After a monster flop call

The guy makes a monster flop call, and he's a pretty conservative player, so I assume he has something. What bet amount is appropriate after the flop? He checks and shows weakness, so I should push, but how much? Another $1.80? $5?

Mid - High Stakes HU Multitablers

I have noticed a lot of mid to high stakes heads up players will play or sit waiting at 4 tables or more. Seeing how the meta game is the most important in a heads up match how can these guys handle this many tables?

One would think these guys are playing on auto pilot and if so can this be profitable in the long run?

Conversely would it be advantageous to seek out and ...

Bankroll Question

If you have a bankroll that says you should play 100NL, can you play a 100NL DEEP STACK table (where the blinds are 0.50/1.00 but the max buy in is $200) and still be okay?

I'm not sure if bankroll management is dictated by the blinds or the max buyin because I am dumb.

Thanks.

High Stakes Heads Up Players

I have noticed a lot of high stakes ($200/$400 and up) players are confidently and constantly pushing all in on the flop with any flush or open ended straight draw. Is this a profitable play in the long run taking into consideration the 35% you will hit your flush along with the fold equity?

Can this or do you apply this aggressive/semi-bluff play to your regular HU arsenal?

Lastly, which type of game do you ...

Pushing Hands Preflop HU

Lets say you are playing a solid player like "Fundmyaudi", they usually raise 3x from the button, sometimes reraised you 4x out of position and usually fold when you are the one reraising their button raise 4x. So its very much preflop war for the most part.

If they 4x your standard button raise and you're holding AKo - is this a pushing hand? My gut says yes for the most part but my brain ...

Great Heads Up Video, Varience and BR

As my title said, great heads up video. This is one type of game I need to improve my play in. That being said please feel free to keep making more heads up videos in the future.

What kind of bankroll do you suggest having when playing heads up? Obviously this type of game will have the most variance, so the bankroll suggested in your article for 6 max won't be sufficient to sustain the ...

River Play

If your opponent/s check on the river and you're in position do you generally always bet with nothing? I understand taking things into consideration like board texture and opponents image is important but even if those pieces of information were missing, to me checking the river seems like the ultimate white flag being waved.

What was your initial online poker career like?

Hey Tim and Errol,

Just curious what your initial online poker career was like ? I did listen to your podcast where you went over this briefly but I was wondering specifically:

Aprox. how long did it take you to progress to each new level (e.i. 10N ...25NL...50NL ect.) ?
Did you get "stuck" at any one level for an unusually long time ?
Did you have to move down a level at any time ...

Sit N Go's vs. Cash Games

I have been applying your teachings with great success at short handed cash games but some days I just don't hit any
flops and I decide to take a break from that and go play a couple of SNG's.

I find the style you apply in cash games translates very well in SNG's with the acception of having to be ultra aggressive at the right time dictated by the blinds. One of the complains I ...

Table Selection

What stats do you look for when selecting a table? I use TableRatings as well as another "tool" which highlights such things as VPIP, PFR & total of $$$ won or lost at that table. Do you guys use any special "tools" ?

I see both pros and cons with either a tight or loose table. Each requiring a different style, this is how i generally play:

TIGHT TABLE = Blind stealing heaven. Very easy ...
