Re: Heads up and actually having to play poker

Been there.
You have to play much more WPT style. Limp trap with big hands. Make plays at pots. Call a preflop raise with T9s. You have to let go of your tight/aggressive game, and get splashy. For example, you'd never dream of checking bottom two pair into an opponent with a two tone flop during the middle of a tournament. But, you're likely going to win much less if you don't. Just mix things up and have fun with it. Call more with draws. Play middle pair like top pair. Etc.

great advice...just wanted to add also...get a feel for your opponent before playing one style or another...see how theyre playing and adjust accordingly (u get the idea). Unlike huge BB to stack ratio HU, this affords you to feel things out.
I would raise PF with top 40-50%...trap, and also watch out for one as well.
Again, just bc the blinds are lower doesnt mean this isnt sort of a crapshoot as well...its often gonna come down to two hands very good hands coinciding and one of them getting the board. But its fun along the way.
