Hi, i'm a nl100 cash game player and i want to start husng turbo and regular speed while waiting for cg action. I've been playing for 3 days now and a total of 45sng 20$. My goal is not to whine here but i just want to understand the variance in sng. I have no friends who play, i never read anything on husng, basically, i have no idea what i'm doing :p (of course i have my cash game experience). So can you just tell me if this graph is standard? run bad but not that much? run very bad? run extremely bad?
In my opinion i would not take this graph too serious.
45 Games is not even close to a good sample.
On this homepage, YouTube, or just the world wide web you find tons of free videos for Heads Up. I recommend you watch a couple of those and take a lot of notes to these. What's really important too is that you watch good players how they play and also get a view into 3bet-shove and calling ranges and know the basic of them in your mind before go back at the HU tables i would say.
Another point is your HUD. Use a HU HUD. You have HM2 wich is great for make a solid HU HUD by yourself. Check the web for more to this too.
After watching all free vids here and there and make lots of notes and put all the stuff together, you will definitely beat the micros, and your graph will look way different. But try to bring more games in before judge your play :)
Have fun on the progress and good luck my friend. I hope i could help a little bit with my thoughts.
Regards
Thanks for your answer. Like i said i'm a full time hu cg player so i already have a hu hud and i know that this graph is not a good sample to judge my skills. I'm pretty sure i beat the 20$ husng already (but for sure i need improvement and i will look the vids that you recommended) but my question is about short term variance.
If we take hu cash game (bumhunt) for exemple, i would say that in 3000 hands:
- 5 bi under ev = standard
-10 bi under ev = running very bad
-15 bi under ev = running extremely bad
So i just want an idea of what this graph that i posted represent. I just started husng so i don't know how the variance look like. Do people have these kind of graph every months? is it standard to be -14 starting stack under ev (1500 chips) in 1700 hands/45sng?
I'm interested to see how people can run bad or good on husng. So if you have a graph with some bad or good ev, post it :)
