   • Do you need to hone your heads up skills? I do too, and my feeling is that if I am going to be donating my stack in practicing, I might as well donate to friends.

     Does anyone play on PS? If so, would you be interested in playing HU against me? Microstakes, please. I'm thinking .05/.10 or $2-$5 HU SNG.

     Also, if others want to get together to play each other HU online on PS, whatever stakes you want, please post here!

     If there is already a thread like this, I couldn't find one, so let's try this new one!~

   • I think I have a few bucks on PS after Tony loaned me money for the World Record Attempt tournament. I'd be down to play a bit.

     I would love to stage a multi-player HU SNG with PokerSoupers. I'm super busy, though, so I can't set it up right now. We'd need to get enough people to agree, too, as the Official PokerSoup Online League attendance seems to be flagging on Full Tilt.

     Holy crap, I just checked and I actually made $60 on that one ;) Thanks again, T! I still owe ya one.

   • PokerStars does not have HU cash game at the .5/.10 level.
     It starts at .25/.50 which is a max buyin of 50.

     I'm always up for cash HU at anytime.

   • I know its for practice but I recommend playing the sit gos cause the rake at the lower limit hu is a little steep compared to the size of the blinds

    • ill tell you what if there is enough interest in a live HU id even deal because if we could do something similar to the NBC thing it would be fun but i would prefer a double elimination tourney we could have three tables with 6 players going at a time or if there are any small tables around the table top variety we could probablly get more going but im not sure how many people would want to deal

    • maybe 25-40 dolalr buy in with only top 2 players cashing

      You can sit in @ empty table @ whatever stakes u want to create your own HU match... The downside is you have to be willing to play a session if the table fills in.

    • technically yea.

      Yea, HU rakes are a B. Start with 100 each at a HU table, after 15-20 mins of play there's only 180 dollars left on the table as oppose to 200. if noone rebuys that is.

      cash HU players on PS are so bad at least at the lower levels.
