As usual with these invite tournaments, I expect it to mostly be high rollers with minimal knowlege of correct tournament strategy, although I'd say 10% of participants are smart enough to figure it out, and another 5% have read Wong/Smith/etc. On the other hand, with only one player to worry about, it seems easier to bet properly and not have to worry about some lucky guy catching a BJ when 3 people go all in on the 3rd hand.Īny general thoughts on strategy differences for playing in a heads up tournament? Generally they work as a table of 6, but you are only playing one person at the table - 3 mini-games going on. But here you'll have more rounds, so need the dealer to be 'hot' more times. So your ability to get a free big lead as BR1 depends largely on dealer.
I played one last year but didn't make the head-to-head portion (top 64 after starting with 150-200).Īny thoughts on strategy or whether understanding tournament strategy is more/less of an advantage versus a regular tournament? It seems to me that when you play regular tournaments there are always plenty of people betting big early - and either they all hit or none of them hit. I am playing in a head-to-head invite tournament in March (they have become very popular for invite tournaments in Vegas during March Madness).
