After my losses I moved down and played the $11. And was really surprised how the competition is much easier ! There is truly a big difference between the $23 and the $11. When I play the $11 now I just limp all my hands and bet hard my best, I can play without thinking and then 2 or 3 tabling. Therefore, playing the $11 is far much financially interesting but unfortunately so boring... I still don't know why I always run so bad when I try to play the 23$. The opponents do not make big mistakes anymore, they play poker, and I feel my edge is dramatically reduced, if ever I have one. I think I still have one, but so thin that there is a lot of variance, and a lot of losing streaks that I can't bear. I hear everywhere that in the low stakes HUSNGs, you have to play ABC and will win, and what people call low stakes are up to the $55. But poker is a game which is changing. Nowadays, people don't play poker like it was played 10 years ago. There even are some differencies one year to the other. Needless to say, people progress. And the top HU players who just advice to play ABC in the $23 are wrong in my opinion. Likely it was the case when thay played poker at the $23 themselves, but since that old time, the competition became harder. Therefore, I wonder if HUSNGs are still profitable. I checked my hand histories and don't know how how I could play better. I mean, I could play differently, but this is a matter of styles. I do not make big mistakes, and what I could change in my game is only details. It is micro poker (to see what are micro and macro poker, see the Ed Miller Blog). However, there are still some good HU players that win some money playing the HUSNGs. The foremost play the >=$100. I have heard that most of their profit come from recreational, fortunate players who take shots at the high stakes heads up. So the competition might be softer as those stakes as far as you avoid the regulars. $23 is peupled by hu players that struggle, wanna moving up and work hard; Fishs and donkeys don't play that high because they would be broke too quickly, and fortunate, recreational players are playing higher.
The importance of game selection
What I have said above emphasises the importance of game selection. Unfortunately, you have not any time to check the guy on sharkscope that there already is someone to play against. So this solution is not available. Then what ?
Hopefully I'm wrong
I may overvalue my game, and perhaps I'm not as good as I think. If this is the case, I have to improve or stop playing. Assuming that I still have to progress (Sure I have), I still have the incapacity to recognize my mistakes or suboptimals decisions I made. And This is really frustating because it shows my limits. Therefore, perhaps the best solution may be stop playing poker. Anyway, when the holidays will end up, I'll reduce my volume play a lot.
