Stars Turbo S&G Heads-Up Play: Comments Please
Heads up in a $5+.50 Turbo NL S&G on PokerStars a few minutes ago. Blinds are T400/800. I have roughly T9000 to my opponent's T4500. My opponent, who was pretty tight before we got heads-up, has been moving all in about 75-80% of the time when he's on the button with the SB, or I limp from the SB. I have K8h in the SB. Initially, I thought about raising, but I expected him to move in if I limped. If he pushed, I intended to call. That is exactly what happened.
Does anyone think, given the above, that I'm ahead enough of the time for this strategy to be correct? He was folding to most of my raises out of the SB, but I thought my hand was good enough to take a shot at taking him out at that point, hoping he'd push with a weaker hand, before it became a total crapshoot. I think I like my play, given the context, but I'd like some feedback. The major downside with my play, as I see it, is that I was pretty sure I could outplay my opponent postflop, as he seemed to be playing pretty weakly.
**RESULTS BELOW**
He had Q7d, and I made kings and eights to win the tournament.
