    I'm just curious what sort of average win/loss ratio a typical pro would expect from Heads up freezouts. 3/2? 2/1? better than that? Obviously it would depend heavily on the buy in you play at.

    For those of you who play multiple games, do you believe you can obtain a better ratio in some games as opposed to others despite a skill difference? I consider myself a better heads up PLO player then NLH player, but my NLH results have been slightly better.

    I'm running a test over the next week or so to see how many matches I need to play to get 100 more wins than losses. I'm at 15 wins and 7 losses in $20+1 NLH right now, but I think I'm running a bit hot.

    Also, feel free to drop your name here if you're a reg in the $10-$30 range @ full tilt and I'll make a note to avoid sitting against you. My handle is WOLFKRY.

    Assuming its %5 rake, 3/2 would constatute a %14 ROI, which seems pretty good, especially at higher limits. 5/3 would be %19, and 2/1 would be a whopping %31.

    Maybe I'll do some sharkscope detective work...

    I used to grind the $50-100 HU matches on stars.
    Sharkscope wasn't illegal to use back then and I would see who sat and would sharkscope each player and only play against people with losing records. And I like to think I'm a decent HU player, and I still only maintained a 3/2 or so record long term. Maybe more like 3.5/2. I made money but you had to put in a lot of volume.
