It's dependent on the opponent, history, image, HU tendencies, feel out the first few hands.

Then it's attack, attack, attack.

I would not change my strategy at all.

Your assumption that our opponent will not adjust his play given the standings is not realistic.

If I were the opponent, I would not change my strategy either.

Basically the whole question is based on an assumption that seems contradicting to me.

If someone is changing his strategy, this will also change his expectation. From then on he is playing either better or worse than his opponent. I don't see how we can use the term "equal skill" in this scenario.

[ QUOTE ]
In which of the following ways would you tend to alter your play as compared to how you would play if it was simply a one match championship?

Play tighter preflop

Play looser preflop

Make your value bets bigger/smaller

Bluff more/less

Semi-bluff more/less

Be more/less inclined to call very big bets or get involved with big pots

Any other adjustments you care to name.

[/ QUOTE ]

None. I'm itching to say why. And I was going to say that even before seeing CityFan's answer. I swear!

Since it is given that opponent continues to play the same, then I should not be changing my strategy. I am obviously ahead in the series for a reason.

More aggresive and willing to call more. I'd be willing to get all my chips in evan when behind.
