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?

1. 5 or 6ptBB/100 is not very hard at lower stakes if you game select hard core.
2. Pretty much yeah, the rake at 100nl or less HU cash is brutal. However, the play is so bad and the games are so easy that its beatable. I wouldn't start HU until i was playing 200nl 6 max or higher though.
