The Head to Head (Heads Up) Poker The butt is becoming increasingly popular in recent years, largely through the Internet and sites such as PokerStars offering sit'n'gos head to head with buy- from $ 1 to $ 5000. But all is not reduced only to this because the heads-up is also fun and an opportunity to improve. Simply stated this is invalid because you can not hide because if you are waiting for the Assi, you end up outside just to the forced bets - paid the blinds every hand. J4, A2 and K3 have a good chance to pair up with the flop, you must then raise any playable hand and discard only the real trash like 53 or 72 off suit. So bluff, read your opponent and play post flop all assume paramount importance.
The other distinctive feature of the butt is the location that is the key to no-limit games, as important as the tennis serve. Since the dealer must place the small blind in this format and therefore should be the first to speak before the flop but after the last of it, both players have the opportunity to take the lead and put pressure on post flop.
In short, you should play your best poker attack after the flop and be difensisi most out of the flop. How well you do depends on you and the blinds since the end of the tournament these are very high and the risks involved in play are the same for both positions - remember the main advantage of the small blind is that there are three rounds of bet after the flop, which means you have three chances to shoot zero on the opponent and force him to use large resources, or go see leaving the big blind .
Working on this paradigm is the first step towards success in the butt, after a lot of this depends on your opponent. Fortunately, if you follow the formula of constantly attacking the small blind (a unless you run into resistance) and defend in a different position (unless you have a monster hand) you'll soon understand that pasta is done your opponent. If you understand that he has adopted the same strategy, the game could be a long debate with no winners.
If, however, continues to challenge us in this way there are opportunities to highlight weaknesses of the opponent - for example if they are often -call raises or check-raise out of position become vulnerable, or play passively in a good position by indulging in too much freedom? Bluff too much or too little, or perhaps always respond the same way to your game? revived too much or too little allowing you to stay in the game when they should not? All these are
weaknesses that you can exploit during the game and you can indicate how to adapt your game - poker is not a battle to be macho, it's just a matter of who will have the chips at the end. As always in no-limit is one big mistake that will cost you everything and dozens of small mistakes, so be careful and hope that your opponent to do it first - and often the error is of strategic nature such as those listed above, so be careful analysis of your opponent's strategy as well as yours. The
Limit holdem is a little different if played head to head, the position has a minor role but do not forget. What we did at the end is a pure psychological war of aggression - you should raise with any hand in the small blind and insist as much as possible up the river, try to bring as many points as possible if you have any hope. In limit holdem, no limit to the difference shall be granted some big mistakes (in fact they may turn in your favor because there would appear to be "non- bleffabile ") but you can not afford to commit so many children will eventually be in these exhausted.
Per i giocatori che prediligono i limiti più alti in particolare è necessario essere iper-aggressivi in questo formato, rilanciando più volte pre-flop anche con mani che non meritano, tanto per confondere il vostro avversario e cercando di mantenere l'iniziativa per costringerlo ad agire di conseguenza. Inoltre, mentre le prolungate battaglie nel no-limit sono improbabili, lo sono molto più in questo formato nel quale le partite possono durare anche ore o giorni, perché la fortuna può girare da una parte e dall'altra ma alla fine il vincitore sarà quello che psicologicamente si è dimostrato più forte .
Se queste ultime affermazioni vi hanno spaventato, better to start with some sit'n'go where sooner or later everything reaches a natural conclusion, then start thinking about post flop play in other formats - if you're too timid, or passive play some wild game heads up not that can help you improve your weaknesses.
