Hey all, Im new at this.. have some basic questions.

Hi there.. I just started playing HUSNG's after playing NL50 sixmax for 2years. I was a winner, pretty poor though like 6,5bbs/100 or so. And after having kids and getting a house its really hard to find time playing poker and it seems that husngs are much more convenient for me.Anyway i've started to play around at  turbo 5-10$ level at ongame and fulltilt and they seems definately beatable for me,they seem really fishy somtimes. A big part of my roll disappeared when i had a pregnant girl friend + got screwed buy affiliate which made me play bad as hell for a while.So it seems like a good plays to start.Now I have 50% RB at ongame and 30% at FullTilt. The rake is higher at ongame and fulltilt is better at all points except maybe tougher games, or are they tougher at all? How  did the black friday change the competition???So what site do you prefer?If you would 'translate' HUSNG to Cash in terms of skills... Is HUSNG 20$ like  HUNL50$ or something??What kind of swings should i expect in the turbo's, i mean like really normal swings, not the insane sick ones... is it like 15buy ins or somethingI understand that it depends how well i play but i dont have sufficient sample size yet.. ROI is 8% after 150 or something....And last but most important..., I have issues to construct my calling range vs shoves in the late game. Its not easy to know their shoving range as youll never see them again..I really appreciate any answers..have a nice day and run good.

The $30s or $50s might be

The $30s or $50s might be similar to 50NL hu cash.  It's hard to say, hu cash is really soft at those levels but the rake is just really a huge negative factor in that game.  And of course, as you move up, action is terrible in hu cash and games get much tougher.Use the variance calculator link on the right side of this page to get an idea of the swings you can expect with a winrate over certain sample sizes.As for calling range vs shoves in the end game, I would default with something a bit tighter than the nash equalibrium.  If you think your opponent is shoving as wide as Nash SB chart, then just use the Nash BB literally, otherwise you should be somewhat tighter than that vs many opponents.
