Playing Some Heads Up 2-7 NL

0

Many people are unfamiliar with this game but it has alot of the same principles of NLHE, you should have balanced ranges, bluff frequently, and the blind structure HU is the exact same (on Stars, FTP has antes). I played alot of hands at 2/4 (usually i don't delve this low but I feel my edge is so huge its hard to say no) against someone today and he played so tight I started opening 100% of buttons against him, and here is what it looks like when your opponent doesn't play any hands. I took out our names, but every time the line is green, I won the hand, every time its black he won, and there were like 3 other pages that looked just like that.

He actually held his own for a bit, doubling up 3 times in coinflip type situations, twice when I had a monster draw and once when he had a draw. But in between all the flips I took all the $6 pots and accumulated essentially a freeroll.
Other than that I played some 10/20 and 15/30 10 game mix on FTP today against some regulars and managed to run good. All in all I am feeling good about most of my mix games and can't wait to test my skills at [URL="http://www.commercecasino.com/tournamentDetails.aspx?tournamentId=3"]LAPC [/URL]in February.
