im currently playing on bet 365 heads up.
ive only played 817 hands so this winrate is a load of crap i know that.. with that said i am winning at 27bb/100
so ive won $23 BUT the rake so far is at $36. this is incredibly high. there is no way in hell i can beat rake over a large sample. if some how manage to get good enough at heads up to be something like a 2bb/100 winner i would absolutely be losing to rake will i not?
any thoughts on this or is this a normal rake amount? for nl10 heads up?
i thought i would learn the game at this level and build a bankroll.

Stop playing and quit while you are ahead of this horrendous rake trap. You will lose all your bankroll to the rake if you play long enough. That's guaranteed to happen.

If you love the HU format play HU SNG. The best HU SNGs to play are at Pokerstars, the 4-man shootouts to be precise. Effective rake is reduced due to the games being four-handed.

Thanks.
The rake is very high then?
What is the rake on something in the $50 buy in level?
Because this is higher than 27bb/100 which is surely un-winnable.
