fydor_8's Readless Hyper Turbo Sit N Gos Part I

In this first of two video, http://www.husng.com 's fydor_8, a veteran video maker who had previously left the game but recently has returned and been enjoying a lot of success playing hyper turbo heads up sit n gos, reviews games he played "readless" - that is, games he played against opponents that he had not played before and thus did not have "reads" on. Although the game itself is quick, Fydor discusses each hand in great detail, giving us a good glimpse at his thought process when he makes his decisions.

CoffeeHUD For HU Cash Updated To 1.0.1

Hi everyone!

Today we have updated the HU Cash edition of CoffeeHUD. The major update for this version is that all of the CoffeeHUD elements have been renamed just as we had done with the 2.0.4 update for the HUSNG edition of CoffeeHUD. This is intended to resolve rare installation errors that have occured in the past. While working on this update, a few errors were detected and fixed as well. Most notably, the counter for hands vs minraise in bb was not filtering correctly for the 10-13 bb line, which has now been fixed.

It is highly recommended that CoffeeHUD for HU Cash users who are using a version of PokerTracker that is 4.11 or newer perform a full cache rebuild in the Database Management window of PT4. We have seen reports suggesting that this is necessary any time you create custom stats or import a custom add-on (such as a custom HUD, like CoffeeHUD). If you are using PT versions from 4.10.6 to 4.10.9, this is not necessary. Fortunately, the steps themselves are simple. From the main PT4 screen, select as follows: "Database", "Database Management", "Rebuild Cache", "Full Cache Rebuild".

While the previous version was called 1.0a, today's update carries the version number of 1.0.1 to better align it with the versioning system that is used for the HUSNG edition of CoffeeHUD.

Just as we have done with the past two updates to the HUSNG edition, this update to the HU Cash addition will cause the updated profiles to be installed in parallel with the previous 1.0a profiles in order to prevent your own customizations to the HUD from being discarded and to give you time to transition into using the new updated profile. We have already added all 1.0a users to 1.0.1 access. All you have to do to install this updated version is start (or re-start, if it is already running) PT4 itself.

As with the previous version, this release of CoffeeHUD for HU Cash has both a 0-30 bb filters "capped" profile and a 0-150 bb filters "deep stack" profile. In the past, a few CoffeeHUD HU Cash customers had only the "capped" profile. With the release of this update, we have corrected this and now everyone that has access to CoffeeHUD for HU Cash will see both profiles in their list of HUDs.

CoffeeHUD is an on screen display add-on for poker tracking software. We produce two editions for PokerTracker 4, the HUSNG and HU Cash editions mentioned in this announcement, and an HUSNG edition for Holdem Manager 2 with Notecaddy.

If you encounter any errors or have any trouble in using the HUD, or if you would like to have your old 1.0a profiles removed after you have transitioned to using 1.0.1, please contact us through e-mail at membership@husng.com.

Katipo Hyper Turbo HUSNG Vs Very Aggressive Opponent

Katipo of HUSNG.com plays hyper turbo heads up sit n gos at the $120 level on Black Chip Poker against an extremely aggressive opponent. Opponents who exhibit such extreme deviations from expected play require greater than normal adjustments to exploit and not be caught off guard. This video is also a great demonstration of our CoffeeHUD heads-up display add-on for PokerTracker 4, as Katipo uses it heavily to highlight his opponent's aggressive tendencies.

First up are seven videos from Mattraq1. In the first five, Matt teaches about a variety of deep stack play play concepts, and in the final two, Matt puts these concepts into action with reviews of games from the $55 and $110 levels.

Next are three videos from Faarcyde. In the first, the veteran producer discusses several topics related to making early adjustments, and in the next two, he analyzes in depth sixteen specially curated hands to illustrate these topics.

The last video in the pack features Coffeeyay, the veteran video author, poker software designer and coach, reviewing games he played against RyPac13 (me).

Hey I have built my bankroll up to $612 from freeroll winnings playing primarily heads up and single table sit n gos and I will take any of you biatches down.... lol just kidding but I think all this technology funded playing styles takes away from the true essence of the game - I have always been able to recognize patterns on my own and crush souls.... No one I know will even play me live heads up except one guy who asks for 5 cards in Omaha hi lo to my 4 and still he never wins.
