Hey guys!
I think I'm finally beating the 10s... I've been a mtt player before giving HU a try. (I've also played NLHE and FL 6-max cash games as well). In this start at HU, I've been using a 100 bi BR management. And It's PRETTY NIT! But I'm nit, thats a fact. I can stand a lot of swings, this affect me so much...
I'd like some advice for you about BR strategy. Is this 100 bi BR management will hold me back a lot?

There is very little skill difference between the $10s and the $33s. Holding yourself back a level or two can easily be halving your hourly profit. Being nitty at higher stakes while you are comfortable with the living you are making is one thing, but using bankroll management this nitty for moving up is basically like breaking your leg before running a marathon.
Good point xSCWx.
I've been playing HU for almost 2 months, and I've decided to start from the very beginning (at the 5s) to just learn the mechanic of the game. With 100 games played I've moved up w/ 15%. Now I'm almost 400 games at 10s but w/ 5% of roi (I've lost around 16 bi in a stupid tilt I had because of my terrible internet).
What the most nit BR management you would recommend for these limits? ($21s and $33s)????
I'd like to move up to the $21 this week and play some games there, and moving up quickly until I reach the BR management.
NOTE: I have a $2k BR and play 2 non-turbo tables at once.
I wrote an article on bankroll management here:

I intentionally made the lower stakes have very aggressive bankroll management because I assume that for most people replacing a $75 bankroll won't be terribly difficult. Your bankroll size sounds fine for playing high, but the 5% ROI worries me a little. You want to be sure that you are still learning while you play and not on autopilot.
For me, playing two tables is exactly the same as playing 1 table; however, for a lot of other people playing two tables rushes them to the point where they have to autopilot they can't learn anything. Optimally, you want to be learning while you play so your skill level allows you to move up along with your bankroll. If multitabling hinders your learning then it could be hurting you more than helping you - just keep that in mind.
Thanks again!
This 5% rois is basically because of my internet problems + the tilt it caused. I've excluded this two terribles session of my filter and it have shown 17%+ roi over 170 games. I know it's really small sample, but I think it's fine.
Waht you've said about autopilot is so true. I can play 2 tables w/ full atention all the time. Choosing non tubo games is also a good point, because I have more time to think about my plays as well.
