Default Re: OT: Heads up starting hands

Lando,

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

Not only does this really apply to all poker....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.

As for starting hands vs. 'normal' lowish buyin HU STT players....you can play a huge range and raise a lot b/c you're always up vs. a random hand...it's not like a ring game where you're up against 9 hands when someone or other likely has a premium hand. You can almost play HU without looking at your cards until you face a big bet/raise and know that you need to have 'it'....in fact, I think I'm going to try just that.
