Hey guys, Im semi-new to poker and have a quick question for you. I play a lot of poker on full tilt poker, facebook poker, and on xbox live. Iv never played with real money, other then at family games because im only 18.
I have been readin as much about no limit hold em and trying to study as much as I can and I still am confused in one area of the game specificaly.... Heads up play.
Ill play in a tournament style game and it almost always comes down to just me and another guy because ill play relatively tight and let the other players bust each other out early on. Most of the time when it boils down to heads up play the othe guy will have alot more chips then me just because he played a little looser but this is not always the case.. So I have 2 main questions:
1. What cards should I play preflop in headsup? I get used to folding shitty hands preflop but i dont want to just keep letting the villian steal my blind time after time. I realize i have to play looser but what hands should I fold right away and what hands should I play in heads up?
2. Should I play heads up differently when the villian has a good chip lead on me? Tighter, but then Ill just keep giving up my blinds and lose a little at a time or looser and risk losing it all?
The questions are some what similar but as you can tell I need advice and am pretty new, and heads up brings me alot of trouble. Thanks guys!
