Some newbie questions and comments.

I signed up to the site today, and a I have a few questions about the site.  I'm a 6max cash micro player that has recently fallen in love with husngs.  Today I watched Primo's intro and intermediate vids, and will probably watch his advanced ones tomorrow, but I'm at a loss where to go to next.  I'm wondering which instructors or which videos you would recommend to a beginning husng player playing at the <$10 level.Also, is there any way to search videos by stake or by tags?And, what bankroll to you guys recommend for husngs?  I have about 1k to work with at the moment, but am currently sticking to <$10 while i learn how to play a new game.

Hi, don't have enough time to

Hi, don't have enough time to answer it all, but I'll mention the tagged stuff right now:You can search for total buyin including rake.  For example, if you're looking for $55 + 2.50 turbos, you would search for $57.50 in the search bar and every video at that stake should pop up.I'd also recommend watching Cog Dissonance for player type identification and HokieGreg for a generally well articulated sense of solid play.  There's positives on the rest of the others too, my generaly advice is to watch a few videos from each instructor and go with who you like the most.

I'm afraid this won't help

I'm afraid this won't help you at the moment, but I'm in the process of watching, rating, and cataloguging all standard membership videos on the site from the viewpoint of a player new to HU sngs.I recommend Skates' first few videos. I believe he's got the clearest and most thorough explanations for players new to HU sngs.

Maybe a tip for the new

Maybe a tip for the new members.I just found out that i also could watch some of Skates vids.With a standard membership is always use the tag STANDARD CONTENT.Seems like Skates vids dont have this tag. I think people can click the LOW STAKES tag.Thanks to qattack answer i have a lot of new ones to watch..TY.

I went through the entire

I went through the entire list of each coach's videos and prioritized them in a rough order I plan to view them. It took about two hours to list all the videos, and I chose the order based mostly upon stakes level and secondarily by the coach. There are slightly over 180 videos available to Standard members. I didn't include some miscellaneous stuff like PLO and Razz, but did include the superturbos, as they will help endgame.I just formulated a "75 Day Action Plan" which I am about to post on my blog. Basically, I will watch and take detailed notes on three videos a day, along with other study activities.I'll try to post a "Level 1" version of my recommended videos in one week, after watching all of the very low stakes/basic videos.Until then, I found MultiLax's video guide helpful for starters. It's posted in a sticky in the "Video Discussions" forum. However, I had extreme troubles with Cog's videos and skipped most of them. I will be coming back to them soon. His explanations seem to be great, probably right up there with Skates, but for some reason, my mortal brain could not comprehend his sixth sense reading and adjusting abilities.

There are really 180 videos available to standard members?  I didn't think we had passed 150 yet.

Haha, yes, I counted 183 and I think you've added two more. And as I said, I did not include the razz and PLO videos and maybe a couple others not relavent to holdem.Here's a breakdown:Primo 25Rypac 25xSCWx 7Skates 23Croixdog 4Cog 42HokieGreg 9Fydor 36 (includes new LF)ITRIEDTOWARNU 5Merseneary 2Other guest videos 10TOTAL: 188  (only counting those relavent to HE) It's not guaranteed to be pinpoint accurate, but I'm sure it's not off by more than +/-4.

Did you try the FREE video section? :)I know this isn't exclusive to members, but I counted that, as I am cataloguing all the videos.
