Running 70c/hand at $1/2 might be a little hot, but whatever. You're due. Enjoy it, man!

It's probably a little of both - skill and a good lucky streak! Keep it up.

Dude, Looks like you've got the best of both worlds going. Being Streaky and having the touch of good fortune means you're twice blessed. Ride it all the way!!!

That is a great way to make a buck., like taking candy from babes. How does one get to your skill level? I would love to tap into your "poker" brain.

Great results! It's probably a combo of both - Luck and Skill - weighted a little more towards the skill no doubt. Keep it up.

 capped off my first full week of heads up
 By nath on 10/14/2007 read nath's complete blog  
Played close to 7,000 hands at $1/$2 and made ~$5100. Ran about 18 PTBB/100. I have no idea if that's an indication of running really hot, or just the massive skill difference between me and my competition. (After all, this is a much smaller game than I'm accustomed to, and I'm pretty tight about my game selection.)

I did plug the stats into PokerEV and it turns out I actually ran badly in all-in situations, to the tune of $900 below expectation or so. Obviously this doesn't affect me in heads-up as much because I'm winning so many pots without showdown, but it was neat to see the graph and see a 5,000 hand breakeven stretch in "Sklansky Bucks" where I actually LOST $1500 at showdown, but still made $1500 overall.

So I feel really positive about these results. Gonna keep plugging away and move up after I've logged some more significant time. I have no real idea what expected volume or winrates are for HU players, but if this is sustainable you'll see me at it for a good while.
