prima rake on heads up

[greatwhite]

I played heads up for about 2 hours last night at .50-1 against a total donk on Pokertime. However, I seemed to be running very end near the end of the session and ended down $30 or 30 bbs. However, at the end of this session he was down $115 or 115 bbs. I have not noticed the rake being this high before. It took 145 bbs in 2 hours. Is it possible to overcome this?

Thats the story of playing HU at small stakes and lower.

Rake free or higher stakes?

Rooms are going to have to lower the rake to make low limit HU viable.

I like Eurobet for this. Having it capped at 0,05$ at 0,25-0,50 and 0,15$ at 0,5-1,0 it usually makes the rake% around 2% 0,15 of average pot of 5$ it's like 3%. Works for me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Add RB to that and its even lower.

If they take 15c at 0.5/1 that will cost each of you about 7.5BB/100. Some pots will be smaller so you might only pay 5BB/100.

You'll be doing well to beat that unless your opponents are very poor.

Even at 10/20, prima caps at $1, which is beatable but consumes a fair chunk of your profit. UB and Paradise are much better value.
