Several years ago I was playing in a heads up no limit hold 'em tournament, that I orchestrated. Of everyone playing, I was the only one with any experience playing heads-up. It plays quite differently than a 6, 9, or even 4 player table.
It was the 1st round, my opponent was really weak. I knew his playing style quite well because I had played many times with him shorthanded and full table. My stack was twice the size of his and I was in position to wipe him out. He was in on a hand that I had him crushed on. He would have called all-in had I pushed, but we were only a few hands in and I wanted to play a bit.
The next 3 hands in a row I lost, he had better cards. My cockiness got the better of me.
Never underestimate what can happen when there are uncontrollable variables. Trump has already beat all of the odds time and time again. Brushing him off as another pesky Sanders is going to land Clinton in a heap of trouble.
