deposit these days.If I make a deposit before rackbackpros contacts me,I loose the rackback?
Email rakebackpros.com and tell them you have an existing FTP account that has never been funded or used in any way and you were told to talk to them for rakeback.
They should set you up with rakeback and then you can deposit. I wouldn't do anything until they tell you to though.

Edit all those details out and do it anyway. The worst thing they do in these situations is close one of the accounts and put the money in the other.

I don't want to risk.If they told me I can't make another account,need to be true.But still regret I can't take the rackback offer
