3--HU Level XII: Seeking Playing Guidelines
I found myself HU at Level XII for the first time. Blinds/antes were 1000/2000/100. I had mostly weak cards for this stretch but hung in there. I almost busted my opponent once or twice, but I ultimately lost.
I think I was a little too passive and trying to be a little too patient. Every blind you don't contest is a huge concession to your opponent. How do you play here? What hands are you pushing from the Dealer/Small Blind? What hands are you calling with from the BB? Some plays I made that might have been bad, and my stack sizes/blind, in order they were played (I had some hands in between the ones shown below)... - Q3s SB Complete/Fold 10150/1100 Maybe complete was bad. Always allin or nothing? - Q4 Folded to AllIn 7050/2100 Was this a call? - T9 Folded to AllIn 7050/2100 Call? - J3 SB Folded 5959/1100 Do I push this? - Q3 BB Folded to Allin 3850/2100 This was killer and I think I had to defend here. I wound up having to go allin on my next hand which was 43o and lost. Edit: Added 5 hands I played |

Re: HU Level XII: Seeking Playing Guidelines

Re: HU Level XII: Seeking Playing Guidelines
First thought was all hands... but of course it depends on what your opponent is pushing / Calling with.
If he calls <70% then you can push any 2 from SB If he pushes any 2 you can call with everything except 23off, on second thoughts call with 32off as well - he might be bluffing! Have a play with the SNG PT - fun results. Cheers, Mark |

Re: HU Level XII: Seeking Playing Guidelines
A very basic rule of thumb is that you should be calling pushes with a range about half as wide as your opponent's pushing range. Interestingly, this holds pretty well over a wide span of stack/blind ratios. By the time the blinds/antes get to about 10% of the total chips in play, you should be pushing 75-90% of hands against most opponents.

Re: HU Level XII: Seeking Playing Guidelines
Push ATC from the SB.
From BB, assuming equal stacks, you'll be getting 4-1 pot odds, at pot odds of 2-1 you can call with a range slightly wider than villians. At 4-1 I think you have to call with ATC. Your not a 4-1 underdog against evan a tight villians range. Basically ATC and pray for some luck, no amount of skill can help you here. And yes completing then folding is awful. |
