It took you 3 years to do 122 headsup tournaments? Even if you played only the fishiest of the fish with super-ultra-extreme opponent selection (which one tournament every 9 days would qualify as), you STILL couldn't possibly get this win rate unless you're talking NBI tourneys then all bets are off.

I honestly never even knew this was good until this week. I play normal tourneys. Read my earlier post. I have been cash game player for 10 years. I would play some HU tourneys as a break. Played those $20 over 3 years. Knew I was winning, but didn’t know my rate was considered good or anything. I didn’t even really track them in PT compared to the way I track cash games.
Last month I played $50 for a day, first time I play HU in months, if not a year. I went 8 - 2. Decided to keep playing. Played 100, ran at 30% ROI 68-32, and $65 hour. My cash game hourly is only $35, so I think, hey maybe I onto something here. Let me do some research. Today, I get sharkscope subscription, I check out this forum and realize, I am doing pretty good. Clearly, not sustainable, clearly small sample size, but even so, pretty good.
Based on comments on this forum, I am as intrigued as you. Can I be really good at these? Can I be on that sick of a run? Could I have been grinding cash for 10 years and missed my calling? All I can do is stay in touch, run it up to 500 and see where I am.
