Quick answer, Atticus
[ QUOTE ]
I've decided my HU game blows chunks, so I'm going to donate at the HU sngs for a while. So I have some clue as to when I've improved enough, What roi would be considered good? [/ QUOTE ] $50: 17% $100: 14% $200: 12% $500: 9% $1K: anything + is good I only know 3 or 4 people who have played over 500 of these things, and the above numbers are consistent with their results, and mine. Most people that play HU for a while go on a little heater and win 8-10 in a row (which isn't all that hard to do.) So, they think they are the greatest HU player in the world and they play 100 or so. They end up with a temporary ROI that is higher than the #'s I just gave you, but they eventually start running average, or poor, and get bored with HU SNGs. But for the next 6 months when anybody asks about HU SNGs they will reply "they are easy, there are so many fish. Any decent player can win 66% of the time and have a 30% ROI like me." Irieguy

[/ QUOTE ] Funny you should post this. I am new to PokerStars and have just found these things. I always thought my heads up game was the area I could improve the most, so I tried these to hone my skills. Of course, that was coming from Party where heads up is usually a push/fold situation. I really like these; they are relatively quick and you money at a higher rate which makes you feel better. I capped this off by winning the 2+2 heads up tourney last week [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: HU SNG ROI
I guess Sklansky recognised that he won't outplay Chan in the long run, so took his chance at winning it here with a pretty good hand hoping both his cards were live, or it was a race.

doesn't seem immediately horrible. what's the payout structure? [/ QUOTE ] I think first is 15k, second is nothing, they both advance to the next round (of 4 person SNGs), and I think the winner takes more chips to the next round than the loser. Not sure what the prize payout is in the next rounds, though.

I'm sure if he figures himself to be a dog, he also thinks it's by a very slim margin. I'm also sure he feels that he is a favorite when the blinds become sufficiently high, which they probably are already.

Re: HU SNG ROI

Either way, I think Sklansky folds too many small blinds. I hardly ever fold preflop in a Heads up match on stars. Is this a leak? Indy [/ QUOTE ] I don't know, are you playing against Johnny Chan? Or are you playing against people who will let you look at the flop almost always, then check to you when they miss almost always?

So you are saying that Sklansky thinks he's a better player than the 10-time WSOP bracelet winner and Hall of Famer? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
