HU NL Cash questions which never get answered (winrate, variance etc.)

[Psy_Mike]

Hey!

It's really hard to find info on HU NL Cash info such as winrates, BR reqs, Variance and other very basic stuff.


So I was hoping to get a discussion going about these things and we might be able to add them to the coming FAQ.

Topics that I would love to see answered/discussed:

* Winrate for HU Cash (both NL and limit)
* Bankroll reqs for NL and limit
* What variance to expect in HU cash
* Any other 'basic' topic which is sort of unexplored in the HU scene.

Thanks!

I can tell you that variance is HU-[censored]-MONGOUS if you are playing someone you only have a small edge against. The variance is pretty small if you have a big edge.

-I think you should probably have a higher BB/100 HU if you are a good player. Table selection is key in HU since obviously you only have one opponent to make money from.
-Maybe 40-50 buyins. Just play lower than you usually do in 6m or full tables.
-Don't know. More variance than 6max tables.

Variance is not determined by how big an edge you have.
