Heads up with Mr. Weak Tight

MaqEvil · #1 09-11-2004, 03:11 AM

I think I played this absolutely horribly. I consider my usually very aggressive heads up play a huge asset and for some reason, I let a very weak tight player get me off of my game. This is a $100 Party SNG.

You call him weak tight.... why are you calling a check-raise? When he check-miniraises you, fold! You have better spots.

The only other thing I would do differently is raise more often preflop with your weak aces.

I think you misjudged your opponent, I don't see from these hands where you could consider him weak-tight. I think people often make the mistake of labeling a player as weak tight, when in fact all he's doing is playing smart poker. There's a huge difference between playing weak-tight and playing smart. One thing I did notice is you're not giving your good hands a chance to make any money for you, raising all-in with AK heads-up is a mistake. You want to trap your opponent with these hands and make him pay you off. Use your crap cards for stealing blinds, I'll often push with something as weak as 78o and just call or min-raise with my premium hands.

As I said, I really, really hate how I played this, I don't know what the hell I was thinking
