Heads up help.
I'm pretty pathetic with I play Heads up NLHE, does anyone have any advice?
Of the twenty or so times I've made it heads up, I've only won tens times, a couple of which I played against really passive players who were trying to nut peddel during HU play, and a couple I just won by shear fact that I had a massive chips lead. I've been a 3:1 chip leader, and I always seem to make one or two big blunders and blow my lead and then I just get steam rolled. I know every opponent/situation will be different, I just want some general advice. |

Re: Heads up help.
Wait, you're 50% heads up over 20 games and you think this is a problem?

Re: Heads up help.
What I'm saying is that five or more of those wins was because my opponents were really bad or I have a massive 10:1 chip lead, so I'm actually more like 4 for 14 against quality opponents.

Yea, but I'm sure a couple of the times you were short stacked. You have to consider all the data in your ever so miniscule sample size. Seriously, play at least a few hundred before you begin to analyze it.
Over my last 60 heads up matches, I'm 23 wins and 37 loses. And I'm not worried at all. |

Re: Heads up help.
Read Dan Harrington's NLHE tournament book, Vol. 2. The final chapter is all about heads up play. Lots of sensible pointers and a great analytic framework. He takes you through a headsup finish between Phil Ivey and John D'Agostino -- and shows you how Phil takes John apart, even though John flops the only monster hand the whole time.
I spent a couple hours with it last week, and it's taken me from being miserable to no worse -- and occasionally better -- than the folks I'm playing |

Re: Heads up help.
I did just get HoH vII today, so I'm expecting it to be good, but I'm going to read it front to back though I am tempted to jump ahead.
