Just wondering why it seems that most people like heads up sit n' goes better than cash games? I recently transitioned from playing full ring cash games to heads up cash games and every time I try to find new info about HU on youtube or websites most stuff I come across is all on HU SnG's. So whats so much better about SnG's than cash games?

Maybe it's because you only get raked once instead of every hand.

I like the sit & goes better because I like heads up but it isn't my strongest game so with the the sit & go I get to limit the buy in very specifically. I can play a $1 or $2 SnG and not feel like I have to rebuy if I bust on an ugly hand.

Well after Zorba informed me that the reason everyone prefers HU SnG's is due to the rake I decided I would try them. I just won the first HU SnG I've ever played and I can understand why now! The difference in rake given vs money won is a big change and more than likely HU SnG's will be my main choice of game!

Be prepared for high variance. I am like a yo-yo always going up and down when I play them, which is quite often.

I prefer HU Cash and it's not even close.

I started at 6max, then moved to FR, then found HU.

Ultimately moved to live and found out FR live games were way easier, less thinking involved and plenty of money flying around looking for a new home. And with the sites closed to US players I'm on Merge which doesn't even have HU tables anymore apparently. I'll start my own FR tables and wait for someone to sit and get some HU that way, but online mostly sticking to FR now.

Much more action in HU, specially hyper turbo. Lot of players wana make money fast with super agression, guys who really love to gamble and love adrenaline.

the hu sng are as attractive as they are fast and can quickly gain more buy-in. They also combine the blinds like in tournaments and as both side duel

Yeah I can already tell variance is a bitch in these games...the thing I hate the most though is that it seems like almost no one rematch's in these games. I'll rematch rather I win or lose but I have found that nobody else has this attitude in these husng's.
