 How to play heads-up when you don't hit anything
The blinds were really high and i had about 20x BB and the other guy had about 40xx BB. He was a LAG and bet everytime post-flop.
I tried to give up small pots so that I can trap him when I do hit. But unfortunately, I didn't hit anything on flop for about 10 hands and had to keep folding. In the end, I was down to my 10x BB and went all in with A3 off suit, he called me with something like Q8 and hit a Queen on the flop.
Should I have done something differently or was I just unlucky that I didn't hit anything? Maybe I should have gone all-in preflop everytime with hands like KT or J9 so I wouldn't get bluffed.
What do you think?
I think the major problem with tight players like me is getting frustrated when this happens, making a stand with substandard hand and getting busted when the LAG Actually does have a hand. But with the blinds going up like that, I might change my strategy to going all-in preflop next time. |
