Yeah, it's pretty good. There are some downsides though :

1. You have to play less tables, maybe only half as many
2. Lots of short stack hit and runners, in general the fish buy in short and the pros buy in full
3. The variance is sick so if you're tilt-prone at all it's not for you
4. Can be hard to find good games since you can't really table select

The worst thing for me is that it totally screws up my 6max game if I play too much HU.

i think its funny that needfood is so spewy aggressive in hu games but a huge nit otherwise

Then FrinkX decided to come use the table as AIM and keep needfood from playing more than 1 hand/5 minutes while talking [censored] about me and pdoran so I quit.

But he'll always be there, so...

[Rainclouds]

I sort of want to jump in on the hype, but I have virtually no HU experience so I think I'll be just one of the fishes. Maybe I'll start out on the 50NL tables.

[LSP16]

What about the rake??? good for small limits?
