Determination of the parameter regime in which two holes in the t-J model form a bound state represents a long standing open problem in the field of strongly correlated systems. By applying and systematically improving the exact diagonalization method defined over a limited functional space (EDLFS), we show that the average distance between two holes scales as $langle d rangle sim 2 (J/t)^{-1/4}$ for J/t < 0.15, therefore providing strong evidence that two holes in the t-J model form the bound state for any nonzero J/t. However, the symmetry of such bound pair in the ground state is p-wave. This state is consistent with phase separation at finite hole filling, as observed in a recent study [Maska et al, Phys. Rev. B 85, 245113 (2012)].
