Jumping

As you play deuce, the size of your stack jumps up and down. Of course, that's true in all poker variants, to a greater or lesser extent. I think the volatility of the jumping is much greater in deuce than in Hold'em, though. The reason is that deuce forces you to make many more "hopeful bets" than Hold'em does. You almost never know the real strength of your hand in deuce until after the third draw, whereas you can have a very good idea of the strength of your hand in Hold'em right when you see the flop. You have to undergo three betting rounds to know the strength of your hand in deuce, whereas you only have to undergo one betting round to acquire the same amount of information in Hold'em.

Once you get accustomed to the jumping around, you stop worrying about it. What you're doing is playing a timing game; you're waiting for the right moments to go all in. You're always trying to hear the rhythm of the cards, and step to that beat! You also need to be able to hear it when the cards tell you "Enough! Take your winnings and go home."
