HU SnG BR?

I've just begun playing HU SnGs as I enjoy them. What kind of BR should I have? Also what kind of swings should I expect?

I've already found the UB 'rematch' facility to be a goldmine...

You should have 20-25x the buyin if you're playing a lot of Heads Up games. This may be unnecessary from a mathematical point of view, but from a psychological perspective, you need to be sure a few bad beats doesnt affect your game.

Good advice. From a mathematical perspective though, you probably only need 10-15 buyins.

That depends on your winrate, of course. For me the problem is not the bankroll; its the occasional losing streak that makes having 25x+ buyins available essential.

you'd have to tilt (or suck) pretty bad to lose 15 buyins heads up.

If you stick to the same buyin level.

If you do -20, -20, then play a 50 to make up for the losses, you need the bankroll.
