Default Re: How to Play Heads Up Monsters

I agree with most of you about normally min-raising preflop. The reason that I didn't do this was because of the read. He was one of the guys that would normally raise big if I just called the big blind. I thought that if I just called and got him to raise big preflop that this would be the only way to get any chips in the pot because he had been folding to most of my raises.

Normally, at the beginning of heads up play I like to just call a few times to try to get the other player to start raising my calls. This can set up a good trap situation when you get a very good hand.

Turning the boat really saved me. I've lost a few hands playing like this when guys will catch small flushes and straights and I'm still not sure if the is the best way to play. It seems if it gets played like this, it turns into an all or nothing hand.
