I play on the Merge Network. They have nice 5/10 minute levels (regular/turbo) that usually allow for enough time for skill to prevail before the blinds turn it into a luck game. They also only rake HU SNGs at half the normal rate, which is a big plus. For example, a $10 SNG rakes 50¢/side rather than the usual $1/side.
Incidentally, IMO calling only with top pair & up+draws is an easily exploitable strategy HU.
