Small stakes heads up has to be the easiest game in the world. One thing I noticed is that although a 5k sample size means absolutely nothing in FR where you play 1 or 2 hands every orbit, you play about every other hand in HU, so my assumption is you don't need as big of a sample size to show if you have an edge.

Granted I'm not saying I have a 30ptbb edge because that's probably absolutely ridiculous, I noticed the NL50 HU "regulars" are BAD and they have 5-10ptbb edges... soooo that's saying something.

This is like free money.

PS: Waiting for doomswitch.

I think the reason why it's so easy is because unlike other games, there are as many fish as there are regs. In NL100 FR it's like a 4-to-1 nit to fish ratio, but here it's like 1-to-1 or something.

I don't there is anything to be said about me being a good HU player at all because I don't think I am. There's just so many bad people.

thats a very solid upswing at lowstakes HU. Although, not close to maintainable itlr, 5-10 is very solid and whats expected from most without significant leaks.

lol a nl2 army, so sick, get a logo like "edzwoo intellidonks" "+EV YO"

gl w/ that n stuff,

People are really that bad at micro/low HU? Seems too good to be true. I don't have any HU experience but I can't imagine why a person who doesn't really know the game would want to go heads up? If you guys really think it's just as easy if not easier than micro/low 6 max then maybe I should take on learning HU.

HU is very high variance and takes a large roll, great tilt control and a solid understanding of flop play to win itlr, although at lower limits ppl are so passive and ez to run over it can be fun

Most of the people at small stakes are terrible and can't fold A high or any pair on any street, so I have to keep giving up unless I have a ton of equity.

HU takes a lot of concentration and you can't play multiple tables like you can with full ring or 6 max, the swings are also much larger. It can seem easy until you hit a massive downswing and none of your plays work then add in the fact that people like to hit and run and you have a sick game of a variance.

You still need a very big sample to determine HU edge. One of the reasons being that momentum and game flow plays such a huge roll in determining how a match ends up going, especially at lower stakes.

what wackass site is this nigga?

Well HU is easier than 6max or FR

But the big problem with HU is that Varince is sooo Hughe ....
Atm u have a solid upswing ( And trust me , i have been there myself i played NL 100 on stars quite abit as a HU reg)

But things look totally different when u get a doomswitch and lose 12BI in 300 hands solely to setups where u cant fold + suckouts
there are just sooo many situations in HU where u simply cant fold.

U see what i did there with A8 ? He 4 bets and there we go insta jam A8 : ---booooom -- . hahahaha ( Krantz)

That's my hu Graph and I wouldn't recommend playing it unless you have a 30k bankroll. I lost 10 buyins to the biggest drooler ever and had several -400$ days, needless to say it wasn't very fun. I think you've been running very good so far and so have I in this graph.

Doesn't that depend on the stakes though? The rake on nl100 is super high and it takes away from non sd winnings IMO
