Re: Heads up for 1st place - did I screw it up?
With the blinds that absurdly high you have to fight to the bitter end with a poket pair, and a good start is making a big raise pre-flop. After that be prepared to go all in and if you can get all your money in pre-flop that's even better. With 500-1000 blinds its a crapshoot and any pocket pair is a strong enough horse to ride all the way. HU you should be doing more raising than calling pre-flop and almost no folding. There's about a 14% chance he's got a better pair than you and he'll flop a pair or better about what, 30% of the time? Chances are you're ahead, go with it and take your chances.
