Poker pearl #76

Andrew Neeme writes for Pokeratti. He says:
It’s so fun playing a heads-up tournament. You get to play every hand… what more needs to be said?
Then he goes on to say:
I’ve played more heads-up PLO hands online than any of my friends by far, and had pretty good results. You start out making small jabs to get your oppenent to reveal him or herself. Heads-up play forces your opponent’s poker soul to be on display, and the trick is to simply adjust accordingly vs. that player type.
He doesn't come out and say it, but the implication is clear. Playing heads-up, you have to shift gears. Don't let the villain get a read on how you play.
