A Conservative Start to Heads Up

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Steve Karp and Travis Johnson seem to be feeling each other out in the starting stages of heads-up play. Neither man has been willing to put a lot of chips in the middle, and they're trading a lot of small pots.

In one recent hand, Johnson raised to 275 from big blind and Karp called. The pair then checked down the board of {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{7-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

.

When the hands opened, Karp showed {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

for a pair while Johnson showed {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}
