HUD (Heads Up Display)

For those of you that use Tracking software such as Poker Tracker And Holdem Manager you will be well aware the benefits of using a HUD especially when multitabling 4+ tables

I have played around with my HUD setup countless times over the years and it`s a right pain in the arse due to fact they differ depending on what im playing!

Today i will share my 6max cash HUD.Some people like to have a ton of information but i try to keep mine pretty minimal.I dont think it matters tbh as long as your getting the info you want and need and is all pretty logical

Here is my HM2 HUD setup


vpip - pfr
steal - fold to steal
cbet flop - turn - river
fold to cbet flop - turn - river
check raise flop - turn - river
3bet - fold to 3bet
hands - 4bet

If anyone is interested in my colour coded range just give me a shout

Eazi Game

If only it was easy!..Played a ton of $2 180`s today,majority of them getting off to a good start with decent stacks then BOOM,busted out of one after another each time getting my chips in ahead!

tbh it`s pretty standard and if you can`t handle the beats and variance in these 180 turbo`s i`d advise playing something else.

Thankfully things turned around and i managed to scrape 2 FT`s taking 5th and 1st respectively after a pretty abysmal day at the tables

Fish! Russians! Call Me Maybe...

hey you just raised me
you make me crazy
you do it every orbit
can I have aces maybe

It's hard to look tight
When you're just spewing
But I've got two jacks baby
So call me maybe?

 All the other regs
Try to chase me
But they don't have pot odds
So call me maybe?

Those fish called me baby - just took 3rd in a $2 180 for $46

Cash Game Lobby Setup

If your playing on Stars and looking for the best cash tables to sit at then i hope this helps,i tried explaining to Carp once but hopefully this post will make it easier for some of you

ok firstly go to the pokerstars main lobby and click view > lobby themes and select classic (as some of you may be using the black theme)

you will now be able to alter your cash game column settings by clicking the box that is arrowed

This will bring up the column settings and i suggest you tick the check box`s on the left which are - table,avg pot and vpip

on the right you should sort by plrs,VPIP and Avg Pot and highlight descending for all 3 of those
finally tick the check box lock setting at bottom so it should all look similar to this below

 Next we need to click on the ring game filter to setup which type of games show up in your lobby

for this example i have set up to just have one stake showing (0.01/0.02) as i dont want useless information on my lobby if this is the stakes im currently concentrating on solely.it`s also worth setting a minimum amount of players at the table as the last thing you want to do is be sat at a short handed table if full ring is what your looking to play so i set my filter for a minimum of 7 players.for full ring it`s worth filtering the VPIP to show the fishiest tables - as im a nit i set it around 30% for full ring

 obviously if you play 6 max 0.25/0.50 change the filters to reflect that and set minimum players to 4 for example

table selection is important in cash games so this should help in finding some juicier tables to play at as if your tight like me you really dont want to be sat at a table full of nits!!
