Heads-Up SnG's
Well, I just discovered the gold mine that is, Heads-Up Sit N Go's. I just recently started playing on Bodog and after blowing a good amount on MTT entries, I found the HU SnG's and have made almost everything back. These people really just have no idea what they're doing, and if you know what you're doing, it's just a goldmine. The play from the $10 to $30 ones never seemed to change. Although I have a majority of my play down at the $10's.
I haven't kept track of my record, but the most I have ever lost was 2 in a row, and always for a silly reason. One of them the other guy went all-in on the first hand, and I had Ax and figured I might have a chance to catch a retard trying to be stupid. Well he had KJ and caught his King. Oh well. I was right about him being a retard though.
Other than that, the only trouble I have had is when the flop comes paired, I end up getting screwed on those a lot. It seems like anytime the flop is like 99K, and I have K5 in my hand, the other guy has 92. No joke, I have gotten screwed like that a few times. Either that, or I have a pocket pair, and figure my pair is good on a board like that, but the other guy would have either the trips or the other card on the board that happens to be higher than my pair. But I have made a mental note of it, and won't go broke on those too much anymore.
That's what's great about Heads Up tourney's. Your mistakes are highlighted and you can correct them much easier. You know whether you made the mistake or your opponent did. It's only 2 of you, and as much as a coin flip as it may seem like, if you know what you're doing, you can win your fair share. I have come up with a system to beat the types of players I come across on Bodog. *Mostly overagressive* and it works very well for me over there. Although if I ever moved limits, or even changed sites, things might change. It's hard to say if that's true, but that's fine.
I can play however I need to. Another reason HU is so great. You can change your game up at any point. Of course you can do this in other games, but it's hard to win unless you play a certain way in a certain game. But heads up it depends on your opponent and you adjust accordingly. Which allows the cream to rise to the top. If you only have one gear, you might not do so well playing heads up. But if you're well rounded and can read the play of your opponents, it might be right up your alley. So give it a shot. Just don't play me, plenty of fish for everyone.
