Hey all,
I just wanted to ask about HU variance and ROI vs 45/90/180 man SNG tourneys. Basically these last few days ive been break even on HU SNG and it's driving me insane, I am trying to break the $200 barrier playing $5 games but every time i make it to 190+ I seem to hit a wall of variance which will not let me win a flip and drop down to $160.
After 200 games of this I am beginning to go a little insane. I love the strategy behind HU SNG but I am finding it really hard to deal with the seemingly lack of progression. I am fully aware of leaks in my game and working hard on them, but when your lagtastic friends are doing considerably better at other SNG variations I start to question the viability of HU SNG as a BR builder.
Sorry for the whine, but all I keep hearing from other people is how HU is so -EV compared to these other poker variations and after all this break even and losing games vs people shoving crazy hands and connecting, I am starting to believe them :(
Soulouri.
