Isn\'t 60% a low win rate for HU?
 

Over the long run I have a 60% win rate in the 20s and 50s heads up matches on stars. Recently as I have been clogging some leaks and reworking my game I am at over 70%. Is it possible that a true heads up master could retain such a rate over thousands of games? Keep in mind I'm playing on stars with deep stacks and I am better than avg at hand reading and getting into my opps head.

Thanks,

Indy

Of course you are. In which case, you should be winning 95% of the time.

This is a pretty serious post. Actually I have been over 70% while parlaying the heads up game with a SNG or MTT at the same time. I truly "believe" that I could crush my opponent better than 75% of the time if I put myself to it, I just don't have the data to back up this "belief."

Get the data, and THEN you'll know.

EDIT: Serously, if what you heard was 60% for a good player, then instead of asking just play and find out for yourself.

Also, at a 75% ROI, wouldnt you need to win like 95% of the time. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

it depends on a lot of things i think, but i think that at the lower stakes games %s over 65% or so are probably quite doable.

more later, busy here, just wanted to chime in. and oh yeah, vote!

Well you better hope you don't play me, I'd put a huge dent into your ROI [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

60% isn't low.

How many hundreds (or thousands) of HU matches have you played?

Do you mean threads on ROI or threads on HU?

Oh wait, it doesn't matter! The answer is "yes" to both!

i was actually wondering this sometime yesterday, as i looked at my stats for the party/skins 11s, my winrate is 64% over around 300 or so, and i think i play very well heads up, and taking account the times i am way outchipped/even and outdrawn

Everyone give a shoutout of their stats/level/sample size, interesting to see, then we can brag about it and try to back it up at future STTFHUC's.
