the question is know how much % of the players are longterm winners ^^

do you agree that begin playing hu under 5/10 isn't a good idea because of the rake?

well i was being facetious with my statement, that's not really all you need to be in the top 20%, it takes a lot of experience to get good. Unless you are a bot.

Anyway here are things to consider

-in general people don't play hu as well as they do fr. in 2 years this probably won't be the case anymore.

-the rake is lower at most sites for hu play

-your earn rate can be much higher hu. A fantastic earn rate for 10 handed is 2bb/100. A fantastic earn rate for hu is 8bb/100

-watch out for bots.

So i think it is ok to play 5/10 under the right conditions. e.g. you have a lot of rakeback, the rake is small and your opponent is a fish.

Sadly this is pretty true. Btw, I'll tell you this, and its worth a lot of money, so even if you dismiss it initially as being too simplistic, come back to it some time and see if I was right after you play several thousand hands:

The key to achieving a high hourly winrate with low risk of ruin at HU limit hold'em is 98% game selection and 2% skill at poker.
