Not going to play HU for at least 2 months. Book it.

- Don't have enough tilt control
- Lower edge than 6max/9max
- Less skill

Just played a guy who constantly (read: every flop) frontbet 2 into 2.85. Played well but the guy kept hitting his hands and I missed mine. Luckily I stopped before I tilted. Blew 1.6 buyins in the process though.

Put in most of the pot with him drawing to 3 outs. As usual, he hits. Don't think I can fold river - keep in mind he does this flop/turn betting pattern everytime, so you can't read into it. River looks bad but he really has a 7 or AQ or is bluffing, and pot odds dictate a call.

No reason to believe he's going to fold to a 1/2 pot river shove. Have to c/f the river, too bad.

sounds like you just ran bad; 1.6 buyins is nothing considering HU variance and it sounds like you have a huge edge over this guy. I also thought HU winrates were potentially the highest but I could be way off base here.

I do understand the tilt aspect though. If hu tilts you too hard ring games are for the better.
