Do I suck heads up?
the past couple days worth of about 50 SNG's (mosly $22/$33 a handful $55)
I have more than double # of 2nd finishes than 1st. hardly any 3rd. It almost comes to the point where in the last few sngs when i'm ITM I almost expect myself to get 2nd like a strange mindset. I stank at heads up. Any way to improve or articles on heads up play? I guess I could just stick it and play a bunch of heads up games. HALP plz. |

Push & call more than the other guy. That's about it, really.

As for having double the amount of seconds it could easily just be variance. Nobody can really give you specific help unless you ask specific questions. |

Re: Do I suck heads up?
actually I ended up making quikie notes on just about every loss after each SNG. now that I look at them especially 2nd place losses, seems like I loosen up way too much for HU, both preflop and post flop.
my 2nd finish losses. 64s vs JJ min raise by JJ 6 high flop 3 bet all in loss J9s vs QJ pf steal reraised to all in ,Q on flop QJ vs KT flop QTx raised all in K on river Q7 vs KK Q high flop, check raised on turn to AI AA vs JJ smooth call his raise pf, board came J high, he leads, i raise on turn, i bet on river get CR AI. A4 vs AT pf steal gone bad. |

Re: Do I suck heads up?
And never fold on the button - you are getting 3:1 in position on your money. See the flop, make a decision there. You will connect 1 time out of 3 to break even on your acll, and you can bluff a good number of times to make sure you're ahead. If your opponent folds too much in the SB - that's all the difference you need. Avoid marginal AI calls if stack allows.

Re: Do I suck heads up?
Well that's really not good advice,for a start there should never be a "never" and also it's often correct to fold if your opponent is aggressive. I hate people making broad brushstrokes like that, it ALWAYS depends!
