Heads up review

[Knytestorme]

This is the trimmed data from the headsup I had yesterday at the end of a party $6 sng. I know I played it a bit too weak over all, especially when I got back up to around even but any opinions/advice are always welcome.

Thanks in advance

G'day mate, always good to see another Aussie on FTR! Couple of overall points:
- If you post HHs, number each hand, makes it much easier to comment on
- Don't play $5 tourneys at PP - you're getting raped by the 20% entry fee. Play at PS, UB or other sites where the rake is only 10%

Overall comments on your play:
- You're folding your SB too often. I generally raise about 80% of hands from the button. If they call, the BB generally won't bet into you on the flop unless they catch a piece of it, if they check it puts you in a good position to bet and take the pot down. If you're sure that opp will check his BB, you're getting 3:1 on the call and it is rare that any hand will be that much of an underdog preflop.
- You're completing the SB and checking the BB with above average hands too often. Hands like KT, KJ, Q9 are well above the average hand, raise with them, particularly from the button/SB.
- You're too passive on the flop. Raise or fold unless you're chasing a draw with good odds or slowplaying a monster. There were a few times you called with no pair or draw, this is leaking chips, don't do it.
- There were a couple of times that you pushed over an opp's preflop raise with marginal hands like J6/J8, this is risky. I would much rather open push from the SB rather than push over a raise, particularly with marginal/weak hands.

Specific comments:

- Bet this flop. Bottom two pair is a strong hand but your bottom pair is very liable to get counterfeited if the board pairs, as it did here. Once the T came on the turn I would have slowed right down and tried to get to showdown cheap.

- Raise to 600 preflop. If called, bet the flop after opp checks. If opp pushes over, fold - if they call, then check the turn.

- The river push isn't terrible as your opponent might think wtf and call, but I would have bet about 400-600 here. You can stand up to a call, no way opp has you beat with your backdoor flush. All you won here was 200 chips.

- Push preflop. Plus, you can't raise 25% of your stack preflop and fold to a minbet. As played, I would push over opp's flop minbet - this looks very weak.

- Push preflop, you can't leave yourself with 1000 behind, are you folding if opp pushes over? BTW this is how you should have played the Q9 hand postflop. Make a note on this guy that he minbets the flop after you have raised preflop but folds to a raise so generally this means he's trying to take the pot down cheaply.

- If you want to raise, push. Opp isn't folding for another 1600 chips given relative stack sizes. I wouldn't push over with J8o here, it just isn't strong enough and I don't think you have that much fold equity. I would wait for a better spot to push from the SB.

I would probably actually have folded this one. Why are you prepared to push over a raise by opp when you have J6o but you won't raise with Q9, KJ, KT when opp just completes the SB?

Obviously because I suck

As I said, even while playing I knew I was playing too weak and was just trying to get back to a decent stack to play back but then when I got back to even I pretty much donked off instead of turning the pressure around as was my plan.

Taking that into account though, can deifnatly see the points about coming back with stronger than average hands as need be and loosening up as it gets more shorthanded is still one of my biggest weaknesses in HU and FT situations for mtt's and SnG's so it's always good to see that shown up over and again in the one match.

The thing is when you're heads up, the worst you can finish is 2nd so you really need to open up and put pressure on your opponent. Sure, sometimes they'll wake up with a big hand and knock you out but by playing passively when you're shortstacked you pretty much guarantee you'll finish 2nd.

Otherwise, don't take my feedback too hard, sorry to be harsh!

When you're playing heads up you just have to be brutal. He pushed you off the pot way too many times with nothing. I think you need to make some big preflop raises (ie to 1000) and then push allin on the flop. 80%of the time he doesn't have anything and he is just stealing the pot. The thing is, I'm not really used to this, because the blinds are very small and the stacks are very big. I'm used to 5000 vs 5000 chip stacks and blinds of 250/500 or 500/1000. That's much, much bigger than what you're playing - so my advice probably isn't that useful. But be aggresive in 1 on 1.
