Hi,
You once said that you typically fight very aggressive players with tight conservative play waiting for extremely strong hand at a large table but when you are on a heads up play, you find such approach to be not practical at all. So what do you do when you are on a heads up play with an aggressive player? I hope it’s okay for me to ask this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rain
Rain,
With an aggressive player, you try and keep the pots small. Another thing to remember is that you can open up your hand ranges a lot in heads up play. Any two big cards, any ace, and any pair become strong hands. When you get such against an aggressive player, play back at them. Many times they will back down, but if they don’t, you will be ahead a majority of the time.
