Default Re: OT: Heads Up Strategies and considertaions

2 - When should I get agressive?

[/ QUOTE ]

Immediately -- if not sooner.

Heads up I don't like to play in an unraised pot except to confuse my opponent (e.g., when I have 76s and want him to think I have Aces I'll just complete or check).

I will regularly raise (3-4x BB) if my opponent completes from the small blind to discourage this sort of behavior.

If my opponent starts re-raising or pushing preflop, I'll tighten up (but stay aggressive).

I will back off postflop if he shows he will call me down.

Smart opponents will try to trap me, so I try not to call when they flop sets. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
