Hey guys,
I'm having trouble trying to find proper words for what I want to ask, excuse me if it's messed up...
First, I'm successfully playing 6max NL50, but wanted to learn to play HU decently, and the minimum buy-in was always too high for me. I just didn't knew that HUSnG offers like the same experience for such a low price, and I don't like some things in these games so until yesterday haven't even thought about trying them out.
Thanks to Nostalgica exclusively, I did it yesterday and today, crushed micro-SnGs, and already feel my grasp of HU improved quite a lot.
My questions are:
Q1. In HUSnG, I like that struggle at the beginning where skill does matter a lot,
but all ends up in robotic push-folds which I see is a big coinflipping overall. I understand it is inevitable consequence of game flow, yes it is the best way to play, and that kinda makes SnGs less attractive for me.
Am I missing smth here, or is it truly the drawback of SnGs that doesn't exist in HU cash games? Q2. What are the drawbacks of HU cash in comparison? I see it is higher rake and that's it? Suppose you play with the guy same skill level as yourself, so in HUSnG it's like a flip who wins in long run with a tiny rake, but in HU cash it's the same flip but both are raked hard. Please comment on this
Q3. Player pool/skill level. I'm primary interested in HU Cash NL50/NL100, what could be the same "difficulty" level at HUSnGs? Is it easier or harder to find weak players at SnGs?
Q4. ATM, I'm really enjoying microSnGs for two reaons: cheaply grasping HU dynamics, and they are fun no kidding
My question is can I see it this way: learning at HUSnG with the aim of totally transitioning to HU Cash later as it is "better"? I know at least Chinz and Nostalgica should have their own opinions why do they prefer one or another, would be pleased if you guys say something about it here
Wanted to ask smth more, but forgotten what exactly, maybe later
Thanks for your feedback!
