heads up strategy

[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

[beardown420]

No doubt the agressor in heads up usually has the advantage. I usually like to raise every button and even come over the top of my opponent when he/she raises the button. When I feel I can outplay my opponent I rarely like to get it all in pre flop I like to see flops and out play them.

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.

yup..aggression is the key, I tend to raise no matter what I have pre-flop, if i get re-raised with a poo hand then simply fold, if i get re-raised with a solid hand (AA,KK,QQ,AK,AQ etc) I tend to push, if i get re-raised with a mediocre hand then call and play the flop...but all out aggression always works for me .

i guess your idea is good,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, since i do the same most of the time ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

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.
