HU - starting

A month ago i decided to become a more complex player and learn HU format.
There was not much time to spend on the studying so probably that's the reason why just now i can say "lets get started" and gain some serious experience from the tables.
I learned basic and advanced theory and now i need the practice to find out population tendencies and learn to react accordingly.

During that month i played a little of course just to find out what i need to know, to study more. Also i tried both speeds - turbo and super turbo.
Need to say that more enjoyable is turbo with 1500 stack, also your edge is logically higher but the future is faster agressive format named Hyper turbo with starting stack 500 chips.
The sample size is not so big, but i had pretty interesting edge there especially postflop.

Another thing is that i have realized i am not so strong as i thought in psychical endurance. Yes, in tilting, lol. Hard to admit that. The reason of that seems to be simple and obvious.
I made up the system of play which is tilting free but it requires some poker experience to use it at a table so definitely wouldn't recomment it to a novice. In my (still not released) video can be seen.
I have been using this all the time on satellites and now on HU's it is impossbile to continue with for obvious reasons.
Means i need to be more humble, modest and focus on the right play instead of looking at cashier and short-term results, all of it again like 4 years ago.

However my starting point is buy-in 15usd. Expecting playing over 1-2k games and will see what happens next.
