10 Heads Up (1 on 1) Poker Tournament Tips

1. When you are down to 4 players in the tournament, you should be observing the other 3 as closely as possible, so when you get to heads up (1 to 1), you have a few hints about how they play.

2. Don't be afraid to preflop raise without face cards or high pocket pairs. Like this.

3. Bluff often, but bluff well....

4. Make them think you are bluffing, when you are not. Like this.

5. Never raise big after the flop, turn, then only check after the river. Unless you have one of the best possible hands.

6. If they let you call all the time when you are small blind, make them pay for it when the blinds increase.

7. If they call all the time when you are big blind, make them pay for it with occasional big reraises.

8. If they don't go all in often, and they decide to go all in preflop...Fold.

9. If they are winning and they taunt you, just 'lol' or don't say anything. They are trying to get you to make an emotional call. If you are about to win, unleash as much revenge taunts as your fingers can type before he leaves. He will read them.

10. Play loose. You already have 2nd place, and if you play tight, they will know when you have a good hand.

..oh, and if Strike Strategy reraises you...Fold.


Good luck!!
