Re: OT: Heads up starting hands

One more time: IT'S NOT ABOUT YOUR CARDS IT'S ABOUT YOUR OPPONENT.

While this is said often and many times exaggerated, I think this is interesting in this discussion. For example, what kind of opponent makes Q7 (or any other medicore hand) a profitable hand? The thing is I am not sure there will be a big difference from opponent to opponent in the low buy ins. In a 10 handed sng there are probably several situations where the standard line is incorrect against your opponent but it works well enough to make money overall. Obviously, the difference will be greater in HU sngs since you are playing only one opponent instead of a group.

it especially does to these deep stacks HU STTs where there really aren't objectively 'correct' plays based on pure math. You need to know your opponent and it will affect the math way more than in a 10H STT or MTT or whatever.

I don't understand this. How will it affect the math more? Are you saying more accurate hand ranges are needed? Or is it because the hand ranges will be wider HU than at a full table?
