SnG Heads Up Tourny $5.25

[LewsTherin7]

I'd convert these but they are from a tourny atAbsolute and they don't work with the converter.

Anyway did I raise with the right cards; raise to much; raise to little?
Thanks for the input.

Hi, I will take a look at these but am flat out right now. Just didn't want you to think your post had gone into a black hole

[taipan168]

Looks pretty good to me. A few specific comments:

14. Keep your raise size consistent, don't vary it depending on the strength of your hand. If you are raising AA 3x BB then raise K2o the same.

16. Same. Keep raise size consistent.

20. Ditto.

22. Ditto. You can stand up to some action here, no need to over-raise.

23. I like this.

25. A2o - given that opp doesn't seem to have raised that much, I don't think I come over the top here. If he's raising a tight range, you're behind any pocket pair and any ace, which has to be a large part of his raising range. I would just flat call and see a flop, you're still deep stacked.

[LewsTherin7]

Thanks for the comments Taipan.

For the betting consistency I think you are trying to tell me not to rate my hand to the opponenent by bet/raise amount. Where a minraise=weak hand and 10xBB=AA.

Is that correct?

Yes, that's right. Raising the same amount whether you have a weak or strong hand disguises the strength of your strong hands. Most of my HU experience is at the end of a full-table tourney so stacks are much shallower, but my experience is that when you raise 60-80% of hands HU, eventually opp gets tired of it and starts re-raising you. If you raise the same amount every time, they will have no idea whether you have a monster or crap.

Also never fold pre-flop. Your hand may be junk, but you opponent may have worse junk, & who knows, you can hit anything on the flop. Only start folding if your opponent consistently raises after you limped. & I also agree on the consistent raising pattern, I almost always raise 3-4x the blind no matter what I have. Those over the top raises, with the K-7, etc, if I was your opponent, would scream don't call me, if I have any kind of hand I am shoving over the top, or even doing a stop & go.
