HU Pressure

100+ buy ins could do the trick

play 6max
it works for me

dont play microstakes HU u can not beat the rake. I repeat, there is NO way to beat the rake, barring a sick heater.

Is that true SfydjkLm ?
Shouldn't be your edge in HU big enough to overcome the rake ? I mean in HU you have a bigger edge than in 6max(if you are better than your opponents ofc).

im fairly sure i can beat micro stakes HU at 15ptbb at least, so yes you can beat the rake

also when you play just keep telling urself to not to stupid moves, no stupid bluffs, no stupid calls, just try to play well, at all time, no matter what the results are, no matter if someone hits and run you, just focus on keeping your composure

haha considering i have huge tilt problem even on 6max i would probably lose my br in one night while playing hu

of course you can beat the rake. You just have to play good.
For the pressure - as lebowski said, 100 bi makes you feel very comfortable so play low enough that you dont care for ~10 buy ins swing

for me, playing hu is being in a state of constant controlled tilt.

the rake on HU tables is 0.05 per 1$ in the pot, capped at .5. Hence to cap, you only need to put 10$ in the pot, or 20bb at NL50.
If you were to put 10$ every hand, youd be raked 100bb/100, but given that it doesnt happen that often, i will not venture a guess how often but from my personal experience i lose 50bb to rake in 300 hands, hence losing 16.6bb/100, or 8.3ptbb/100.
Yes youre motherfucking fayth and you can beat micros at 15ptbb/100, but is that really a great idea for an amature to try to beat 8ptbb/100 rake?

edit:motherfucking.

lol except im pretty sure Fayth is not human

yea and what's he going to do? poker is small edges and with rake its laughable to even think maintaining more than 3bb/100 over a large sample is possible unless ur facing a rich millionaire whose trying to give you his money. He will not be able to force them to call no matter what caliber he is.

lets talk with facts, 16 bb/100 loss only from rake is unreal
From my samples the rake at 50nl 6max is about 4 bb/100 and at 50nl HU is almost 5bb/100 so... why are we even talking about rake.

i am talking facts sir, not hypothetical samples u keep in ur head.
everytime the pot reaches 10 dolla u lose a bb.
That means if both players fold 13 hands in a row(just fold) u lose 1bb. That means that if neither player plays a hand over a 100 hand sample u lose 7.6bb/100.

Dont know why you took my samples for hypothetical (or i didnt understand u right) but anyway I had a mistake - its $4.2/100 hands and $4.7/100 hands so 8 and 9 bb/100 - still what's the difference really?

ah nvm then, well 9bb/100 is still brutal, and also i am basing my calculations on PS rake, not PP which it seems has different system.

LoL?
He will obviously crush these faggot nits with way more than 3bb/100. You are underestimating the edge players like Fayth have over the hu micro regs.

Or you're wayway overestimating it
