Hi - I don't believe raising is the total key. It is when the flop comes out and is also good to bluff that way too. Trapping is the key in my opinion. Get that nut hand and slow play it until your opponent thinks you have nothing and goes all in - then call as fast as you can. Flip the cards and either you win all his chips or get most of his chips.

Raising is teh key, raise everything. Dont slow play either because in heads up play you always get introuble.

This is something i have a REALLY hard time with also. It seems like everyone always manages to bluff me headsup whereas i can spot it a mile away in normal play. I keep getting told that it takes practice to hone this skill, and i'm sure it does. but surely someone has something to add to this thread to help a poor ol newbie headsup player

You have to learn to feel your opponent out. Don't go into the game with your head between your legs, but don't run in playing crap hands either. It's hard to explain, but expect to lose before you win.

Hi - I'm not bragging, but heads-up or 3 - 4 person play is what I do best. Getting to the final table from the first table in an 18 person SNG is harder than winning the whole thing for me. LOL
When I'm heads-up, I don't play their game . . . I play mine. If I don't like my cards, I'll fold and give them the blinds and wait for a hand I want to play. Don't let them draw you into anything you don't want to play.
Also, even with a small stack - going all in may get you even. You'll even notice they won't go all in -- they guard those chips like gold. But only go all in when your hand warrants it. Also, come out betting big if you have a good hand. They will fold usually. Not always, but usually. Like others have said - it does depend, but I suggest you play your game, not theirs. Then if you do lose - you've played your game and should feel okay about it.

It all depends on how much chips you have, if you have a decent lead, any two face cards are all in worthy, if your down by a lot, 2 face cards are again all in worthy, but if it's close or semi close play the same hands you'd play with 10 people.

I need some tips for playing heads up. Please donīt just say: "be aggressive". I need tips like when going all in preflop, how much should i bluff, when i should slowplay, etc.
I know that all depends on the situation, but there are always some general ideas that i can adapt to my game.
