Lost in a Heads Up
Hello,
The other night I was in a 10 man tournament. Later I was in heads up and was the chip leader. My opponent then was a kind of player who always seems to play and bet every hand. Later he became the chip leader as he won over most of my blinds as I wasn’t getting my cards then. Because of what happened, I went all in with Jh9h and he called me with A4 off suit. In the end, with ace high, he won. Well, I know I should have played differently but I don’t know how. Any thoughts?
Many thanks,
Austin
Austin,
Loosen up your hand requirements. Any hand with an ace, two big cards, and any pair is a potential raising hand. Otherwise, try and see a lot of flops for the blinds and push your hands when you flop strong.
