ideal situation hu gone wrong - help me, I'm ashamed
Hi there,
I'm new to the SNG games. Started in February this year playing poker, cashgames.
Recently I made the transition to the SNG and now I play 1.20 dollar SNG's on Full Tilt.
I get "in the money" almost 50% of the time. Of those, I win about 1 in 3.
I need help on my heads-up game! This, I feel I never should have lost!!!
This bighand24 fella was a solid player but apt to make mistakes considering positional play. When the game got shorthanded, he raised all his aces preflop.
Also, in the later stage I saw him go all in twice with ace and mediocre kicker.
The problem is: at a certain point I was 11.000 up on him, and I still lost! He started shoving practically all his hands all in... and I got just rotten hands. Should I have called him there with just any two cards? In retrospect I think yes, but at the table... You know, when you call this with junk (J4o, K2o, Q9o,.....) you´ll let him double up too easy.... Twice and all is level again and I´ll be kicking and screaming that I let him back in the match. But now I folded so much he got back in too.
I really don´t know what to do there...
Ok, the last hand was stupid, I tried to do something fancy and represent the 8...
But by then I was sick of it.
Ok, by this time we had played 50 hands or so hu.
