Message: [QUOTE="light65536, post: 818566, member: 23958"] I'm also interested in any videos and strategy especially for HU SNG. I've never read any strategy and play mostly by instinct taking notes on how various players respond to bets. I find GOOD players easier to play but they are far and few between at this level. Most players fall into these categories: Bad Aggressive: Play style is categorized by raising huge amounts every time with nothing and extremely quick betting. These can be difficult to get more then a 25%-30% edge against because they are all-in every pot. My strategy with this player is to slow the game down to a crawl which gives myself time to think and makes them uninterested. Calling Stations: Call any sized bet and impossible to bluff. I bet larger against these players when I hit something big. Bluff hards: Will bluff big all the time. It can be difficult to beat them with the best hand but often second best will do. Mouses: Easy to bluff but takes a long time to play them. Money bull: The money bull will bet huge when they hit something. Ridiculous size bets $40 in the pot and they go all in. Unfortunately this type has given me a hard time because the bets do tend to look like bluffs. I've had the most success from a strategy where I try to keep the pots small and value bet with selective aggression. The reason I think this style works best for me is that the odds change dramatically when playing a premium hand in heads-up. I beat a pretty good player just now and there was at least 1 crucial pot: he had pocket Kings and I hit 2 small pair on the flop and bet into him the entire round taking that pot down. The other reason I like to keep the pots small is because if I get someone knocked down then I don't want to give them a chance to hit something big and put my stack at risk. Imagine raising with pocket Kings in heads-up and a player calls with pocket 9's and he hits his set. You bet into him and lose a large pot or take say maybe he has a larger over-pair. Small pocket pairs on a paired board are the most dangerous hand to play against because they can give someone a better full house or a full house against trips. [/QUOTE]
