In your opinion, HU is a great way to start building the account?

I don't recommand it since HU is very technical.

Heads up games are slowly fading from online if you plan on building an bankroll get on it now. Heads up limit is dead and No limit is on its way out.

It is probably the worst way to try to build a bankroll. You will run into too many advanced players who are skilled at hu and will decimate you.

I agree with Dakota-xx. At HU also increase the variance and the coin flip at the ROI.

No, I think you want something to boost your bankroll and not just returns you something less than 2x your buy in. And how many tables can you play simultaneously?! , the action is cascading.You must play attention. In classic MTTs , SNG tournaments you can play easily up to 4.Many folds and some standards open raises , 3bet spots.

HU understanding is critical for a MTT player , imagine how much profit you will lose if you always finish in second place, the pay jump is huge between those two spots.

So yes play HU to improve your game but not for a bankroll building!

For me personally, hu the format is very boring, after playing 5-10 hu lost concentration. Although I show good results for 3.5 and 7 in the my game.

In my personal opinion, (based on research, lol), there are sharks that are posted up in HU games, waiting for victims. Maybe not always, but good luck!

If you are starting out no, HU players tend to bum hunt and not play other regs, and if you are just starting out- you are the bum.

I always thought it was good practice for practicing being at a final table.

For bankroll building, I would not go there first.
