Maybe if you have a lot of hands and so are confident they're deviating in some hand, otherwise you risk getting exploited yourself.

The players who study GTO instead of trying to win these meta mind games have proven to do very well in online heads up while the old-school mind games guys keep going boom and bust.

Online high stakes heads up cash games is by far the most competitive field in all of poker, for several reasons (global competition, more hands per hour, very few fish, etc).

An online $100/$50 heads up match is probably equivalent to a $10k/$5k live game, in terms of the quality of pros you'll find grinding them.

What do you think represents the highest level of poker instead?
