I'm thinkin about seriously grinding and studying cash cuz im sick of mtts and sngs...

question... If you are equally skilled in HU and 6 max, which is more profitable to play?

Let's say I win about 8BB/100 (is that reasonable) HU Cash NL200 and I 2-3 table.
An 6 max let's say I would win 2.5BB/100 for NL200 and I 12 table.

Where could I win more money?

Thanks

I would take a hour or two in each, and first see wich one you prefer.
then look at your hands/hr
and then take hands * bb/100 = $$$

I wasn't sure how to calculate it correctly. So HU Cash is more profitable....

Do this. It's going to depend on which one you are better at. I don't think either one would just be innately more profitable than the other.

In my experience HU is very bad. I could just be the unluckiest player ever though. It's gonna boil down to personal preference and playstyle though.

At these stakes you really don't have to wait too long for action especially if you play multiple sites. Also, at these stakes regs will actually play you, so he can plays regs while he waits.

Agree, NL50 HU you shouldn't have too much trouble finding action. If you're decent after a while the regs will steer clear but it's still pretty lively and very soft.

Getting an opponent to stay for a decent length session, or not hit-running, getting scared when the game gets deep etc. is a whole different story and pretty tilt inducing.

All that with out taking in account what you enjoy more,tilting,variance and the ease to find games ect...
