Anyone help? I'm going to Barcalona next week to play in a heads up tourney but its not a game I play often. Anyone got any tips? Or knows any good sites that would point me in the rite direction? Any help would be appriecated.

Re: Heads up poker After a barren spell i've started to play HU a lot recently with excellent results up to $5 with streaks of 5 and over numerous times so i regard myself quite good at the game. It's hard to pin-point exact strategies i use in a game as mainly i go on gut instinct and how the opposition is playing rather then have a clear defined plan. However, i like to keep it tight, do not be afraid to fold hands or go behind in a game as there's plenty of opportunity to come back. If you can get a good read on your opponent i.e. set plays they make then you're in a great position. For example tonight in a hand we limped to the flop, i put in a minimum raise with nothing, they called, again i minimum raise with nothing on the turn they call again, on the river i check, they bet 5 times the blind and i had nothing but was curious to see what they had so i called and they had the second pair and they see i have nothing. The very next hand i hit top pair on the flop with a high kicker, but minimum bet the flop again just like the hand before and they call, the turn is a rag, i minimum bet again, called again but on the river i push them all in with my top pair after my minimum raises just as the hand before where i had nothing they must have thought i was bluffing so called, they had one of the bottom pairs and i won the HU. Now that's one way to work a situation but of course it all depends on the player your up against. Aggressive players are great to play against as one time you will hit the nuts and clear them out. Overall though i'd say go with your gut on the situations that arise and you'll be ok. I play on the ipoker server, Titan/Paddypower as Nade27/27Nade so give me a shout if you want a few HU on there! :ok GL with the tourn :hope And BTW don't listen to anything that Crouch Potato geezer has to say about HU he just got lucky after i tired out yesterday :( (Was 3-0 up v him, lost 5-3!) :rollin
