What would you recommend as a strategy to become a heads up cash specialist and move up the levels? Is it possible to work up from the micro stakes e.g. 2p/4p or is it better to start with HUSNGs as the rake is relatively high at those levels.
How many hands a week would you recommend as a target for a player looking to improve?
Would you recommend railing other HU cash players as a good way to learn?
Do you think playing HU cash will improve your 6 max cash game and vice versa?
Would you say maths/odds or psychology/reading your opponent are the best aspects to work on for heads up cash?
What are the main adjustments you would make when moving from MTTs to heads up Cash?
Are there any books or other resources you would recommend?
Cheers,
Doug

What tilts me is rudeness from other players who rant and rave about everything they think you've done wrong in the hand, when they are actually showing their own weakness in the mental game by losing control in the first place.
In terms of what tilts Redmond, I would imagine he is at a high enough level to be fairly unaffected by the environment and behaviour of other players. I would expect however he sets high standards for himself and is likely to get titled if he feels he is having an off day and is not playing up to his usual standards and letting weaker players get the best of him.

bad food habbits at the table,talking when eating spiting bits out, makeing noises when eating.....
What adivce would redmond offer inparticular to an mtt player whos winning at lower stakes but struggles when moving up a level? This is something ive struggled with, and ive went from being a small winning player to a heavy losing player. Ive tried dropping back down and results returned to normal, but when i moved up again i started to struggle.
Cheers,
Doug
Still in the main and mini... hope I can make it to the cash.
Starting to play like a bit of a turnip now though however.

on the official olympic website forum they're all talking about greghogg's "my name is..."
The issue ive had i dont think is psycological in the terms youve mentioned. Ive satted into higher events inc that even at DTD James mentioned MacMonster got to the final tasble in and finnsihed day 1C 2nd in chips behind Chris Brammer, so although i ran good i think this proves its not scared money.
The issue i have is say moving from £2 tournaments to £5 tournaments. At the times ive attempted to move up ive just not managed it. Ive satted into even bigger events example the event i mentioned above and countless main events and a couple of SPTs and ive never felt like the money has effected me, ive just played my normal game. Although i do think adapting to better opponents is an issue.
I tried moving to cash to try and combat variance which is what i origionally put it down to but being honest cash and me just dont get along.
The reason i asked is i just cant put my finger onto the reasons why now. I go from a decent winning player to a massive fish is the differance of one tournament buy in.
in regards to quiz tonight.
i think what would make red see RED would be a situation where a player angle shoots. I remember 1 example in particular where james was commentating on the EPT grand final where ivan frietez said raise on the river and only puts in a call and he had a FH and was madeto min raise. Other guy calls and loses with just top pair, and worse still he had already done it before in the tournament.
