Some more poker discussion. This is about a specific hand but think it can be generalised to a heads-up theme.
Basically last night in a home game tournie, I got heads up, but with about 1/4 to 1/3 of the chips, however, at this point, I'm still relatively confident of winning. I know the player goes all in a lot, especially heads up as he believes there is a huge luck factor involved in heads up so my game was to be patient (blinds werent eating either of us up plus i could buy sufficient number to keep me going). About 10 hands in I got KQs and raised double the big blind. He went all in. I thought for ages and finally folded, but I wondered if I should have called. I put him on Ace rag or low pair. Basically not far off a coin flip. I thought for ages but not trying to put him on a hand. What I was thinking was, given the blind structure, the way we've been playing so far, my ability, his ability, chip stack, etc, am I more than 50% (as at best I think I am a coin flip situation) confident I can outplay him on the remaining hands? Its just an idea cause I fold low pairs a lot to all ins, even if I think I am against only over cards, because I believe long term, that the players i play with, I can probably outplay and to me, i would rather put my chips in when I'm 70-30, rather than 50-50. Obviously if I was up against a pro, I woudl call these 50-50's because I dont think I can outplay them over the course of many hands.
Suppose what i'm saying is, if your heads up and the smaller of the two stacks, woudl you call a 50-50 if you believe your better than your opponent, or would you wait and see if you can outplay them?
Cheers
