Playing heads up as a newbie1

Hi Tikay.
I hate heads up, so neeed your advice.
Do I call or raise every hand  or is it okay to fold hands you do not like.
Is there a disadvantage if you fold too many hands?
Do you shove on all playable hands?

Hi Wynne,

By far the best advice I can think of here is to read Harrington's chapter on heads up play (It's in his 2nd book). Honestly, it's only a few pages, it's an enjoyable read, and it will probably improve your results by far, it did mine anyway.

Thanks guys for your advice, I am waiting for Sir Tikay Kendall and his wisdom to spill out !

I'm not TK, but,

Aggression, aggression, aggression.

Raise on the SB EVERY time.
CB EVERY time.
Unless it's a ridiculously loose player, then just wait for the hand, it will come.
Never go all-in unless you're very strong or blinds are huge.
Oh yeah, and be lucky. That's quite important too.

I love heads-up.

DOHHHHHHH

Hi wynne Im starting a weekend of only heads up sit n gos and mtts today.

Its something Ive wanted to have a serious go at for months now, and as I cant trust myself on cash tables atm, I decided it might be a good way of "taking a break" from the usual grind.

If you just search "heads up strategy" on google you'll get loads of stuff back.
