Was just playing some guy in 2-4 heads up, I busted him but still ended up losing money (lost 6 cents lol). I looked at the difference between cake and full tilt heads up rake. They are both 5% with $.50 max rake. The difference is cake rake is $.05 per $1 in the pot, and ftp is $.50 once the pot reaches $10. So on ftp there is no rake unless the pot reaches $10. On cake no matter what if there is a flop they are taking out money from the pot. Obviously this makes ftp a much better place to play low limit heads up. Is it even possible to beat cake's 2-4 heads up tables with this type of rake structure? I am thinking that no matter how bad my opponent is, I am still an underdog to the rake.

You're better off playing sngs of limit based on the rake. If you are playing 2/4 then probably what like 50 or 100 dollar sngs would be better.

2-4 LHE. I dont think i should play $50 or $100 sngs, but i've been 6 tabling the $13 and $18 turbos like a mad man. Started with $200 and have my account up to $2000 in about 3 weeks of doing this (started off at $6 sngs). These are good games with good money to be made, but after playing so many sngs I am just sick of them.

Im SetOfKs on there too, whats your name? Do you play 2-4 heads up at all? Do you actually beat it? I am doubtful that it is even possible on that site.
