 |

Hi guys, reallly need your help on heads up play, I would like some recommendation on how to play when ahed, when behind in chips, would like to know if you play a lot of heads up tournament and if so, what is the % winning rate you need to get to the next level... What is the approximate bankroll you need... What are the sites you recommend to play heads up (with worse player off course...)
Have also some specific things to ask about some situations...
I have 2350 and my opponent has only 650 left, blinds are 50-100, so he has to make a move soon... I'm on BB he push all in and I'm looking to KJ unsuited... Do you call?
You have AK, first hand of the heads up and the other guy push all in preflop, what you do?
you are approx. equal in chips (1500 each), the blinds are high like 60-120 and for sure there is a lot of blind stealing preflop... guy push all in and you are looking to a pp, With wich pp you call? any? My question was originnally for 10-10, but let's put it more general...
Does J-Q suited deserve a big raise call (let,s say 3 or 4 times BB when Blinds are high enough to affect the stack and there are lot of blind stealing??)
Assuming you start with 1500 each, what is the point to push all in no matter your hand in terms of BB?
THANKS to every poeple who will take the time to answer my questions.
Also, any good recommendations would be a pleasure... |

I don't play HU SNGs themselves but I get in a lot of HU situations in SNGs 
Either ahead or behind, be patient, the difference in time is worth the extra money you will make. In my game, I like to get the blinds high as possible because I like to get in to pushing matches with the opponent because you can get them to fold to a ton of your pushes and you steal a ton of blinds.
1) You fold, you don't double him up through his pushes, you turn around and push with a huge range of hands the next hand, Q7+. In that situation, just push about every one of your SBs.
2) Call
3) 99 or better is +EV against a tight but aggressive pushing range, but you can call with 66-88 depending on the opponent.
4) Yes, but it depends on the opponent, you can call too, but if the blinds are high you should probably be pushing.
5) Pushing any2 is +EV even at 120/240, but probably around 150/300 is the best time to push any2. That doesn't mean calling all ins, that means pushing if your first to act pre-flop. |

You really have to have a feel to make the kj call, but the ak is a call you will make every time unless the guy folds 30 hands in a row waiting for aa or kk but about 99% of the time your ak will be at worst a race and i would guess 80% of the time in heads up you will have the best hand because as you need to play looser alot of people are willing to put all there chips in with a9 or a10 heads up.  |
