Headsup I admit I'm not as strong of a player as I usually am. I would describe myself as a tight player regularly, so adjusting to headsup play is kind of annoying. Hand values increase so greatly that it's hard to keep track.
A good friend of mine is absolutely obsessed with headsup sag's, playing in $100 buyin ones. His secret to success is to be an absolute pain. Raise and bet everything. After the flop he is pretty disciplined, so he doesn't just push with q high. However, after watching him a few times I saw that he can trap his opponent perfectly. He makes one of his regular raises and gets a reraise out of the other guy. He plays the hand like he always does and ends up getting all of the other guy's money in the pot. He has the bankroll to carry through rough spots (It is headsup, draws look good and hit often).
I have no faith in headsup play in which both players go in expecting headsup. MTT are different, headsup at the point is fine for me because I'm coming in at least second.  |
