Beatable. Not close.

But its not easy and you wont beat it without table selection and fairly good poker.

Reminds me of the first time I played some low limit heads up limit a few years ago on UB where me and my opponent both sat with $50 and after a half hour or so I had $43 and he had $37.

Anyhow, you could always move a little money over to WPEX since they have 75% rakeback.

almost impossible to beat until you get to 5/10, and then you really should table select well.

I think at lower stakes it is worth practicing some HUHU, but if I was trying to make money off of it I would move up to 5/10 as soon as I felt comfortable/ was rolled.

and watch out, variance is a beeotch

Its a hell of a lot steeper in some places. I got bored the other day and played some 3-6 HU on AP and I bet they were taking at least $1 a hand. Wont ever do that again. I'd have to run hawt as hell just to stay ahead of the rake and make any $$
