How to play Heads Up

[Miyagi not miyaji]

I've been struggling with my Heads Up game since I started playing poker.

Even when I have a good chip advantage, I feel my opponents have an edge over me.

What do you think it's the heads up best strategy? Raise all your hands in position? Full maniac or wait for good hands?

You can’t sit and wait for good cards heads up. You have to get in there and fight. It’s mostly going to be one junk hand vs another junk hand. The fun thing about heads up play is you only have one player to bluff now. You don’t have to play like a maniac with mindless aggression, but smart aggression is a must heads up in my opinion.
It’s going to take a lot of experience to get a good feel for heads up. In the meantime study everything you can on heads up play. Good luck!

GTO WIZARD free version lets you see GTO HU MTT ranges preflop a great place to start and then adapt for Villain tendencies----also great if you have the hand replayer and can see how you V are playing HU as well compared to GTO
