re: Poker & Strategy Tips and Tricks
When I'm heads up, I like to start by playing really safe. Play only good hands, fold a lot post flop if my opponent bets and I don't have anything, ang bet/call when I have something. It's usually rather quick before my opponent start to adapt his plays to that, and try to get all my blinds while folding most of the time when I bet/raise, cause he thinks I'm easy to read and I only play when I have something.
Then I completely change my style and start playing aggressively, resulting in him thinking I'm lucky and have quite a few good hands in a row, so he folds a lot more and I get his blinds. Then he adapts to the aggressive style and I go for a more mixed style.
I find this works quite well cause the two playing style are not bad, and although I usually lose some chips during the passive phase, I tend to get them back and more with the transition to the aggressive style.
While doing this, I keep in mind that he can also have good hands, and that I still need to be careful. But that's a trick I really like to do when I get all the way to heaps-up (happens mostly in Sit and Go's in my case).
