Default Re: $4/180 - Final heads up hand

I disagree with the "Never fold SB Heads up" theory. Pot odds may seem to justify a call, but using only pot odds heads up gives away all your edges (position, card selection, reads, etc...) and turns poker into a slot machine.

So many otherwise great players suddenly want to just "get lucky" heads up instead of playing the game. It hurts my head. Sure variance is sick heads up. But you can still use your edges. (and in many ways, they are greatly magnified).

Pot odds are great. Pot odds help decision making. But they are nowhere near the only factor. Even heads up.
