bring the advice

i have no clue how to play this game shorthanded/heads up. i like to think i'm smarter than the average bear, and i'm able to come up with some logical strategy.... but are there any tips/rules that i should keep in mind?

It's really not a very good shorthanded game.

tell me about it... but i often watch keller and some other high rollers play heads up o8 on UB alot... just wondering if there are any particular strategic points.

My advice would be to keep watching the "highrollers" and try to learn something from them. I haven't seen Keller on in a while so there haven't been many heads up o8 games going.

i have seen keller making 20k runs in there consistently as of late.

i do learn a good bit from watching them, but for the most part, its just raw agression. also, i was hoping for some pot limit info.... shorthanded fixed limit is a bit more manageable.

but thanks for the reply.

Short handed O8 is just bet, bet, bet, bet, bet, bet and hope you don't run into a scooping hand.

100% right, shorthanded the house is the only winner. :wink:

Short handed O8 is not for the weak of stomach or for the light of bankroll.

that didnt really resemble a crazy short handed O-8 hand to me.

check out the 30/60 O8 game on stars if you see a short-handed table
