I didn't read the article too closely but that should help with the basics.
If you have a face card and a 10 before the flop, I'd say call or bet small (to draw your opponent in and see the flop). If you have a pair or face cards before the flop, definitely bet the pot or more to try to force them to fold. Don't chase a flush or a straight after fourth street, just fold and move on to the next hand. Never discount 3 of a kind (aka: trips), and sometimes a low pair can scoop a pot if you can tell opponent is weak/bluffing.
Don't worry about calling either the blinds or a small pot pre-flop and then folding if you're big-stacking. If you're low-stacked then it's best to play tight and not go all-in or bet big unless you know for sure that you have the better hand.
(Disclaimer: this is advice only for the poker in HI, not at a real table; I play loose in HI, tight at a real table)
That being said, the way poker is coded in HI isn't the best (and probably isn't supposed to be), and at times I felt like the girls would dump a big pot to the player when they shouldn't have. Sometimes I'd just always hit "call" out of boredom and end up winning after 10 or 15 mins.
Hope this helps!
