Kate 1win Posted Wednesday at 05:37 PM Kate 1win Posted Wednesday at 05:37 PM Why Tightening Up Might Be the Wrong Instinct You're behind in chips in a heads-up final. Every instinct says play safe — but does heads-up poker actually punish that instinct instead of rewarding it? ⚡ Worth Thinking Through Folding doesn't buy you anything in heads-up — 2nd place is already locked in, so playing scared just burns stack without moving you closer to 1st Heads-up ranges are already wide — playing tighter than your opponent expects makes you predictable, not safe Every hand you fold, the blinds eat further into a stack that was already behind Do you tighten up when you're behind, or does that instinct usually work against you? 👇 Link to comment https://invision.prod.aws.1winforum.com/topic/1975-%E2%99%A3%EF%B8%8F-why-tightening-up-might-be-the-wrong-instinct/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
