Hey HUSNG fourm,I recently became a Standard Member and need help with finding videos according to my preferences: I just started to play Heads-up Sng's (Super-Turbo I think) a couple days ago with my first depoist of on Full Tilt. I started playing at $1 matches (trying to do bankroll managment) won a couple matches so I moved up to $2.10 matches thinking that there was very little difference between skill levels and won more at that level (Bankroll is now at around $80). At this point I knew I was running hot so I tried to go up another level to $5.15 and thats were I managed to get my bankroll down to $30... and now I'm going to start back at $1 HU SNG matches.Now trying to learn the fundamental of HU SNG Super Turbo's and learning how to improve my skill level. I did look at some of the fundamental video's but then noticed that they talking about Regular Speed matches, I believe that you play them using different strategies then Super Turbos, so if some of the more advanced members in this area of expertise could show me and others in the same boat as me the video necessary to improve.Thanks
Welcome, you are correct, strategies do differ, particularly when comparing early parts of regular speed matches (or even turbo speeds) to super turbos. This is due to the effective stack size adjustments for the most part.
