Play heads up is another good way to learn ^^ but i can understand that you wan't go into the arena directly if your bankroll is relativly low. Heads up is really hard, but when you play much, you really improve your game in his globality (for other sng's, mtt's,...).

i usually raise Q7 and better, in HU you will win most pots with high pairs and such (2 pairs, sets, ..). Suits become less important to me becouse your a lil les likely to make the flush than in formats with more players and when you make one they rarely pay much. And observing you opponents play is probably the most important part of HU!

The trick is to play tight-aggressive and only fold REALLY sucky hands. Since there is only one opponent, you have alot of outs and most of the cards are still in the deck = bigger chance to hit the nuts etc.

Cheers x
HU is a different ball game all together I play HU as if im a maniac.... I will call any small raise and will regulrly raise very loose hands ... All pocket paire get raisede all drawing hands get raised and any thing that adds up to 18+ ie Q 10 or as low as 89 infact ill raise all runners down to 23. I like to play every hand and get a read on what card my oponante plays see when he will raise and see when he will call etc.....
I get a little bit infront and then start to bet 2-3 BB each raise. I have been very good lately in giving hands up if it looks a bit dodgy.....lol so HU is ok but i couldn't do it all the time.
there are some sites available for you for HU sng strategiesand video's. the problem is I don't think I can post a link here since they also offer deposit bonusses and stuff. I would advise you to just google it, and you'll find what you need . just type "HU session review" or "HU sng coaching video" and I think you'll find some vids.

You have a book named "Heads-Up No-Limit Hold 'em", by Collin Moshman. I believe it is a good book because you can find many reviews in different languages through the net. After reading your post my apetite for money through heads up earn some gain and i will probably read this book first!
