Heads-up ...losing faith in my play
I'm going through a spell where everytime it gets HU in a SNG...I ALWAYS take second. I just need assurance from you guys that I'm making the correct moves.
How do thsse look: (All of these are $55 SNG so 10k chips in play) 1. Blinds 200/400 I'm in SB w/ KJo, 6200 chips ...I push 2. Blinds 250/500 I'm in SB w/ 22, 3400 chips....I push 3. Blinds 300/600 I'm in BB w/ A2o, 7000 chips...opponents pushes and I CALL. 4. Blinds 250/500 I'm in SB w/ 9Qo, 1900 chips...I push 5. Blinds 250/500 I'm in SB w/ 5Ts, 8900 chips...I push Any other input w/ HU play in general would be appreciated. Thanks guys. |

Re: Heads-up ...losing faith in my play
I fold 3 and 5.
3 because, while pushing with any ace vs a random hand is good...A2 is a pretty weak calling hand. You are hoping to be a slight favorite but can very easily be dominated. 5 because he is almost in a must call situation and will call with a very wide range of hands that will have you beat. |

All of them look good except
"5. Blinds 250/500 I'm in SB w/ 5Ts, 8900 chips...I push" I fold this unless I think there is a chance he folds to my push, which there shouldn't be. |

[/ QUOTE ] Jman is wrong. Push all 5. 3 is good b/c an ace is the best hand 90% of the time headsup, and the blinds are just too damn high. 5 is a push as well b/c the BB still may only call with the top 70% of hands, and if you are called its like rolling a dice with you only having to hit a 5 or 6 to win. |

Remember, when you are HU, you ALWAYS want to give your opponent a chance to bust, esp when it does relatively little danger to your stack. [/ QUOTE ] |

Re: Heads-up ...losing faith in my play
I just ran this through SNG power tools..
Here is an intersting little fact I just found out. Stacks: Hero 8900 before post Villian 1100 before post Blinds are 300/600 Hero is SB. If you know the villian is going to call with any 2 which he should be.. then you should only be raising with the top 57% of hands thats (22+,A2+,K2+,Q3o+,Q2s+,J6o+,J3s+,T7o+,T6s+,98o,97s +,87s) |

Re: Heads-up ...losing faith in my play
3 isn't goood imo because at best you are a 59% favorite and only 53% against any random hand. Even if he has something like j8o you are still only 57% and you are dead against any other ace or any pair. Risk reward just isn't worth it for me...even with the high blinds.

[/ QUOTE ] Push all 5. Can't push #3. Jman - I fold this unless I think there is a chance he folds to my push Myst - Jman is wrong. - 5 is a push as well b/c the BB still may only call with the top 70% of hands I think Jman said that he pushes if there is a fair chance the villain will fold some hands. So, you are wrong about him being wrong. and if you are called its like rolling a dice with you only having to hit a 5 or 6 to win. or like getting all in in poker with a hand likely to be the worst. Whichever analogy works for you. |
