Eskimo 0 Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Every weekend i play poker with some friends. 2nd place gets his buy-in back and 1st place gets the rest. 8-12 people usually play.With this payout structure, 1st place is the really the only place that matters, and I usually outlast everyone until its heads-up. Those 5 mins of heads-up play is the only thing that matters. Those 2-3 hours that i've been outlasting people mean absolutely nothing.Any ideas on how I should play heads-up? like starting hands, etc... Link to post Share on other sites

Playing heads-up is playing your opponent not the cards if you have a much bigger stack down to a smallish stack, playing almost anything all-in with a very small stack.

Maybe you should look into not just outlasting the other guys in the tournament and play to win instead. Also, tell your friends that the setup for payouts in the tournaments sucks balls.

Absolute 0 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 If you average about five minutes heads-up, any advice given is futile anyway.. Link to post Share on other sites
