$2 heads up on FTP

[ImBetterDude]

If you are even half way compatent in NL Texas Hold 'Em, you can win 70% of the time playing the turbo $2 NL heads up games. I think my winning percentage is around 80%, no joke.

I think if someone had the patience and motivation, they could multitable the $2 turbo heads up games and make like $20/hr, cuz half the games end in 3 minutes due to opponent being all in on 25% of their hands preflop.

Someone with time and the ability to stick to an ABC game plan should test this theory and play as many $2 heads up games as they can in like a 2 hour span.

I actually played 3 $11 turbo HU on bodog AFTER busting out at a cash game. In my very tilted and tired state of mind I still won all three.

Now, I wouldn't suggest playing on tilt or tired but it does go to show that anybody with half their brain cells firing can do well at HU turbo's

My first day on Cake, I played one of these. It was an easy win as my opponent was a complete and total rock, but I found it flat out boring. It was tedious and took me a little off my game as I found a couple instances where I was pushing the guy when I shouldn't have.

The $2 HU games have a large rake compared to other levels at 7.5%. You should never pay over 5% for single HUSNG. Besides a strong winning player will almost certainly be profitable at higher levels.

I've been starting to learn this game recently. From a small sample size I'm good up to the $11. Unfortunately my foray into the $22 ended in tilt induced disaster after my first opponant survived 6 allins and I blew my bankroll yet again with stupid play afterwards. The worst thing was I ended up playing HU Omaha once by accident! That was $23 straight down the drain as I'm play money standard at that game.

I'll give it a few days and then come back for more punishment. Maybe one of these days I'll learn to control myself and hold onto my winnings.

I was playing some morfe $11 HU last night. On the last sng I had entered a $115 one on accident!!!!!

I was lucky enough to get a really bad HU player and ended up winning in like 3 hands. PHEW

This is why I usually use the custom option so I don't get the wrong tourny! You're better off getting the wrong stakes rather than the wrong game, although you might not see it that way if you lose. Maybe I should be playing on Bodog rather than Full Tilt, or somewhere else perhaps as my options aren't restricted. I need softer games at the $10-$22 level I usually play at for various tournies.

I think playing $2 HU turbos is very profitable, but, as mentioned earlier, if you are just above average you should be making more money in the $10 and $20 HU turbos... i actually think I beat those games fairly constant and easily... not the same history on the $30 and $50 turbos (specially the $50 turbos). on those limits Ive had a really really hard time to make some money, it can be done but you will face some though opponents, and even the donkeys will get lucky some times lol...overall I think $20 HU turbos on pokerstars are the most profitable for me
