Default What happens when..

Hiya! I need some advice! I've got a lot better since I started playing poker on here compared with 6 months ago, so I'm happy about that, what I don't get is what the sort of game play is when you get down to 2 players in a tourney? I've only ever managed to come 2nd place cuz of this problem!! So, a very big problem!! I sort of panic cuz the other person just seems to be confident and put large amounts of money in and they must be getting some awful hands like I am! So, is it about luck or playing your face?
Any advice off anyone would be greatly appreicative!!!
Thanks
Kate

You have to open your game up and be aggressive it's a different style of play that most are not use to. You have to go with hands you would fold if your use to playing a tight game. Like hman said be selective but be aggressive. There is a heads up table where you would sign up for touraments. You may want to try that a couple of times to get use to that style of play.

Kate, I just played in the 20k tourney with you, and you seem to have a fairly solid game on. In heads up play, and you are in the small blind, try raising instead of calling if you have a decent pocket. It is guaranteed the other player will CHECK if you merely call the BB, however, if you raise chances are they may fold and you will have the pot. If you have the smaller chipstack, you will want to be a bit more cautious. But either way, you have to be strong and smart. If your pocket cards are really strong, semi-slow play your hand to try to draw out as many chips as you can, but do not wait so long as to allow the other player to develop a better hand. When properly played, very few hands should be seen through to the river, until the final all in. Good luck!

P.S. the name fits you well
