Improving play in heads up pots

[WalkAmongUs]

One of the key things for me is that at lower limits my winning hands did two things:

1) made up for the money lost by my errors
2) made money above and beyond making up for my errors

Now my winning hands are winning less so they are no longer performing function number 1.

This in turn has made my errors in play glaring and has forced me to plug leaks.

at .5/1 you can have big leaks you never notice because they get lost in these huge pots you win. at 2/4 making mistakes DIRECTLY leads to LOSING MONEY. If I make 4 BB worth of mistakes and now my AA only takes down 2 BB I'm in the hole.

Now, I'm not saying 2/4 is a hard game to beat. I'm simply saying it forces you to consider different lines and to polish up your game.

I moved back down to .5/1 and am currently crushing it again. I can easily make 7BB/100 at .5/1

Part of your problem may be that you don't have an appreciation for what a sustainable winrate is.

This is truth.

yeah and if by some stretch of the imagination, you actually could sustain that, you would absolutely destroy 1/2 and 2/4 at the very least .. and would make more by playing them

Half the pots you play on 6 max are heads up. I think that would help more than .02/.04. I doubt there is any serious play there and it would seem to be a waste of time.

Go spend a few thousand hands at Party 1/2 6 max and see how it turns out.

I think you are wrong. HU 0.02/0.04 gives you the chance to play a WIDE variety of opponents HU and very cheap. There are passives, agressives, maniacs, idiots etc. and it's not at all uncommon to play tough opponents.

Party 1/2 6 max is not what I would call serious play.
