Relatively new to playing strictly 55'and I like the one major difference. When heads up lasts longer and poker is actually played for the most part not a push fest. I realize this is because 2000 more chips in play but really enjoy getting to play someone heads up finally /images/graemlins/smile.gif.

Yeah...I was planning on moving straight to party 55's (from pokerroom) when I have the roll and 8 table it. But it seems like EVERYONE is there.

Whats your sample size?

True that. Although, a huge edge of ours is that people at the lower limits don't know how to correctly respond to the rising blinds in the end game.

Just over 100 at 55's guess over 2500 33's. Think in evening peak hours 55 still kind of soft. Still will 33 during day if playing then.

I dont think you have played enough hands, because its usually a push fest. And if your trying to play "poker" when the blinds are big than youre playing incorrectly.

Even with the added 75/150 blind level and 10,000 chips I'm still at a push fest in the $55s/$109s....

If you like HU so much play some HU games on another site like stars.

Maybe it was too small of sample then, thanks for input.
