Hey!
I have joined to a poker backing team and this time I got a task, what I have to do in order to join to them. This task is to play 1k HU sng 1.5$ level with their basic strategy. I got their strategy, and i think i am using it correctly (at least I feel this way). Actually they told me that that 1k sng needs about 30$ investment. So I wasn't worried about it(especially because I was winning on nl10 prty good). So I learnd their strategy and started to play those sit and goes, and have played about 130 yet. With -16% roi, totally -30$... But I also running about 9k under ev in chips. I am not sure if I am this bad, and cant even use a made strategy:f_mad:, or it is just variance... BTW. If I hold this chip ev, will I have positive ROI in the long term?

That’s tough to said. Especially that you need to play your opponent HU as well. Any player is different HU. Also, it’s good to know if you play regular, turbo or hyper HU’s. With your background as cash gamer I would play the regular HU games. Then you have more time to use your post flop skills in your advantage.

Don’t forget to post hands on our Hand discussions for Sit and Go-Tournaments board and I think it’s also smart to tell your Hud stats as well if you have them.

Cheers,

lol do you think its a good backing team? Sounds for me like a bad joke if they tell you that you need only $30 for 1k Sngs on 1.50s. Even on 1.50s you can lose easily $30 in just one session if you run/play bad at least in HU Hyper but that can happend even in Turbo speed games.
It´s also nothing special if you havent won any money after 1k games in HU Hyper or HU Turbo because of running under EV. I´m pretty sure that this can happen also in Reg Speed HU.

My record was over 60 buy-ins under EV in HU Hyper (sample ~7k games). But I have saw graphs with even more buy-ins under EV.

Yea, even I didn't think that it is possible, by the way, the administrator(or whoever did the interview with me) may be meant that at the end I am going to have that amount of - . I am not sure. I would be rly happy if I could ask someone about backing teams, but sadly i don't know anyone, who could help me. By the way their HU coach seems reasonable. It is 5rayfinkle5. If you, or someone could help me about backing team (to decide if it is good or not) you are welcome.

I know a backing team. But they stake only for cash games. If you want a HU Sng staking then you can checkout also this team: http://landing.propokerbacking.com

But to best honest I would never recommend someone to start in 2017 with HU Hyper Sngs because of bots etc.
I would recommend to play 6max cash game or MTTs. Even if online Poker dies and you are good in 6max cash or MTTs then it´s easier to go over to live games.
