Default Re: Small Blind, You\'re In Anyways...

[ QUOTE ]
I just read Harrington II and according to his section on heads up, you should always complete in the small blind with any two cards. He says to do so in heads up, but his argument is that the pot is giving you 3-1, so you have to. I have to assume if their are better odds made by more limpers, you would have to call even with 72o. Am I interpreting this wrong?

When you're heads up, you're first to act preflop, but last to act post flop. So you have position postflop, which is a good thing. Plus, when it's heads up, it's more likely that the BB doesn't have a hand.

When you're playing 8-10 handed, it's a lot more likely that someone behind you has a hand. And you're out of position. So even if you hit, you could still be dead.

There's a reason Harrington has a whole section on heads up play, it's very different then when it's a full table or short handed.
