I can relate to the second reason. About a year ago I played many HU SnG's and won a lot of them. If I remember correctly I won 10 or 11 in a row. But the games I enjoyed were the 1-table SnG's but it was impossible for me to finish in the money at that time. HU was boring and timeconsuming (you have to keep focusing on the table) and really messed with my 1-table SnG play. I stopped playing Heads Up games. I'm not that good that I can play Omaha, Stud and HE at the same time. And I'm not that good that I can play different styles of poker, I can't even play turbo's next to normal SnG's. I'm not saying that you can't either but it could be true that HU play messed with your SnG and MTT play. I would suggest if you know how to play HU and winning them on a regular basis, stop playing them and get back to SnG's. The important things of HU will stick and you will be more dangerous when you are Heads Up in a SnG or a MTT.

Thanks Kaartkeizer, Very good advice.

I think you have given me some points to think about there. I understand what you're saying and I'll take it all on board.

I must admit, I'm a bit ill disciplined sometimes. If I'm too disciplined, I get bored with myself and if I'm not disciplined enough - I'll lose!

Your post is much appreciated
