Nath, so these tables are actual cash games? I've played tons of heads-up sng's but never heads-up cash games with fixed blinds. This is interesting. What are the max/min buy-ins for the 3 limits you mention. How has the level of play been? Do you have to wait long for tables? I haven't played PS in a while but this might make it worth my while.

Yeah. They just put them in on Thursday-- minimium buyin is 20BB, max is 100BB, and they have them available up to 5/10. The 5/10 games can be tough to get a table at because so many regulars who play higher and want to play heads-up sit in, but I've never had a problem finding an open table at 2/4 or 3/6 (Stars has capped each level at 10 tables).

As I think is the case with most heads-up cash games, the regulars are pretty good, but a lot of people sit in who don't really know what they're doing, or buy in short with no plan, and they make the games profitable.

I've been playing 2/4 and 3/6 no-limit heads up on them. I put in a profitable session of 1300 hands (including a brief trip to 5/10 where I got stacked rather quickly.) I've been meaning to play more heads-up no limit, and Stars' adding tables was both a good impetus and an encouraging sign. I'll be doing more of that-- it combines what I like about shorthanded limit hold 'em with what I like about no-limit that brings me to the game in the first place. Obviously this is a small sample, but I was already inclined to head in this direction. I'll keep reporting on how they go.

One more note: I did a small feature for Cardplayer-- the "Online Hand-to-Hand Combat" section in the "Inside Straight", if you're familiar with the magazine. It's apparently out in print now-- I haven't seen it but was told it appeared in this month's issue. it's not online yet, but I'll be sure to post the link when it is.
