Cool. What merge site did you decide on?

How would you rate the difficulty of 2$ HU SNGs vs NL5/NL10 6 max games?

haha, this is pretty cool. i recently did this after cashing out my AP bankroll and finding that i had ~$18 left on stars. little bit of degen br management went into the 12table shortstacking 2nl for a while, but it's been fun!

You get quite a lot weaker player pool at $2-10 HU SnG than 6max $5-$10, but it can be hard to exploit them for a beginner as you have to play more thinly than you have to at 6max, and you blind out eventually

Try player999's strat. Raise half their stack preflop, then win in like 6 hands. It's hilariously effective at times. I'd do it all day if it werent for the tilt of losing 10 in a row when they call with 24o and stuff.

Which site did you try and how is the software?

Yeah I was raising 7bb against some . I don't like halfstack raises when you have limited BR as you just create unnecessary short term variance

Merge and BLuff Room, I found a betting script for Merge with auto click betting field, assignable hotkeys, pre-defined table locations and more. Its miles from tableninja, and you need to tweak with it a lot but it is workable.

Merge software is decent but miles from the pimped up Pokerstars engine. Filters are just for Low stakes overall, there is no sit out next big blind button and no built in pre-defined table locations.

It has all basics though like automuck, autopost, autorebuy, check fold, super fast support, waiting lists, players flop and average pot ... If you play 4-6 tables its 100% functional, and more if you master the bet pot script.

I would like to point out that the pokerpoopy being special is special not for his skill, because as you said a monkey could short stack, but its special because of the epic grind and commitment required. Don't even know the guy but I respect the grind, don't hate >.> lol

Well grind in SSS =/= Grind in deep poker. You are putting WAY less pressure on your brain when you SSS...Its so easy to master and you have just 1 street adjustments that that the 'grind' just becomes how fast you can click buttons, like flipping burgers or making donuts, just with a lot more money. I don't see you praising millions menial workers for their heroism for doing the same effort/ skill requiredfor minimum wage
