Share your HM2 HUD

Raise4Food — Fri, 31 May 2013 06:45:52 -0500

<p>Hey guys, anyone willing to share their HM2 HUD's?</p>
<p>I just moved from HM1 to HM2 and still have hard time finding the best HUD for MTT's. Playing around 9 tables on 24" usually, so there is not a lot of place for to many stats.</p>
<p>In HM2 I try to use this, but to often switch back to basic "default 2.0" hud, because of space, font size etc:</p>
<p>name/vpip/pfr/3bet/fold to 3bet/# of hands</p>
<p>postflop af/flop cbet/fold to flop cbet/turn cbet/fold to turn cbet/overall check raise</p>

Re: AA on the button first hand of tournament-Thoughts?

Raise4Food — Thu, 23 May 2013 08:02:00 -0500

<p>Its very low buy in live MTT, comparable to lowest online MTT's.</p>
<p>Even if its first hand and very early stages, I can't think of better options than:</p>
<p>1) flat flop with intention on getting it in on turn/river if turn card is not a K and maybe not a A/9, which complets OESD.</p>
<p>2) shove flop</p>
<p>3) shove turn</p>
<p>4) "slow play" your one pair hand to get value from weaker one pairs/enable CO to bluff his stack off to you.</p>
<p>If you run into 2 pair+, so be it. You have no reads on CO, his range could be as weak as JQ/K8+. You underplay your hand on the flop, first limper doesn't show any real strength either so no reason to beleive you're behind there.</p>
<p>You can double up early, you can bust early, both of which will be good, at least for me. You can play cash game or do whatever else without wasting your time cripled with remaining half stack (and maybe on tilt) after very first hand played for another 3-5 hours.</p>
<p>I tend to play more agressive my value hands early on especially in low buy live tournaments, if I play any at all. Build big stack early or bust early. Enjoy CG's or whatever else if you are out.</p>

AA on the button first hand of tournament-Thoughts?

JRBeav — Sat, 18 May 2013 17:34:30 -0500

<p>Live bounty tournament $150 + $25 bounty</p><p>First hand of the tournament, I am on the button $10k starting stack blinds 25/50</p><p>UTG (30 something female) limps:  Folds to hijack who limps, CO folds and I look down at AA.</p><p>Hero bets $375; blinds fold, UTG and hijack flat. pot is $1,200</p><p>Flop Kc 10s 6d</p><p>UTC checks, hijack checks, bets $1,000.  UTG flats, hijack raises to $3,000. Hero tanks and calls (I hate my play here) UTG insta-calls. </p><p>Pot is now $10,200 and the turn is 5c</p><p>UTG checks, hijack bets $5,000, hero pukes in his mouth and folds, UTG folds. </p><p> </p><p>My question is with the check raise:  I feel like this is a fold or shove spot.  I hate getting $200 bbs in early with just an overpair to the board.  On the other hand, folding just feels really weak.  Thoughts?</p><p>Is there any way I get it all in on the turn?  I'm pretty sure I am ahead of the UTG as I think she leads the turn with two pair or a set.  The bet size by the hijack is strange to me.  Why does he leave $1625 behind?  I think he is  </p>

maxii89 — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 16:12:05 -0500

<p>but big possibility is that player 4 will be keeping pushing next hand as well , and then I think I will barely have a hand better than A4, also with less than 10 BB stack.Will be forced to fold as well.</p>

Standard fold everytime or is there another way to play?

ceagles10 — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 23:13:41 -0600

<p>Pokerstars: The Big $27.50</p>
<p>Blinds 50/200/400</p>
<p>Villian moves to table 2 hands prior, no past HUD history with player.</p>
<p>Villian's stack is 7717 to start hand.</p>
<p>Hero's stack is 12371 to stack hand.</p>
<p>Villian opens pot with a 4x UTG</p>
<p>Action folds to hero in HJ. Hero has AQdd and folds.</p>
<p>Villian gets no action and picks up pot.</p>
<p>I feel like this is a pretty standard fold given I have no history with villian and he opens for a full 4x. My intitial thought was he has hand like JJ or QQ and possibly worst pairs.</p>
<p>My intentions were to open pot if folded too and probably would have 3 bet any standard opens.</p>
<p>Just looking for some thoughts. Anyone think there is another play here?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
