Heads Up Play Issue

Hello,

I joined a 10 buy 8 man tournament Monday night. Later, it was down to 3 handed and in terms of chips I was second. At some point, player leading in chips beaten the other player. He had one or two lead advantage over me going into heads up play. Well, it appeared to me as a not so big advantage as when I play heads up, I open up a lot and will play almost any cards and so for that I end up calling and raising with marginal hands while hoping to have some action and fun.

Honestly, I find my approach pretty much effective however when I play with a certain player who would normally fold without a good hand and wouldn’t call bets or raises on the flop without mid to top pair, things are a bit different. In case I play with such kind of players, I would normally call raises hoping to bust someone later. Once I remember my stack decreased in an instant because of the blinds and minor dry spell. I had A9c and then went all in. Then with jacks he called and because no one had an ace he won.

How do you find the way I play? I’m now on great trouble as I don’t know if my strategies really make sense. Do you know any good strategies?

Thanks and nice site!

Schwenning,

Your strategy is a good one but when you play tight players you need to be careful when they play back. Don’t stay in a hand with a tight player when they play back at you hoping to catch lucky. Usually all you will catch is 2nd place.
