moFace Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 just noticed recently on a few sites a Heads Up MTT, how does this work? is it just 1v1 and you carry on till 1 is left? (if that makes sense) seems a bit pointless if so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokerose Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Re: heads up mtt? I think there was an article on it in the recent Inside Egde. Seem pointless to me too, but I know a few people that do that regularly I guess if you know you're better than average at HU play, its quite a good way to double your buy in quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moFace Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 Re: heads up mtt? but if its a multi, do you only get cash for top 19 finish for example like normal tournys, seems you would need a huge slice of luck to get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokerose Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Re: heads up mtt? yeah, You would just go on until you eliminate everyone else. Prize structure seem to be pretty similar to a standard muti in the example I'm looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Re: heads up mtt? I enjoy them - and HU play could be so important in a BIG tourney one day - I view it as an essential skill to practice - so often in MTT's you get to the last 2 and the other person hasn't a clue how to do HU........

friskyfitz Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Re: heads up mtt? Played a few of these before and they are infuriating. Example 64 players in - 2nd hand im dealt QQ Other player opens with a raise of 200 - i flat call to see a flop land with something like 2,4,7. He goes for 200 again Again I just call fearing trips - Turn is a queen He's ALL in so I follow suit and call He has A,Q and is drawing dead.............. I then wait 32 mins for my next hand of cards because you have to wait for all the games to finish before moving on to the next opponent. 32 mins for a hand of cards. In the last 16 - I finish off a player fairly quickly too so go for a quick cup of tea, when I come back im down to 900 or so chips from a starting 1,500 :lol:lol:lol I lost!! Infuriating!!!!

Valiant23 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Re: heads up mtt? Thats spot on! :rollin :rollin :rollin I like the 'knockout' style of them - never made the money, but enjoy them as a way to let off steam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guesswest Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Re: heads up mtt? Fritz and anyone else that's sick of all the waiting around in these - there are a few sites do HU tourneys that aren't knockout style, they just shuffle players around randomly and people go out like in a normal MTT. Pacific is the only place I'm sure does it that way, but think I've seen that somewhere else too....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im the ones Ive played - you get a new starting stack in each round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Andy Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Re: heads up mtt? I`ve never played a HU tourney like the ones on SO, even though i`d like to, but it`s the waiting around that just puts me off. Thanks for bringing that to my attention though, guesswest :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
