heads up game:
ive been having a good run but recently i played a game where i wasnt getting any good holdings and i wasnt hitting with anything except low pairs.
i got 7 premium holdings in the 53 hands of the game. my best holding was KK, i 2X pot pre, and got called. an Ace was on the flop, i raised pot again and got reraised instantly. that was an easy fold (or was it?). only 3 of my 7 good hands hit and won.
other than that i was getting dealt rags, hitting low pairs that took me nowhere. my opponent didnt seem overly aggressive but i was getting raised every few hands or so when i had nothing. i tried to call a few bluffs and never caught him. but actually he showed me a bluff at one point, i think he did that because he was getting a good run and trying to loosen me up a bit.
in my last hand i was down about 4-1 in chips and decided to go all in with A-2. my opponent called and turned over AA.
is there any way to deal with a game like this? or is this one of those situations where skills and tricks cant do much? should i carry on or is there something to be learned?
