I"m looking to work on my heads up play so I decided to spend some time playing some heads up tourneys on Stars.
I'm actually pretty decent at HU normally as my win % is good in a 9 or 10 seater and I'm usually short stacked at this point.
Here's the thing though. With a full game tourney the blinds are very significant by the time it gets to 2. So this favors an aggressive style.
With the blinds small though it's giving me some trouble. I've won more than I lost but the players who are beating me are weak/tight. And I'm talking WEAK. I'm winning a lot of pots but they're very small, and these guys are just waiting for a good hand and taking me for a lot more than I'm winning. And when I get a hand I don't get paid because they fold so much.
Anyone have any ideas on how to best handle these players?
