I have mainly played heads up SnG's but am considering trying out HU cashgames.

Two questions:

1. What is a decent winrate for a HU CG (in bb/100)?

2. Will not the rake be vastly higher in hu cashgames vs hu SnG's? In a SnG, one pays 5% rake per game (each game consists on average of 40 hands). In a cashgame, one pays 5% per pot. That would mean that even if you bust your opponent of a buy in, most of that could very well be lost due to rake. I know people who claim that it is almost impossible to win at lowlimit HU cashgames due to the rake. Any truth to this?
