I know this might sounds crazy to you because you are playing small stakes. If you are serious about making money playing Heads Up Sit and Go (HUSnG) you will find it worth while to purchase a premium membership. I am not kidding or just blowing smoke. I get no compensation for recommending this. I just know that the videos I recommended to you will help just about any new player to become a winner at this game.Watching the videos by PrimordialAA and MWJ006 will give you an overall approach to this game. You will have a basic strategy for playing against unknown opponents. You will also learn how to adjust your strategy for different types of opponents.When you add the video by Cog Dissonance to the mix, you will have absolutely no problem identifying and adjusting to various types of opponents. I don't think I have seen a video by anyone who does a better job explaining how to identify and adjust to your opponents than Cog.Doyle Brunson wrote in the introduction of the original Super System that the key to No Limit Holdem was position and knowing your opponent. After learning, understanding and applying what is taught in these three videos you will most definantly understand somethings about position and adjusting to your opponents.The End Game videos should increase your edge against your opponents. I have taken four HUSnG courses and I visit two HUSnG forums on a regular basis and one HUSnG forum on a semi regular basis. No one else I know of teaches End Game like mersennary.In my not so humble opinion, the above mentioned videos should be put together and advertised as "The Basic Fundamentals of Heads Up Sit and Go for Beginners Pack". It should be stickied on the forums under "All New Players Start Here".If you just can't afford to get the premium membership (I have been there) then get the standard part of the ones I mentioned and check out the link Rypac posted.PaulIB_FishingEndorsing The Basic Fundamentals of Heads Up Sit and Go for Beginners Pack without Compensation
This may undermine the idea of your premium content and if it does then i understand why you wouldnt do it. Is there no chance that you could create one or two videos for end game which isnt premium content. Its a pretty huge part of the game. If there are videos for this specificaly that is standard content then i apologise!
There certainly are some end game specific videos in the standard membership. Here are a few from the video planning guide I linked to earlier in this thread: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. 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.
