Sorry to hear about your poor results.If you're interested in becoming a winning player, I'm more than happy to help you find and eliminate some leaks in your game in this thread.Which videos did you watch?  What's your total sample and results look like?  We can get more detailed and helpful as the thread builds, but lets start with that (assuming you are interested).

>roi -42%its a variance, play more!

Where are you playing?100 game samples are quite low and many of our recent videos for standard members are leakfinders, made by members/students playing the same level games that you are playing and being reviewed by coaches.But I'd rather just focus on finding out why you aren't winning and helping you improve.Shoot me your screen name at the site you play if you can, and I'd like to do a leakfinder video or HH review for you that we can put up on the site so anybody can have input if they'd like.  If you don't want to post your screenname public, you can email it to me rypac13@husng.com.I'd rather look at specific/full HHs, but about your comment of playing a guy that cbets 100%, you'd absolutely call a cbet from them with 2nd pair on a dry board.  If it's their first overbet there may be some additional considerations, depending on what you've seen previously from their 100% cbet.It's not as easy as just having a formula approach to the game, but we absolutely don't stress that at all in the videos.  I'm confident we can help you though, if you're willing to work with me here.

It seems your mindset is very poor at this point.  This can happen to many players and it isn't easy to fix.  Very few of these videos cover any topics to help mindset but there are a couple that I'm sure rypac can point out.  There are also a few books that might or some coaches offer mindset training.Obviously 100 games isn't a very big sample, but if your confidence is shot then you need to get it back before you start winning again.It could also be that regs are picking on you now.  Do you always sit first?  Have you sharkscoped the players that you end up playing against?  Are they losers or winners?

Ok thanks.What I'd like to do for you is either review a HH here on the forums or do a leakfinder here on the site for you.  No charge for this at all.You can email me a HH rypac13@husng.com and I'll post it in the hand review forum with advice (don't worry about any bad play, you're not going to be berated or laughed at, this is for improving, that's the entire focus).  Just pick a match that represents some of the situations that you're getting in that you are unsure of or feel the opponents are playing very well/tough in.A few other things to mention: It's tough to improve a huge amount if you're only playing 200-300 games a month (unless you're studying a ton to go along with that/coaching/reviewing, but for the level you're at you should spend over half your time playing and probably a lot more).  Moving up a level or two every 6 months or so might be reasonable, but going from $5s to $100s (without just being very lucky) in 6 or even 12 months is very unrealistic for most, but especially so for lower volume.I don't want to get stuck on the following, but I would like to point out (in fairness to the site), that your stats since your standard subscription over 7 or 8 months ago are much nicer than -42% ROI:1,802$1  $15  6%$1,396  

Also, your last subscription ended November 13th, 2010 I believe.Since then, there have been a lot more standard videos for low to mid stakes players that deal with higher levels of aggression (and newer videos are labeled much better than the older ones).From our heads up video guide (note: many of these came out after your subscription ended 8 months ago and these are all standard videos):Videos Against Aggressive Heads Up SNG Opponents (for Low and Mid Stakes Players) RyPac13's Aggressive Leakfinder Series Part 3 - RyPac reviews play against an aggressive opponent.  He explains that long term leaks can result from overplaying weak draws, discusses 3-bet ranges, the flexibility needed against wide open raisers and how to use aggression to fight aggression, specifically in the short stack area of the match. Fydor_8 HUSNG Leakfinder 11/01/10 - Discussion at the $33 + 1.50 turbo level facing a loose aggressive opponent.  Discussion includes adjustments against the LAG, avoiding the common flaws like weak and passive adjustments and some suggestions of non traditional adjustments to help exploit this opponent type. RyPac13's Aggressive Leakfinder Series Part 4 - Discussion during leakfinder review about combining early reads with general playerbase observations to make superior decisions.  Continuation bet size manipulation and the importance of not over reacting to early aggression are also discussed. Skates Video 01b - Passive preflop play against a loose aggressive thinking opponent at the $33 + 1.50 turbo speed level. Cog Dissonance Video 43 - Cog Dissonance discusses his decision making while playing three aggressive opponents at the $10 + .50 level. RyPac13 Video 27 - The importance of recognizing early opponent actions is discussed as well as the impact that they have on your adjustments throughout the match.  Limping vs raising, multiple street bets and bet sizing are also discussed.  The video is a review of a student facing an aggressive opponent at the $33 + 1.50 level. RyPac13 Video 28 - Part 2 of Video 27's review against an aggressive opponent at the $33 + 1.50 level.  Mid to end game concepts against aggressive players come up.  Considering new information into your overall decision making as the effective stack sizes decrease is also discussed. Cog Dissonance Video 27 - Majority of the video is against a tight-aggressive opponent.  The last match is shorter and against a loose-aggressive opponent. RyPac13's Aggressive Leakfinder Series Part 2 - Leakfinder review that covers reactions to large bet and raise sizes from your opponent.  Also talks about some quick adjustments against aggressive players that can be effective.  Video 1 is against a less aggressive opponent but should provide value to those that enjoyed parts 2-4.

Dude, there's no way to be successful in poker with such a whiny attitude. If things aren't going your way, u simply have to work harder, period.  U can't expect that watching a bunch of videos will automatically make u a winner. It's one thing to understand concepts presented in the videos and quite different thing to implement them correctly and in the right spots.That being said,There's no money Heads-Up. EVERYONE'S SOLID!!!

Read your words again, it really sounds like bad run + some tilt.Even if you were running OK before, 2k games of building profit and then 100 games of horrible results is much more likely to be bad run + tilt than you running hot for 2k games then running "normal" and being so bad for 100 games.I'm still offering to do a HH or video review for you, I think we can help you but it requires effort, focus and hard work on the player's part.I've lost 50 buyins before at one point before making it all back and winning some, it's very easy to lose confidence over small samples of losing streaks, even if you've consistently won before that.  But you have to stay confident and focused, otherwise you're just playing more games with less edge during your downswing.  You're also still in the learning process, especially with only 200-300 games per month, so you're more prone to having a bad month or two than an experienced regular.This game is more like market trading than working for somebody, results are what you put into the game and no matter how good you are you can lose in the short term.  100 games is very short, 500 games is the short term still (some pros play 500 games in under 2 weeks), you have to maintain the course and work hard on your game otherwise you won't expect to or likely achieve good results.  But the profit potential is there, always has been and still is.  There's a reason why the best players keep making more and more money from heads up sngs each and every year, it's because the games are nowhere near dead or unbeatable.

I notice you state that your troubles began at the $15 level after you had success at $10 and $20 games.This would lead me to believe your problems occured after Stars implmemented changes to HU strcuture. I too had issue with the new format and was having horrible swings at the Turbo games (which I only ever played) and was forced to swtich to regular speed. I used to detest regular speed games because of the time they took, but have found great success now.I found 3 min blinds to be absurd, since the 3rd level at 20-40 plays just like 25-50 used to, and you are there after 6 minutes instead of 10.Anyhow, I do think that since the changes were implemented that you are right in saying the game has become very aggressive and has led to greater variance most likely. So try playing a slower game. With 6 min blinds as opposed to 10, it isnt so bad anymore.

Thanks, I'll review it later today and should have it up on the forums here.  I'll change your sn, even though you posted it here, I usually change to HERO anyways in reviews.

Hey man, i'm only playing 7's atm but have had success in mid stake mtts, and if you want id be up for to sweat you sometime. It may just help to go through your thought process live, to help focus and stop tilt. Hit me up on skype if you do, my sn is Antagonistical-Jay

Loose opponents call a lot wider, so value betting wider is a great adjustment.  Finding spots where they are weak and bluffing them can also be a great strategy.  It varies between people, one lag may rarely give up on big bluffs and be willing to stick it in with nothing, while another may just give a lot of initial aggression that you can break down with aggression of your own.There's never really going to be a system strategy for dealing with every opponent, it's just better to focus on adjusting to each opponent as best you can.  You might be able to get away with a very rigid and unadaptive strategy and still win money in the $5, 10, 20 levels, but it won't last that long and you'll never dominate to your true potential.Post some hands in the HH review forum, that can help get feedback and help you to really identify and exploit these lags the best way possible.  Your frustration shows, and there's nothing wrong with that, but the only answer or solution is to just keep as level a head as you can and work to learn more and improve.

Your focus has to be on EV which has 2 parts: chips you win because opponents folds too frequent and chips you win because opponents call too frequent. Thinking is these 2 extremes is a first stepHardest part about EV is transitioning to find spots where you do not win enough based on the equity of your hand but when you consider the amount they fold, combined it is +EV spot (and vice versa of course).For the rest it is observing opponent, figuring out how they think and play and match it with the best exploitive (max EV) play.Practicing, reading, learning, thinking why they gave you a hard time and such will make this process easier and easier.

For the KJ hand, it depends on your opponent.  If he check raises the flop wide/gets it in light, you just reraise for value.  If his range is very strong + very weak (polarized, meaning 2 pair, trips, straights, top pairs and then bluffs) and there are a lot of bluffs in his range, give it a call.There are other factors that can change things or go into it too, but you always want to be thinking about what types of hands your opponent can make plays with.  Sometimes it may be as wide as "any hand except [insert very specific hand you feel strongly he plays another way]."  That's ok, often wide ranges from low stakes players are too weak and very exploitable.

Come back study with us Peter, this is just std variance and little tilt ya know it...Also ur ROI is like 9-10% over 3k games... So the videos must have helped abit
