See how he does it in his many free videos on this site or his video packs.
nice one there thanks for sharing Barewire got you on skype this week and wish you could have some action (watch you couple time and no action for you at normal table) very smart from stars i think its a good way to make HU cash alive and less bumhunting in the lobby waiting for a bit of action.

Dont Let Variance Affect You!
J6o limped pot vs fish, board runs out 76222. Fish limps then stabs flop, check check turn you check river he half pots you check raise small.
If you're sure he doesn't have a 7 I'm guessing 6x is more likely so maybe a larger raise to get him off a chop makes more sense? Or you're thinking he can call down with A-high K-high? Or just the fact that you're so sure you're good you raise so you don't have to showdown hand also?
Yeah that limped pot was a hilarious hand to have show up in a 5 minute sample video...this is basically a line I never take but I guess it's a good example of paying attention to your opponent and always being creative rather than taking the standard line every time!
I was essentially quite confident (>95% sure) that villain's hand is worse than 33 and also was playing someone with an absurdly high aggression frequency. Knowing he rarely has anything good enough to call a lead I think checking is the clear way to start the hand, and once he doesn't bet some massive amount (a more likely choice with quads) I want to try and extract value. He's usually bluffing but occasionally betting something like A high that he thinks is good, so I want to raise the best size vs that type of hand. An exact minraise is probably even better to be honest but the idea is still the same. Hope that helps!

Nice video. I`d like to ask u a question about bankroll managment in zoom hu. How many buyins is optimal in your opinon? This is first time i see it and im thinking to start playing this kind of games little bit.
I'd treat zoom hu very similarly to battling regs at that same limit, since the majority of volume in the pool will be against regs. Personally I'd aim to have 50 buyins at least for my limit but there's no harm in setting short stop losses and playing a little bit looser than that. Good luck in zoom!
