FT Super Turbos Help

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,

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.  We do have a good selection of super turbo/end game oriented videos that you should find helpful.The following videos from our heads up poker video planning guide should be a good starting point (there should also be some other videos I may not have added to the guide yet that are available to you that have to do with end game or super turbos specifically).End Game Starting Point Videos (Beginner and Intermediate) Mersenneary Video 8 - Student footage is used to introduce basic end game theory.  Discussion on how continuation bet sizing from the small blind and preflop flat calling ranges from the big blind change when playing at short effective stacks. RyPac13 Video 09 - RyPac goes over the basics of the end game with a hand by hand demonstration through a replayer.  He then plays a pair of matches to demonstrate some of the concepts he discussed.  This video references the NASH Equalibrium. Fydor_8 Video 11 - Fydor reviews a student's end game in this video.  The visual quality of this video is sub par, however the content quality is very high for beginner players.  PrimordialAA Video 20 - End game concepts demonstrated on the original Full Tilt super turbo structure (10bb effective starting stacks), including some math and graphs at the end of the video. PrimordialAA Video 21 - End game concepts demonstrated on the Cake network's super turbo structure from the $12 to $250 buyin levels.Super Turbo Heads Up SNG Videos (Beginner and Intermediate) *Note* End game videos can be applied to super turbo strategy and vice versa.  This is because super turbo heads up sng structures only take place in short stack situations, commonly referred to as "end game" situations. Cog Dissonance Super Turbo Heads Up SNG Guide - Good primer for players starting out in this structure.  Powerpoint slides with concepts are featured as well as hands being replayed in between slides to demonstrate various concepts.  Cog Dissonance Super Turbo Series Part 1 (Starting out) - $2 + .10 level super turbo games are played. Cog Dissonance Super Turbo Series Part 2 - $5 + .15 and $10 + .25 level super turbo games are played.
