Re: At what point do I know if I\'m any good? and other questions...

That's precisely the problem with them. For example, on UB at $10 HU SNG costs you $11. If you win one then lose one, you're now down $2, so, you have to do much better than break even to show a profit.

Yep. The vig causes a .500 player to be a loser. On Stars, where I play, the breakeven point is .525. At .551, I'm profitable, but slightly....which matches my assessment of my headsup skill level; good, but not great. Again, I only play them as a break from my regular grind, I'm not ever planning to specialize in them. A decent, if maybe flawed, way to think of it is to compare your winning percentage to a major league baseball team. .550 is good, .600 is great, and .700 is 1927 Yankees. I would doubt that anything above .700 would be sustainable for any long period, and even that would be iffy for all but the greatest players. Just a guess though.
