I play at a site that doesn't cap the heads up betting. Two nights in a row now I think I've seen the worst play I've ever seen. But let me set you up with one with a slightly smarter moron.
I'm holding j8 and catch a river card to make the nuts j high str8. On the river I get in a raising war just past the usual cap, when my opponent chats "same hand... lets save some rake". I'm thinking NOOO and he calls, flipping over the bottom end of a 10 high straight.
So, two nights ago, I'm watching as the 4th spade hits on the river. A raising war commences, and I'm thinking one has an A the other must have a K. No other big hands possible. Anyway, they reraise about $13 each until one is all-in (this was a .35/.70 FL 6handed table). The victor does flip over the Ace of spades. The moron flips over the 6 of spades. WTF? I thought that was pretty terrible until it was surpassed last night.
Same level table, flop is TQx, 2 diamonds. There's 2 guys in the pot. Turn is a blank, river is another diamond. A raising war starts again. This time they reraise each other about $10 until one of them is all in. I'm thinking again, flush over flush. Well, the victor does flip over a the suited Ax of diamonds. The super moron turns over TQo. WTF??
I'm just mad I only ran into a mini-moron, I really want to get heads up with their supreme leader....

What's your user name, I'm JimDibb.
I have the same problem with the plo. I find the $10+1/6max SNGs have also been a small gold mine for me.
Then with the rakeback and the other bonuses, I've recovered just about all of my cumulative online losses for the past ~7 months in less than 5 weeks. This is the first site in that time that I've EVER taken money out of.

as far as i know, all the crypto network sites allow unlimited heads-up betting, but only at the river was my impression

i think betting is unlimited when only 2 people start the betting round
since i came to 6 bets on turn once
