I'm an ok 50nl 6max player with decent poker fundamentals looking to start playing HU more seriously. I have played some HU in the past and been moderately successful and think it could be much more profitable than 6 max.
Basic questions are:
what sites are best?
should I just bum hunt fish all day or try and get lots of volume in playing regs? (discussion probably needed)
should I just play one person at a time?
and any extra tips and advice you awesome guys would like to share

start playing lower than 50nl
85% bumhunting - 15% recorded sessions playing regs, which you can later review.
pleanty of action at 50nl and below everywhere....probs want a decent rb deal...so wud steer clear of stars.
start playing one opponent at a time...untill your default game is kinda automatic...then maybe play a couple diff ones at once when you feel comfortable.

Just make sure you play regs occasionally and record those sessions with something like camstudio/camtasia/your favourite screen capture software. Analyze those sessions hard, review with friends, review with software, review some more. This is your main chance to really learn the game well at a high level.

can I bum hunt 25nl HU with 600$?
Depends on how good you are at HU and how high the rake is. I imagine for most people the answer is no and that you would be better off playing 6max. It also depends how much you need that money.
There will always be a good captain hindsight joke after you try tho

Most sites don't have HU lower than 50nl and the ones that do like ipokerhas huge rake .
Other than that thanks for the advice 
Hi guys.
There are some €10NL and €20 HU games on the Entraction network (Noiq, Purple Lounge etc.) I don't know exactly what the rake is but they do offer a 30% RB deal which would soften the blow somewhat.
