What's a good winrate? NLTRN

[selector2006]

I've played 50 HU sng's for $5 + 0.25 and I've won about 65% of them.

Is that good enough or am I terrible? I don't know what a good winrate is for HU sng's.

Hmm ask yourself this, why do I bother to compare myself to others rather then play as good as possible?

But anyways, you are usually a winning player if you win 52,5% of the games (depends on the rake) and I think its good if you are winning. It feels like 60% is like the max longterm winrate possible (50 HU SNGs is not longterm at all) so I would probably be satisfied if I had 55-60% at my level.

With that said however, I still wouldnt consider myself a good HU SNG-player if I could beat the 5+0,25 games :P.

EDIT: Like last 500 games I had a winrate of 67-69% at the 30$ for 200-300 games. Then I went extremly cold to 55% win total the next 100-200 games. That with 10 times more SNGs played then u shows the fluctuations.

It is definitely possible to have higher than 60% winrate in the long run (esp at the 5's and probably up to the 30's for some players).

65% is very good, and sustainable at those stakes for a good player, as well as a bit higher stakes probably. I played a huge number of $11 matches earlier this year while I was trying to get good at multi-tabling HU (went a few years with never being able to do this) and I was at 60.5%, while 4-tabling, I think that by 1-tabling and dropped down to the slightly worse players at $5, I could have done 65 pretty easily.

Anyway, 65% is good, 50 games is not an awesome awesome sample size, but I'd say you're at least a good player to win at that rate, yes. Your rate may go down as you play more games, but you're probably pretty good for those games.

selector2006, play at least 200 games and if you can still beat >60% feel free to move up ASAP
