heads up strategy

[JackausBerlin]

It depends on the villain!

[dadsrus]

heads up is like almost every other hansd in poker got to know when to bet big or when to fold and you have to rearrange your range of hands that you would normally use i like to fold a few times get the guys hopes up and catch him play crap cards then i bounce all over his chip stack it only takes 1 hand to bust a guy so play as many hands as you want better have the right cards lol

[aldo2010]

yes i agree, agression is the key

[Fat man]

i love to get a guy who goes all in every hand then i just set an wait for a nice hand to call. I win alot like this. If not i agree with the rest of you hit them hard.

[samitheman99]

i agree with you ,, but a lot of times my aces get cracked up ,,,, soo just raising in every pot , so that the other player won't read ur game

if you play a heads up speacialist,aggresion is not enough.hand reading skills are vital,better you read more you win.

I have to admit I feel like these answers seem bland, probably bc ppl just want the points.

I play mostly HU both cash and sngs. I can say playing erratically at stakes where you can lose without thinking twice can really open your eyes. Do your best to make your opponent uncomfortable, do things that might not make sense to you(yet), you'll be surprised.

yes i think that in heads up you got to play at least 80% of the hands ..and at least 60% of the hands aggressively

[upstatezebra]

you gotta play a bunch of hands. aggression is the ultimate factor in heads. use position to your advantage. the hardest part of poker is hu play

[ProBlackbird]

Don't just play too aggressive have seen some jerk just push all in every single hands in these headsup tournaments, that's kind of insane. Cash Game would be different I think, haven't play high stackes tables yet on HU.
