Tips for Heads Up SnG?

#1 18th February 2010, 1:03 PM

Hey guys,

I'm currently playing the $5 HU SnG table on PokerStars and have been doing decent so far. I'm just looking for some tips, pointers on winning at low limit HU. Obviously everything is very situational but general guidelines for ABC HU poker would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Be aggressive, dont do stupid bluffs and take notes off guy who are against you.

Play agressive, raise a lot in position, fold when obv beaten, concentrate, and after 5 min your opponent will usally start tilting and throw away the chips.
The most important thing in hu though is probably your selection of opponent. Find that big fish, and try to get him to stay for as long as possible at your table.

what i've noticed at these low buy in heads up, is that people get frustrated fast, they want to finish you as soon as posible, so as only_bridge sayd, they get frustrated whithin 5 mins, so have patience if you have an oponent thats really loose, if he is tight you have to bet like at least 80% of the pots, and dont forget the c bets.

also very important, the fish usually, at this level, likes to bet very small when bluffing, like 80 in a 400 pot, and on turn he bets 80 again, usualy a sign of a fish, and when he has a monster, he bets pot or even over bets the pot. i played 6 today on fulltilt, won 5 lol. but the rake is killing me.
