Best HU ever!

Just played in the best headup ever!
It was a 70FPP 10ppl satelitte to the sunday 200k (can't play in the sunday million as it will leave a big dent in my bankroll)

So i have 12k n villan has 2.5k. He's tight.

Im playin great making small 2.5/2BB raises to win pots, but he's folding alot of the time n after a while I notice he's makin a few all-in's on the trott, gettin impatient.
He shoves from the SB, I have A3o in the BB so i decide to call, he shows 105 (knew he was weak)
but catches a 10 on the flop. BAH.

Few hands later losing chips I shove with AJ n he calls with AQ. Super BAH!!

So i'm down to $350 he's got 13k with the blinds 300/600. This looks over and i say GG.

But i manage to win 4 hands on the trott (super lucky) gettin my self bk up to 4k and the blinds are now 400/800.

I get 44 in the SB, i mini raise he shoves with AJ. flop is K4K

He's fumin now n is shovin with anything. I finaly beat his 35 shove with Q7.

Jus amazed how i was down to $350 with blinds at 300/600 and i managed to get back to beat him!

N now im in the Sunday 200k GTD. Not bad for 70FPP. I cud of easily paid $10 and gone in the MTT but it feels good to splash those FPP's and join a MTT for free when u thought u were gonna b dead HU.

HU is amazing how it can go either way. Just gotta play it patient and study ur opp very well.

I agree. As long as you are playing a quality opponent, or someone that knows how you play very well, heads-up is about as good as it gets. The cards lose their importance.

Heads up is where I made my initial bankroll (Before I cashed out). I used to play $5 and $10 HU sngs at pokerstars. Highly profitable!

I totally agree with this, most of your opponents are too eager to shove thinking that you will fold just because they went all in, I like donking off a few hundred chips at the beggining of a HU game and show the occasional bluff to them to try and induce a loose shove.

heading in the right direction

I love heads up too, when i read the title i thought you were talking about the wsop Europe. (Jauanda and Alechian) lol But great game i havent played HU against a formidable opponnent in a long while, usually it only last a few min ending in a coin flip. But i hope to be in a game like you soon. Keep it up and heading in the right direction.

I love playing HU , it's my favorite part of the game. I cant think of a favorite HU game imparticular but I did my meet my bf playing one. Yes he won, and still beats me whenever we play HU lol

GG ukaliks. I love roller coaster games like that. HU is great cause you need to stay on your toes. Although I haven't played a lot of them online yet. I should go check it out.
