It looks like somebody trying to go bust by playing heads up at too high of stakes for their bankroll.

I wouldn't play HU at $1/$2 w/o a minimum of a $1k bankroll. You have 250 bets. That's 2-3 bad days in a row, and I'm referring to 6-max. Heads up has much more variance.

I seriously think 750-1000 BBs is the necessary roll for shorthanded games.

Talking Poker 07-09-06 04:00 PM

Actually, I've been wondering about this.... Does HU really have more variance than 6 max? I mean, you've only got 1 opponent to beat, right?

I realize why 6 max has more variance than full ring, but I think by the time you get to Heads Up, it may actually go the otehr way. I'd need to think about it some more though - I'm not sure.

Don't get me wrong - obviously the PER HAND variance is going to be WAY higher, as you will be playing pretty much every hand, but I wonder if it's more likely to even out faster over the course of a session too...

i honestly had no clue about that. good explanation, but its still a ridiculous beat.
