Tips for Poker (Heads Up)

  • Play tight early - fold weak hands to preserve chips

  • Watch opponent betting patterns to identify bluffs
  • Position matters - act based on whether you are first or second to bet
  • Adjust aggression based on your chip stack relative to opponent

What worked and what did not

Pros

  • Bluffing adds decisions beyond card strength.
