How to start with heads up SnG´s

Hello, I think about to start with  heads up poker. At moment I play cash games on 888 poker but just NL2 but im a winning player in the next month I should come to NL4.^^ ( I started with poker this year ... )

Oh, and yes I play texas holdem.

But now I want to start also with heads up but I dont know where I should start. I have found a lot of free videos on husng.com but what is the best for beginners?

I would like to play the heads up turbos on 888 poker with 0,55$ buy-in.

Can you give me any good articels or videos for total heads up beginners?

Btw. I have a bankroll of $43,88 is that enough for 0,55$ heads up SnG´s?

And what do you think about the idea to start with playmoney just to get a better feeling in heads up?

I hope I dont bored you with my noob questions.  <^_^>

My vids.. PBogz.. will help

My vids.. PBogz.. will help with learning husng's for sure.
Your bankroll is fine as long as you play those lower limits for now. Play money is a waste of time.
Goodluck!

Yeah start off on the turbo's

Yeah start off on the turbo's or even the standard's just for getting some hu experience. I wouldn't think you could run too bad playing .50 with $43 in your account; + you will get a feel for whether hu is for you or not.

one thing to note about the

one thing to note about the micro stakes is often they are raked at a high %. so if the $0.55 games are 0.50 + .005 i.e. 10% rake then that will harm your win rate and may not compensate for the factt hat the players there will be weaker.
 
with regard to the free content here:
coffeeyay's coffee break series gives a good intro into some fundamentals
pobgz's videos are accessible too for new husnger's and are packed full of solid strategy advice. rypac13 explains everything in a logical manner and you can follow him step by step into some pretty high levels of thinking because of his style. ph33rox's leakfinders are excellent too and helped me a bunch. 
if you are coming from a cash background one thing you should absolutely be looking into is endgame concepts. read around, look at the relevant sections in the excellent mersseneary ebook, read up on  nash and how it applies to shallow stack depths etc
 
good luck, sir.
 
cheers,
TEDDY

You might also want to have a look at the micro stakes HUSNGs on Full Tilt. They also offer $0.50 games and the is slightly lower, certainly for  the turbo games. Also if you move up to the $1 games the rake drops again to 8% for reg speed and 7% for turbos.
