Anyone care to give me some tips...I am currently playing a heads up matches tourney on Pokerstars...I just made it to the last 8 players yet im not there how i want..In rd1 i raised preflop and got pushed all in..and i called with queens and they held up verse Big slick..Ironically..the identical thing happened in rd2...Then in rd3-- we had a see saw battle...eventually i picked up kq and i raised 2 bb..he pushed all in..which he had done lots to my raises..and to be honest i put him on a bluff this time..but i read him wrong and hr turned AQ making me a huge underdog..But when a king hit the flop i advanced..........Then just then in Round 4...I raised 3 BB with AK..very first hand........i get pushed all in ON FIRST HAND........i think about and call...he turns over AQ making me a huge fav and my hand holds up.....
Down to last 8 now and got a bit of a wait but to be truthful its not exactly how i wanted to get here..with premium all ins...just doesnt seem right..Is there some technic to winning in Heads up Matches..Or is it just about making the most of your great hMake the best off your premiums is very key, but you gotta be very tenacious also because you won't get very many premiums especially when someone else has a premium also. Don't give up much even if you have junk. You should be playing just about any two without a deuce or a trey in it. Preflop, you should be raising any face card and any pair and any suited connector 45 and above. On the flop, middle pair is very strong, top pair is near nuts and bottom pair isn't too shabby either. If you have a draw, bet it(but not all-in). You should be super-agressive, but be careful of getting yourself trapped.
Stay offensive and make your opponent react to your actions, not you reacting to your opponent. Bbe careful of being trapped, but not so careful as to constantly give up.
