I think deep down you know the answer. That said, how did the first few sessions go?

$5+tip rake per hand is gonna be hard to beat unless the player is atrocious.

you play around 30 hands a down so that's $150+ every 30 minutes.

If you wanna play heads up you gotta do time rake and pre tip the dealer $25-$30

Just think about this for a second. Sharks wanting to play you HU is not a sign of how much they respect your game; it is a sign of how much they expect to profit....

Exactly. If the dude is actually playing 500nl online and profitably he will absolutely destroy you HU. Why you would even make this thread is beyond me, money in poker comes from fish, not from dick measuring contests vs regs....

idk man ive told you this in the past but i think they and you are subsequently over rating their skill level. obviously you are drawing stone dead to beat anyone that is a hs reg headsup at a game format you haven't played before over any kind of sample. i just find it difficult to believe actual 25/50 regs or hs mtt guys are so bored that they are not only willing but actively challenging people to play 45 hand an hour 1/3 nl.

am sure they are decent for whatever game you play but i would imagine that you could catch up to their skill level relatively quickly if you were willing to put the work in (you don't seem to be).

i get this doesn't answer your question necessarily but it also does. spend 2-4 weeks looking at hu ranges pre / post / deep and play low stakes online and i would imagine you'd be a small favorite vs these guys....
