husng.com interview

awesome man!

Nice!

How did you find a hot girl that let's you grind in peace, I will never understand

I live in Brazil, so there goes half of that problem

Well when I was a kid I watched South American telenovelas and bitches be crazy needy in them - guess that might not be a completely accurate portrayal of reality? Mind.Blown.

Also all Brazilians I met were not rly hot, guess you guys export the ugly ones?

It's just very polarized, most are fugly or gorgeous, so you don't have to deal with 5/10s, 6/10s

Read it all thanks, huge motivation

Such pretty graphs )

Big inspiration as always.

interesting, had no clue about the whole "cartel" thing at HU SNGs before. keep crushing helio =o

Charles Hawk: Do you think it would be possible to be in relationship if you would be live cash reg? Helio “hneves182” Neves: Everything is possible if you make the best out of it, I know a guy who lives in Vegas and is a live cash pro that is married with 2 kids and still manages to put in a lot of hours at the tables, and is quite stable.

wh00sel?

yep

cartels are a pretty new thing, at least on smaller stakes than 1ks, it all started around the end of last year

"Helio “hneves182” Neves: The cartel groups work is simple: if you're in, you sit outsiders opensitting. That way we don't have the ridiculously large sharky lines that we had last year.

Charles Hawk: How about playing each other? Are you allowed to do that?

Helio “hneves182” Neves: Sure, nobody gets protection."


I didnt quite get this

I dont understand the cartel thing either..

Yeah, I just explained it without taking into account people that have 0 idea what it is would read it, and so did him, most of the site's audience has an idea at least.

HUsng lobbies work like this: a reg sits, waits for a fish, fish sits reg, next reg sits next lobby (could simulsit another reg). Then someone came up with a program that creates a line and let's you choose what you want, to sit an empty lobby and/or sit X type of opponentes (based on PS color note tag)

This created a bumhunter-like enviroment after a while, since a lot of regs wouldn't sit regs and just wait for their turn. After some time, people moved up and stakes started getting crowded, and nobody was beating newcomers down to the previous stakes. Some of us were trying, but the lines were still too big and at peak hours it was over 40ppl long to get a seat, play a fish in a 3mins match and go back to the end of the line.

So starting from the higher stakes, people started organizing and deciding that the better regs had to start pushing the worst ones/bumhunters down. The groups were formed and after battling and swapping members to get the best fighters inside, eventually things started looking better. At $100 stakes there were maybe 200-300 guys considered regs, today our group has 85, so we don't have to wait at the end of huge lines anymore

Hope that explains it a little bit. This made sure sngs wouldn't end up like HU cash, and it was possible because you're forced to play someone that sits you in a sng. So if you're weak you just gonna have to move the fk down.

So what if you are not part of the group? Cant you just opensit anyone you want? Or even empty lobbies?

Obv anyone can sit anyone who is on a lobby, but if anyone but us gets an empty one, we snapsit that person. And the only way to play fish is by being on a empty lobby and waiting for a fish, so we have tham all to ourselves.

Woop woop

sick interview man :D It was a nice read! Been hanging out with some of the hyper sng players here in the poker community in Mexico... when I first heard of them talking about the "cartel" I thought they were just trying to sound cool, didn't realize it was like a real thing until I read the interview Keep up the good work man, and congrats with the cute gf
