A Conservative Start to Heads Up

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}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}.

When the hands opened, Karp showed {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a pair while Johnson showed {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.
