Playing HU live...any tips?

[gatso]

Even if you're a 30% dog it's still probably better than you would be long term so you should be happy with it.

lol, nice rub

The structure is 7500 chips, 15 min blinds starting at 25/50, best of 3.then round 2, 15k chips etc. Doesnt sound very fast.

I am expecting to be bullied (men always try to lol), so wondered if it would be best to do what has been said and wait for big hands, let my opponent bet into me and get chips that way, throwing in the occasional 3 bet bluff, or get involved in a lot of pots and hope to get lucky. Advice here says sit tight and gamble when blinds are big, yes?

Ironside is right, I am not exactly known for my aggression

if you're not confident and dont enjoy it (youve never played it before) why are you even playing.

Wouldnt suggest 4b shoving Ax when more than 35bbs deep.

I actually disgree with Longy. If your game plan going into a deepstacked HU event is get short and try to run good then you will be a huge huge dog to go deep in the tournament and a ridichuge dog to win because the players who arent content to wait for the blinds to get big will have decimated ur stack.

dont do anything that you are not comfortable with, just play your normal game

I didnt say I wont enjoy it, I love playing live poker just dont get to play as much as I would like which obviously means I am not as experienced as some.

So how would you play pleno?

One thing that has occured to me is that in general there isnt that many HU tournaments so I think I wont be the only one who hasnt played this kind of game before.

Ohh and the reason I am playing tbh is because its free

pretty much this - try not to stress out overthinking it, enjoy, and get lucky

Just be natural and enjoy yourself

[GreekStein]

try and project confidence, even if you're not.

Don't talk to your opponent.

[pleno1]

wear a revealling top, 3b >30% and smile when you do it.
