MTT Heads-Up Play Analysis

Postby Mack Wonder » Fri Jul 15, 2005 10:13 am

I am a long time lurker, first time poster here at BTP. I find this forum quite insightful and often refer to it in times of need. I find it much more friendly that the 2+2 forums.

This post is more of an attempt to gain assurance that I played a heads up situation the the way I should have. Last night I reached my first final table in a tournament on PP. The field started at 2000 entrants and through a lot of luck and a little skill I managed to get to heads up. Heads up lasted 5 hands and I ended up on the losing side. It was still a great victory for me personaly, but am I wondering if perhaps I should have played differently. I know that once you are in heads-up it is close to being a coin flip situation. I think that I played well, and that I just got beat by pure luck. Here are the hands:

Barring some sort of read, calling with ATo is fine there, as many people would move in with far worse cards, or a pocket pair which makes it just a coinflip. Good job getting second, dude.
Partake in my bollocks, bloody chav!
