We have two video packs, one beginner to intermediate and one advanced, on our website. Go to "video packs" and click on one of Barewire's two packs, he's a great mid to high stakes regular heads up cash player, one of the few teachers who has been consistently winning since black friday (relocated American too) in the six figures each year.

We also have plenty of free heads up cash videos (mostly by Barewire, also a few by Katipo), found under forums and free poker videos forum.


O word eh nice

You are welcome, I'm glad the free videos are helping you. If you ever start playing HUSNGs at a higher level or full time, consider our paid options (they are even higher level material, but designed for people who have the time to study the material, and motivation/goal to play regularly).

Good luck!

This is the first of two videos by coach Pbogz of http://www.husng.com. Here he talks about the first blind level play. It covers hyper turbos, which are a fast paced, short stack form of SNGs that has quickly become the most popular sit and go format in recent years.

Hi Ryan, thanks for putting up all this free content. It is taking me a long time to get through it all since I'm a full time wage-slave and fulltime mom...but I'm getting through it all slowly but surely a couple videos and articles per night.

My main concern is trying to improve my endgame as it relates to STTs and MTTs. I am pretty good at getting myself to heads up, and then I feel I lose more than my fair share, even when I have them outchipped at the start of heads up.

I wonder if there is any content on your website that addresses heads up play after playing down from a full table. Or, are the concepts pretty much interchangeable?

Also, I play primarily live and I wonder if your website has any content that calls out the differences there.

Hey there, here are some links to some free heads up cash clips that we have (if you like these and want to give heads up cash a full try, the author of most of these is Barewire/Krab42, and he has two heads up cash packs for sale on our site under "Video Packs" tab).

Here are links to free heads up cash clips/videos

Hi Ryan, thanks for putting up all this free content. It is taking me a long time to get through it all since I'm a full time wage-slave and fulltime mom...but I'm getting through it all slowly but surely a couple videos and articles per night.

Hey,

I've ran into other people looking for the same thing. The consensus is that the situations are really the same thing heads up, whether at the end of a 6 max, 9 man, 180 man, big MTT or heads up sit and go. It's all about the stack sizes. Usually, stack sizes are a bit shallower, so I would recommend taking a look at our hyper turbo videos (in Video Packs, we have a lot for sale, but we have many free as well).

The free ones can be found in this free videos section - http://www.husng.com/forums/general-strategy-forums/free-poker-videos-forum

One thing to also consider - Your average opponent is not likely to be too great heads up, so pay attention to a lot of really unbalanced strategies. Your opponent may only limp strong hands, or always limp weak hands and raise strong hands. That sort of stuff is very common and the better you get at heads up, the more you'll recognize "hey, this guy is televising his hand ranges so often, I see a lot of ways I can gain an edge against him."

Good luck!

The final video in Mattraq1's creative play video series sees Matt fully leveraging his experience against this opponent, who is a regular at turbos, and discussing how to interpret his opponent's moves. Although Matt had great success against this opponent, he still notes some of the weaknesses and strengths that reviewing his play in retrospect has helped him to see.
