Tonight I played a total of 6 heads-up SNGs on Bodog, ranging from $5 to $30. I won 4 out of 6 and finished up $25 for the night. I’m going to concentrate on playing a lot of these for awhile as well as other SNGs and MTTs. I need a change from the limit games for a bit. Maybe I’ll be able to shake off the bad beats I kept running into at the 6-max games.

I felt good about my play tonight. One of the losses came when I had to push with KsJs againstac2c. After the turn I had an open-ended straight draw, a flush draw, and a K or J for the win. That’s 21 outs if I added right. Can’t ask for a much better draw.

I find that in these heads up battles I fare the best if I’m aggressive, because then I’m able to trap the other player at some point. They see you raising and raising, so when you don’t come at them, they won’t believe you when you come over the top of them. All they remember is the constant aggression and when you come out with the passive play it automatically means weakness. This doesn’t work against the aggressive opponents though, so I just try to use their constant aggression against them with a few bluff raises.

If I had some long term results I think I’d find out that I win much more often against passive players than aggressive ones.
