It might just be me but in heads up matches, i am trying to confuse the opponent a little bit more than in a mtt. i almost never limp and it does not matter what my cards are at the moment, i will bet with 72o like its AA. i keep my bet sizing around 3-4bb with any hand i think i can win pre, any other hand i bet 2bb just to make the other guy make the decision and to add some value to the pot. the trick is to fold just enough to keep the other guy believing my hands r better than his.

Alot depends on chips stack sizes, if im short im pushing, if were same im raising 3-4x times blind depends if ive been agressive too. Nothing wrong with pushing, Im rarely limping unless hes been real aggressive i might try to trap.

1 thing for sure always raise with those aa hu, dont limp and allow your opponent to beat you with a 98 offsuit...never limp with aa...gl

Symple: AA is an easy all innnnnnnnnn

Bet them out for sure -how depends on what kind of player ur facing -and how the hu action has been b4 ur dealt aces -some players would call if u pushed others would fold -getting the most value outa of them is key

For me the important thing, is what kind of player the other guy is... if he is super aggressive I limp in and hope he trys to run me off. Just call any bet and see if he'll try again,,, Then maybe drop the hammer on him... like I said, this is how I would play the guy.. just my thoughts.

I'm usually raise 3X or fold in Heads Up games, so a limp would probably send up a caution flare more than a raise. I would keep my bets consistant so your opponent has no idea what you've got. If he reraises, well, I'm pushing now. Aggression is almost the best way to play Heads Up games, keep your opponent on the defence at all times.

Slow play becouse if you push to much and the other player has nothing they will fold when you push , so i would slow play him/her

I like to raise the same for every hand. And 3 bet the same for every hand. So I raise 2.5 to 3x as stated and jam if reraised depending on stack size......I mean if u are heads up at a final table a jam would be a huge over bet then u should 4 bet it.......A lot of time u will get a call on the 4 bet as compared to the jam. All bets I'd make around 2.5x too 3x.

In my opinion,which may not count for much,if it is early in the turny,h-u,i will raise 5x the b-b,if called,i will check the flop,see what the opponent is up to.if he comes out blastin,i will r-r him.if he raises back,i will most the time fold a-a.you really have to be wary of those small sets,they will destroy a-a.and you will run into them alot.

Do you normally raise 5x though heads up? If your normal raise is 5x that is cool....but if not I don't like the play........I like keeping the bets the same size. And heads up tourney u just gotta get it in on most flops......Heads up you will run into your opponent stacking off on top pair more often then a set in my opinion. Though I have folded AA it is a rare thing to do heads up and a -ev play most of the time in my opinion.

I would also like to add I took his question to mean playing straight heads up. Not what if I get heads up. If somebody limps around to u and your in the bb or sb and u end up heads up by them flatting your raise then yeah there is a lot better chance they have a small pair and sucked out a set. In a straight heads up game though I just think u gotta get it in most flops

My two cents anyway . . . . for starters, you want to play them like any other hand. From the button you should open with a raise, from the BB you should raise or reraise. It's a strong pair, and only a strong pair, so after the flop you will need to guage your opponent well.

Mainly I don't like not betting, checking and hoping for your opponent to bet into you so you can raise is only good if you are playing an aggressive player you can count on betting into you. And if you are up against such a player, he is just as likely to raise a bet from you as he is to allow you to check raise him.

In a heads up game, I open for a min bet on the button with 90% of hands, and I would shove over any 3-bet preflop.

I play AA just like I would play it at MTT's. If you change your way of playing AA you will have a better chance of losing to some trash hand heads up. You need to stick to an aggressive betting pre-flop or your odds of getting burned will increase if you start letting your opponent see more cards heads-up.

I dont usually play what cards I have, more the opponent and treat ATC as AA, in hu its more the luck of the board that gets the wins for you :) and by playing aggressively

HU u should have set this play up by playin aggress with rags before u get the monster thus setting the trap.... raise raise raise

It deppends on what kind of players im dealing with, and also my/his stack situation...if the other player is kind of easy fold one i will slow play him a little...but if he's a call/agressive player it will be the greatest pleasure to push All-in pre-flop..........;)

I think it should be done every time considerably raises pre-flop to avoid surprises.

yes you are right here, however dont try to be to obvious1 try to play at the same way as you play all other cards.

I don't like getting beat with AA so i make a big bet 3/4 X the bb and hope for the best in hoping i get a RR and then i go all in

Its definately a raise in either position,& like some have said,if you get re-raised.its a shove;Theres no way you can be behind pre-flop,& if you lose you were simply unlucky

i agree with you here. but it also depends on my opponents style of play. if hes playing aggressive im either gonna limp n reraise his raise or limp call see a flop n let him bet before i raise

Just play them loose otherwise u might get him to fold, and that's what u don't whant.

Honestly my first thought when I have AA is what can I do to get this hand all in pre. The obvious answer is to shove. I shove whenever I am 20% or more confident I will get a call, if my opponent is on tilt, if ive been too aggro, if i just bluffed and showed, or if I have been beating him hand after hand. I think shoving is never the wrong move because if they call pre you're always +EV and AA is hard to play post flop. But the unobvious answer is to enduce them to shove into you, make some type of dolty bet that you believe will enduce a reraise. Basically get as much in as possible but make yourself look as weak as possible by doing this. A couple tricks for this are adding 150 to the end of ur raise or 225 etc. maybe bet 3240 if BB is 1500. I do whatever I can do get it all in pre though, and shoving is never wrong IMO. Dont worry about not getting huge pots by shoving pre, but you can easily lose big pots post flop when it becomes hard to fold top pair top kicker-type hands.
