Heads Up Tips

#1 9th July 2011, 10:12 PM

Now I just played a heads up in a 10 man tourney and got sucked out (oh well lol) but I just needed a little bit of help when playing heads up. Every time I play, I usually play very unpredictable, call with great hands, raise with crap, just depends on how I look at the other player. So the last heads up he decided to go all-in every hand. Now it got annoying a little bit, so once I got the SB, I raised all-in and he folded. Just a quick question, if a person continues to go all-in every hand heads up, what exactly should I do?

I will call some one down with K high and sometimes Q high if there pushing to much. You will usaully be down to 10-12 big blind if your evenlly stacked so most of the time I will play push of fold strategy.

^ this.

I printed out a copy a stuck it to the wall next to my computer. If you plan on playing a lot of HU you should learn how to use it and do the same.

Note that you can adjust the ranges a bit to exploit opponents who play too loose or too tight but there's no need to go overboard.

Try to adjust the range of your opponent, as soon as posible. By the time you get him in range it will be easier to call with your hands. Such as kx.

If he pushes everytime try getting some Ax or Kx and shove.
In addition try pushing from SB with those hands.

I think I get the wider scope of things. That chart will help me a bunch thanks a lot for that, it does get annoying though when your going all in every hand.

Finish the game, (try to get an advantage playing only premiumish hands allin),
Put a note on the player and avoid playing with them again.

Find another player that actually wants to play a HU game.

Short handed 10man tourneys you can see if you wish to play with the players before the game starts, and unreg if necessary.

Heads up poker is about adjusting to the player tendencies.

That's what I used to say but I don't really know, I try to adjust but the players just do very stupid things and get really lucky. I don't like having luck as a factor, I like winning with no risk involved.

I dont think this exists anywhere in anything except where you cheat. You will always have risk. You will also possibly lose a poker hand when you have the best hand and your opponent draws the one single card left in the deck that can beat you. And if this happens, and you got him to put his whole stack in prior to drawing,, and as a result you lose yours, you better pat yourself on the back for having played well.............

DUCY??
