Heads up on going thread??

eggie

Was just thinking, if there is any merit or interest in it, that maybe people from boards could pick or draw an opponent and play regular heads up games against each other. They could post hands, keep track of wins/losses and post results, hands, strategy, etc on a new sticky thread for heads up only.

Boards obviously covers full ring, 6 handed, strategy, etc. but i think this could develop players thinking and improve there performance especially with regards to heads up. High stakes aren't necessary of course, everyone within their own limits.

Think it might add an extra dimension to the forum?

Anyone agree?

Mr.Plough

anyone fancy a quick first to 3 in heads up sit n gos on ipoker before i head out?

Flushdraw

How about we set up a boards headsup league then. We could have maybe 3 divisions of 16 players where everyone plays each other once and then have some sort of promotion and relegation thing.

Might be hard to put a time on when games have to be played by, but players could just play each other whenever they feel like it. So some players could play 10 games in a week where others might only play 1. Maybe the league could last 10-12 weeks.

Everyone could put 50 quid or so in and top 2 get paid when the league is finished. It would be interesting to see if Cooker3 was just lucky to beat me or if he can sustain his legend killier status

Interesting idea, most low limit heads up tables on various sites have only one table so its pretty adverse to meeting the player you want to play time wise as the site has good liquidity.

maybe shortstack could set up a few heads up tables on GJP with a password or something along those lines for forum posters.

its not hard at all if you are on the same skin, the heads up skin games fill up very very slowly

does anyone want to play one of the hu games with no blind increases on stars?

The_Chopper

Anyone fancy a game on IPoker? PM me.

Beat eggie 1-0 earlier.

Will we post notes and strategies on HU?

shoutman

Ended up coming back from 2 down to win 3-2 against bandana boys, I got some great flops to win the last one.

eggie

anyone around for HU on FTP or stars?

eggie

I honestly think that is a great idea to develop players ability to play the player rather than the table or the cards, especially when deep in tournaments and final tables especially. It makes a huge difference to a persons game when u can limp push with rags against a known stealer and he finds a fold. ie. playing the player

Edit: table dynamics obviously being a factor

Go for it. I fwe dont make an effort to kick start this we cant expect others to follow blind.

Whats your strategy playing heads up when you sit to start a game?

RoundTower

I would be happy to play anyone HU in PLO, iPoker suits best but other sites are fine.

Major Ev- playing you in any form of heads up, I could be on for it just for the sake of a tough game though, full-tilt suits me best for it.

shoutman

Anyone up for a few HU matchs tonight, $20 or less is good for me, can play on most sites.

phantom_lord

I've space for another table if anyone wants a gmae on stars

In response to the game we had. Few things i noticed.
- you'd call 3 bets (flop, turn, river) with any pair even bottom pair,
- you'd only 3 bet if you had a monster even with small blinds
- you were very passive
- you seemed to want to gamble alot

Now this might not be up at all, but they were a few things from our game

What do people think are good HU strategy?

Keep pots small or inflate them etc etc?

Mr.Plough

anyone fancy some hu on gjp while im online?

tenner or so suits me
