Table selection

best advice is learn how to play HU well enough that you can survive starting a table. The true donks love to sit down with 10BB or less HU and just try to double up or bust out. If you have some good notes and stats you can identify whether the next few people are fish or sharks when they sit down, and decide whether to stay at a table. Quite often I am able to relieve a donk of 5-8BBs in the dozen or so hands before the rest of the table fills in, and if it looks too tight and taggish I just get up and start a new table.

the fish hate to wait to play, they just want to sit down and gamble. they are going to head for the open tables, and having a new table with open seats to your right is always nice.

This is excellent advice as well as Nfinity's post.
For those that struggle when starting tables, it may just be variance or maybe you should get some heads up practice.

The micros HULA tournament wa a goldmine for HU practice vs skilled players. Many of your teammates will provide practice sessions with you as well.
