Re: **Poker Friday 2nd March** Happy birthday Al - have a good'un :ok Hornet, first thing I would say - Heads Up skills are MASSIVELY different to full table or short handed poker skills - if you dont practice them, then the only time you get to practice/learn is when it is important and you are playing for big money. I urge you and everyone else to practice Heads Up poker loads!!! Now Heads Up tournaments aren't totally representative of the situtation you find yourself in at the end of an MTT/STT because you start with more play - your M (Stack as a proportion of Blinds) is significantly larger ..... however I had a phase of playing a lot of HU tourneys and felt that it significantly improved my HU game....... I think on Boss you can get individual games from about $3 (and the play is REALLY bad) - if you're comfortable playing for this (games can be quite quick so if you do lose, it can add up), I would suggest you should try a few.... How does the HU MTT work? It's basically a knock out cup competition - if you win your game you progress to the next round, if you lose you are out.... Next round starts when the previous round is complete - so there can be some quite long pauses between games. Prize money is awarded according to which round you reach..... It has probably been a Focus game something like 5 times, with PL'rs winning about 3 times!!! We have a great record when entering it....
