Decent set-up for a Heads Up match..

#1 19th December 2011, 2:20 PM

Playing against a mate with half an hour blinds.. starting stacks at 20k.
For a decent game and not having to play shove poker after like an hour should I start at 50 - 100 blinds or what?
Just wondering what the normal set up for a heads up match is blind wise etc..

According to my Pokerstars clock app on my iPhone (its free, get it if you have an iPhone) these settings:

2 players - 50/100 starting blinds - 10,000 starting chip stack - 30 min blinds

means the tourney lasts 5 hours! and that is with only 10K starting chips. You might need to reduce the blinds to 15 or 20 mins.

Alright safe micro! 5 hours of play? How tight do you have to be for that?

Stats for heads up?

We were playing live and the game lasted about 2 hours.. (all in bluff snap called by bottom pair :/)
