Title: What's your quickest heads up game? Post by: Indestructable on July 02, 2006, 08:50:23 PM Playing in a 4 player Heads up tournie on Pokerstars and 2nd hand I get
Kh Qd and end up all in versus Ahrt Tc Flop Kc 3h 9h And turn and river no good to him. Don't think he was too happy :D But I went on to win in a very good final, but I had to wait ages for the other game to finish first. Has anyone one a game first hand yet?

Title: Re: What's your quickest heads up game? Post by: Indestructable on July 02, 2006, 09:46:43 PM I will have to keep going all in first hand until I win one then. :D

Post by: Claw75 on July 02, 2006, 09:52:12 PM I will have to keep going all in first hand until I win one then. :D I think that was my last opponents game! All in first hand, I folded, he picked up my blind. I get AK next hand and make a small raise. He reraises all in with J7. He's got 40 chips left after that one and I get dealt 74 os - lovely!

Title: Re: What's your quickest heads up game? Post by: thetank on July 03, 2006, 10:41:43 PM Played a few hundred turbos on Tribecca (where the blinds go up every minute)
A fair few were over in one hand. Was loving them at first, I thought that a tournament not lasting more than 6 minutes was the way forward. :D Turns out I couldn't beat the rake. Title: Re: What's your quickest heads up game? Post by: Junior Senior on July 04, 2006, 11:01:16 AM Yup. 1 hand. - see this thread below where i tried to get a bit of debate going on HU russian roulette strategy.
