When I first started coaching with sakisaki everyone was asking me if I was gonna be learning HU since he's a HU specialist. That was never my plan - I was a 6max guy and learning a new form of poker sounded daunting. Plus my BR was hurting and I wanted to rebuild to a level where I could actually get some profits. Then of course, I just had so much to learn about 6max.
Now I've learned sooooooo much from the coaching and feel my 6max game has improved like crazy. There's still more to learn, but I realized that the areas I want to improve would be served by learning HU. Basically postflop poker and hand reading are what I need to get better at and if I can become a good HU poker it will greatly improve my 6max postflop/hand reading game.
So I asked sakisaki to teach me HU now and he's agreed! Awesome =) My plan is to finish out this weekend / jan playing NL100/NL200 6max and then starting monday I will switch into my HU lessons. Feb will be a HU month. I'm excited!
