Re: heads up NL holdem - what to raise with
Well the cards don't really matter as much headsup till either you or your opponent get shortstacked and it is time to go for the knockout shot. What does come into much more so is the type of opponent you are up against. Calling station= play relatively tight and hammer away when you have a hand. Maniacs=simply wait for the best opportunities and trap him Rocks=hammer away EVERY hand unless you get some resistance then simply get out of the way. One rule I pretty much live by headsup is NO LIMPING he limps I raise no matter what I have. SB if you are gonna play the hand you RAISE unless trying to trap. Very difficult to actually put percentages on how much to loosen up because you will be playing most if not all of your hands to the flop. Most important to me is effective aggression and proper evaluation of your opponent so you can adjust accordingly. Hope that helps
