Playing more of this these days but have moved off cash into heads up tourneys. Am a real HiLo noob, have a basic gist of strategy, aware of starting hand importance.
I love the game but is hard to master. Seems to be a lot of crazies firing off with nut hi or not lo only, working out which or both proving tricky.
Was wondering how starting hand selection should be adjusted in heads up. Is opponent type important? Does big hi starting hand override need for good low when calling big pf bets? How important is position?

Position is of couse very important...in PL especially.

Good high is more important than a low as you only need to beat one oppo and fairly regularly there will be no low..you need to have the high sown up.

And yeah the player you play is as important as he is in HE..it's HU..there is noone else in there.

Thanks boldie.

Some opponents seem to be of the 'I am raising preflop and I am going to the river at great expense with or without you' variety, especially when the blinds deepen up, and I hate to get there and find he has two guns and I have one.

that's also because most people play PLO like they would HE Smiley

The above are just my opinions obviously..Floppy and the likes (better Omaha players than myself) might not agree with me.
