**** me off the likes of Benc and duonross hogging the heads up tables so you've got to play them they never play each other but we got to play them because no tables are left ... Come on sky sort this out I know you won't because the rake off them must be astronomical compared with the average player..Also the slow play by multitable players is nightmare and takes all the enjoyment out of the game

You've the choice of @FeelGroggy or @alancarr12 at the minute
GOOD LUCK with that
Looks like you'll have to learn to beat them ......There are a couple of other players waiting too tbf
Bulls up is an okish/weak reg in these games.
I think bulls up does not understand the ecology of the heads up sng lobbies.
On every single site regs protect their lobbies, its their income its nothing personal.
Generally from my dealings with the heads up hyper regs they all seem like decent people, but they wont take it easy on anyone in poker because that is their income.
Asking them to take it easy on you or anyone else in the lobby is really no different then asking them to fold big hands because you dont want to bust a tournament.
If your not happy with this then its sky who you need to address not these guys, as they are only exploiting the situation to their best benefit as I would expect any poker player to do.
heads up hypers involve a lot of reg wars I have fought several and won every single one at low stakes. However if you actually look at the money you can make at low stakes its marginal a few pounds an hour based on game volume and win rates etc.
This is fine if you combine it with other stuff but not really a viable income by itself. Benc and Duonross likely have an edge vs me, at £10 games their profit vs me likely would not be worth their time and they would be lobby defending at higher stakes it would just be about profit. Vs you at £10 games sorry it would be about pure profit.
You cant complaint that better players will take your money either get better or find another game.
for me I realised that with constant reg wars heads up hypers would be a long mountain to climb.
What I discovered/learned though is that spin and goes are very similar games assuming your exactly standard ability 66% of spin and goes end up as heads up hypers. You dont get reg wars you just have a player pool.
So bulls up if you want to find heads up hyper games you can beat I suggest micro stakes/small stakes spin and goes.
I would suggest you stay away from party because the standard in their spin and goes is the toughest I am aware of. Its good for their bonuses and rakeback but I dont think you would have an edge there, I think the other players on the whole would outplay you. Sorry just been honest.
However I believe (though I wont be held responsible if I am wrong) that you would likely have an edge and be profitable at micro stake spin and goes on stars, those games are pretty soft.
Seriously though I understand poker can be frustrating its absolutely easy to make a small amount of money from gambling/poker.
Even if you had no clue taking advantage of free rolls free bets etc could do it anyway. and or just beat the micros. However it gets very hard to make a decent amount of money from gambling/Poker.
You need to first determine is this a hobby or a side income/hustle. Or what you want to become something you can make a living from.
If the former stop stressing and just chill and take the bits you can or lose what you can afford to lose.
If the latter then you need the discipline to build up slowly making small amounts at first with the end goal of making more when you got a bigger pool to play with.
I have on multiple occasions turned a bankroll of £200 or less into several thousand it is doable but every time I have done this I have started of on micros making very small amounts at first and worked my way up.
