Re: Just as short handed play helps full ring...
At small stakes, the rake HU is generally killer. If you want to play HU, you probably want to hit up the stars nanos. A little HU while you wait for a table to fill up isn't a big deal, but if you're wanting to challenge someone to a 50 BB freeze out or something, the rake will murder you.

Eh, 5/10 is the point where the rake finally starts to get better after really sucking for a while. I'd consider it, but I'd want to be assured of an extremely big edge over my opponent. |

Re: Just as short handed play helps full ring...
i like to "warm up" sometimes by playing a $5 limit HU tourney on stars. you get in lots of hands, only play .25 in rake, and if you do it often enough you'll see every kind of HU style. I still get run over a little by the total maniacs, but I haven't caught any cards vs them yet either.
with weak passives the cards tend not to matter as much, and I can flex a little before diving into the short cash games. good times. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |
