Adjusting for Heads-Up Play

When you're heads-up, hand values change from what they were pre-flop. Depending on how aggressive your opponent is playing, it may be +profitable to get any ace all in pre-flop.

Think of it this way: if your hand is decent when the game is short-handed, then it's a monster heads-up. Pocket pairs are very robust. Hands are usually won with just one pair at showdown, so if you are dealt one before the flop then you're already ahead of the game.

I can not guarantee that you will win for sure all the time but following this simple steps for each stage of a sit-and-go has improved my game a lot
