This is gonna be long. I'm posting all the big pots that I lost and won heads up in the most recent SNG I played. Please tell me what I did wrong in each hand, if anything and what I should have done differently. Also whether I should be doing anything differently in general
I've been playing some 11 cent 10 man SNGs on betonline. I think I play decent early on but have trouble when I get down heads up and finish 2nd more often than 1st. I've squandered 5 : 1 chip leads or better multiple times when heads up. I win a lot of small hands but lose the big ones and end up doubling up my opponents.
For e.g-I had 11,290 chips and villain had 2,755. Villain has been playing tight and passive until now but seems to get more loose now. I've noticed that he only bets the flop when he has something or at least a draw. If he bets into me on the flop he has hit something but does not necessarily have to be strong. He has bet into me with bottom/middle pair earlier but never a bluff. When he checks back to me on the flop, I bet ALWAYS and he folds most of the time(unless he has a draw-plays them passively). That should be enough info
