Sample Heads-Up Session (Long)

Posted Thu Nov 17, 2005 5:54 pm GMT by xDiamond_CutteRx
Hey guys, I felt that I played this pretty well, one of my best heads-up sessions, but I'd like to know if there are any hands you might have played a little differently. I'd really appreciate any insights, as I still believe heads-up play is one of the weaker components of my game.

On hand number 126 I probably would have checked the turn and folded to a raise. Since he smooth called your bet on the flop he thinks he has something worthwhile. All you really have is a gutshot straight draw (Not an open ended straight draw.) It's not a huge difference but it would have saved you some chips.

Intersting. You couldn't hit a flop to save your life but you still managed to pull it out. Nice job.

Good as gold, I'm with Soup_Dog on 126 (yes, it stuck out while I read the histories) though.

I thought 126 was interesting too.. Other than that it looks like winning play. I would say that by hand 131 you are setting yourself up to be in control for the rest of the match which is a very good place to be. Nice game and congrads!!

gotta say i enjoyed reading this ... you took control and were playing aggressively ... lots of overbet pots and things of that nature, i think you had this guy scared/tilting a bit, like in hand 134 where you doubled him up with your AJ vs. 83

hand 129 was a great one too, 2nd ace on the river actually helped you out a lot there
