Message: [QUOTE="ted80, post: 1301868, member: 56913"] i play violent heads up. due to bad chasers, i have a pretty good percentage heads up. in micro, its not uncommon for me to have a fifth sized stack of the guy i'm up against, and its usually no problem to dispose of him. you come up against several types of players in this situation. the donkmaster...he's willing to call you down with whatever. he doesn't raise, he just calls so you just know when to check it on out there or give em hell. the wuss...sb raises with crap make him fold...he'll start folding on his sb back to you...so when he plays, nothing wrong with taking a stab at it with your 23o but be ready to lay it on down. the "i suck, i shouldn't be here, i like to just go all in every hand and leave it to a coin toss cause that's the only time i ever have a shot at winning"...give it a few hands and wait for a high card...or if you realize he folds to your raises on sb...eat him alive there. ideally, i like going against the guy who likes to bet, raise and re-raise mindlessly because that's exploitable with less "chance play" going on. even he establishes a pattern...and heads up i feel pretty confident at not being predictable. there are many ppl you can destroy by pattern and rule play you've set that they won't get the hang of and you need to realize this within a handful of hands...if they're weak heads up you got em unless they're just having a lucky day. the raise and reraise is the most important play in heads up just like in a full table...along with the trusty old fold. i find with 3 ppl i'm more apt to shoving all in, especially if i'm not in the lead, but heads up i'm doing standard raises and reraises...heads up, i feel like i should be taking my time, there's just one man to beat and every hand has potential value. so i adjust due to my opponent at this point. am i short where i need to just be shoving or should i be bullying? i'm looking for leaks in his game, i'm trying to see what he's playing if i can afford a call too...and hopefully i have notes on him from previous games [/QUOTE]
