This makes no sense to me. Why is it generally considered to be weird or illogical to ask what a terrible, bad, medium bad, medium, medium good, good, great, excellent, and world class long term winrate would be for heads-up nlhe. I mean, in the SNG forums you constantly see people discussing what kinds of ROI's seem to be normal and acheivable for a player of such and such skill level, and it kind of makes sense that human beings discuss this.

Think about it... say you were in college and you were trying to major in something so that you could go get a job in that field when you graduated. Say you were an electrical engineering major. Say you made a post like this, in some electrical engineering forum:

Hey guys. I just graduated from college with an electrical engineering degree, what would a good realistic salary be for me if I graduated in the top 5% of my class. Thanks.

Would these responses seem normal or logical to you?:

Re: Salary:

Hey, if you are making more than $0 a year, you should be happy. Any positive salary is a good salary.

Re2: Salary:

Hey, don't focus on what a normal and acheivable salary is for you, just try to focus on the day to day tasks and hope that you get paid a salary



Lol, as you can see, these would be kinda silly responses in this similar scenario, yet for some reason, everyone seems to think these are the types of responses they should give in winrate discussions.

I strongly disagree with this fad, and I hope that one day people can grow up and be willing to talk about this taboo subject. I mean, porn used to be taboo, and now its not, well kinda not, and now I can look at hot asian chicks on teh interweb. See, getting rid of taboos is fun. Come on guys, who's with me!!?!?? Lolz.
