Heads-up in a Cash game

[Off5th]

I logged on to my full tilt account yesterday to see if any of the stars were playing and I found Mike Matusow playing in a $5,000 n/l table w/ one player. Right from the start I seen him take chunk by chunk from the other players stack and eventually destacking him 2 or 3 times in a matter of an hour. The biggest hand Mike won with was a gutshot straight on the turn. This was interesting because on the flop he raised big with his gutshot. I guess he went on implied odds with this one but man what a call, risking most of his chips like that. Right now I feel like I have no problem making money $25 n/ and $50 n/l because of the increase size of poor players you meet at your tables. Obviously when you move to higher limits the field will decrease and you will have to play a really strong game. This brings me to my question... how do you go about being successfull in a heads-up high no limt cash game?? Would a new bankroll requirement have to be supplemented?? How then would you play your draws?? Seeing as it you will hardly get odds to call would you then go on implied odds most of the time?? I'd really like to hear everyone's thoughts about this one.

HU is a completely different ballgame and requires a far larger BR due to way more varience.

I play a few mins HU here and there whenever I start a new 6max table. I havent played much so have little to comment.. but I guess post flop play is like any play in ring when your HU. know the player and exploit their weeknesses.

basically at upper limit HU play you have to be able to predict what cards are coming

mike matusow can do that

Mike mentioned on tv the other night that he had pissed away most of his $1mil he took from the WSOP due to sports betting and online play. I guess it didn't take him long to start gambling again

The trick is to play people worse than you.
