Default Re: How to play when folded to on the sb against a good player?

interesting thread, same as what i was asking but i just picked 99 as an example.

i agree with tommo. equally though i think you can have more of a raise/fold strategy.

the most important factor is being able to change your game based on how your blind battles have gone the last few times, and be able to exploit his view of you to your advantage. by constantly being aware of his view of you, so you can constantly either tighten, loosen, be more or less aggressive depending on how to exploit his view of you.

without the ability to adapt your play based on his changing view of you (based on how you have played the last few hands vs him), you will lose, but with such ability and always being 'one step ahead' in using your image advantageously, then you should come out ahead.

im sure this is pretty fundamental stuff and something most will know, but something i think is definitely valid with all hands, especially in such regular heads up scenarios.
