Pardon my ignorance, but what's a martingale?
From the context of the conversation I'm guessing it's playing a bunch of HU matches in a row - escalating the buy-in if you lose.
Anyone?

Google & Wiki are your friends for this one - some interesting articles and calculators.
Originally a Blackjack theory - basically if you start with a small bet, and double it every time you lose, eventually you'll win and come out ahead. What it doesn't consider is the fact that Casinos have maximum bets / maximum payouts, which means that when you hit a dry spell, you're gonna tap out and lose a bundle.
