your views on heads up play

timebomb10

people such as jungleman12 have made an extremely good living from this, im starting at the 2p/4p till i become experienced heads up player as ive only just started studying heads up cash was just wondering your views about heads up play  and what you prefer

loonytoons

The thing with heads up low stakes cash is the rake can hurt you both! if you both have £1000 at the table and the winner comes away with £1923 he is happy but if you both have £5 and the winner comes away with £8.60 you feel robbed lol

DOHHHHHHH

Its such a brutal game !!!!!......

But I love it.......

Anyways i prefer 9 handed, but feel more comfortabe 6 handed

This is correct. Even at £5/£10 the rake is a little frustrating...

My advice would be to build up roll playing 6max and then make the transition much later on.

The rake IS capped heads-up. I don't know why you would think otherwise.
In fact it is capped at a lower level than for games where more people are playing.

That's very cryptic and not very helpful.

It would be great if you could explain what you meant by your post.
