Are Heads-Up cash games profitable?

Last few weeks I would say Yes definately but since then that ugly name of Variance has seemed to sneak in and even things up.

My question is with being in a blind every hand plus the Rake that really seems to get you in HU, do you think it's profitable in the long run or are 6 and 9 person tables smarter to play.

Also let me know if we have any really successful HU cash players.

Thanks

No money in Heads-Up, everyone's solid.

If you are better than your opponent yes. If your opponent is better rgan you or you have about equal skill no.

I think the rake would be too much to over come unless you are playing a complete fish.

Yea as said above, the rake makes it pretty pointless unless your playing nosebleeds which I think have capped rake.
Heads up SnG's are better than cash games, for lower stakes, still need to maintain a strong ROI but they are profitable.

I kinda disagree that you need to be playing nosebleeds, but yeah playing micro stakes hu is just not gonna be profitable
