Re: OT: Heads Up Strategies and considertaions
I wrote my earlier post quickly, just like I'm knocking this one out fast, so I'm sure that I could be expressing myself better. (DevinLake certainly made the points clearer.) That said, I was not limiting my earlier post to button play.
IMPO, passivity is more important than position. If villian generally is going to fold to a bet after he's checked it to me, I'm not that worried that I might have to play a hand out of position.
As far as deep stack PF play goes, if I'm checked to, I bet about 1/4 the time. If villian minraises, I always call. If villian raises about 3xBB, I'll reraise about 1/3 the time to see what he does. If villian is almost always raising >5xBB, at the first levels, I'll wait for a PP or AJo+ and push.
Keep in mind, I'm not viewing these as rules or as anything close to an "optimal" strategy. These are just rough guides to my starting parameters as I'm trying to smoke out the villian's style.
