Heads-up on Pokerstars

    Just started playing Pokerstars again there yesterday. My account had been empty and since a hve no credit card yet I had to get a mate to transfer $50 across.

    Anyway I decided to try my luck at the heads up games. Somehow I've managed to win 18/18 and I didn't even think I was any good at heads-up, as I have little experience. I've been ripping up the $10 heads-up games, the standard seems to be terrible! Anyone else notice this :D

    I made about $150 yesterday, and I've won 3/3 so far today. Could actually make a bit of money out of this.....

    The heads up on Pokerstars is sooo different to the crapshoot on PPP. Theres longer blinds, as well as the option for a 4 player heads-up tournament.

    21 out of 21!!!!! That's just...well, I'm incredulous. Amazing run, well done. But yes $10 head up on Stars you haven't got a chance in hell of coming across a poker player, you might as well move up to $20 cause it's the exact same.

    That's really really impressive. You should definitely move up a few levels, you could make a fortune. If you assumed that you were of the same ability as your opponents (which you're obviously not) the odds of winning 21 s n g's in a row is 2.09 million to one! Keep it up and you'll make a fortune.

    Havn't played heads up in ages until i read this post.usually went there just to keep my headsup game in shape.6 from 6 in the $50 so far.the standard seems to have dropped big time since i last played( PS).Only had 1 real though opponent where i got lucky to hit at the right time.
