lower stakes HU NL not beatable?

[Shizzle12345]

I started to play some 100NL hu, and pple said its not beatable, because of the rake. Is that true? There are alot of idiots sitting in, an dif you got a edge you can easily destroy them.. So shouldnt that make up for it. And what about rakeback?

[Rakshasa]

It's beatable despite the rake. Different sites have different rake structures though so take that into consideration. Ipoker caps rake at $1 HU while FTP caps it at $0.50. Still, you can make an argument for not playing HU unless you're rolled for NL400 or so.

Limit > not beatable
NL > beatable

If you're playing 50 or 100nl think of it this way.

150+ hands per table/hour
@ 50nl = 1 stack+, that has "disappeared"
@ 100nl = prolly 2/3 of a stack has "disappeared"

Do you have that kind of an edge on your competition ?

that is the question.

I don't pay anything close to $50 per 150 hands at 100NL. I don't know where you got those numbers from, but they're way off. According to PT's rake stats, (which are off for 6max but could be right for HU) I paid 4.60 in rake during a 160 hand session at one table yesterday.

Heads-Up: rake will be collected on "1-on-1" tables at a rate of $0.05 rake per $1.00 in the pot, up to a maximum of $0.50 rake per hand.

If you're very loose pf 50+ VPIP (like a lot of lower stakes HU players), raise + call + flop bet/call pretty much maxs out your rake at 100nl.

My figures are a bit over but not too far off. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Wow it sure is beatable ,have only been playing n/l cash 100 3 weeks, and in that time i have played at least 30 different players and won over $1000,and only one session have i been eaten away by the rake,and that was this morning, because me and the other player were so evenly matched ,i should have just left the table but i was to proud to stand up first(i am an idiot sometimes). gl at the tables jus

Ask lj to post his graph, he seems to think it is beatable
