Match Play BJT Format with NCAA-Style brackets.

In the hands prior to the final hand if you act first you can use Ken's rule of 2, 4, 5 when you're behind. This becomes the rule of 2 if blackjacks pay 2:1. If you're ahead in this situation you can bet the same as your approximation (guess) of what the opponent will do.

If you don't know what he'll do you can bet about half your lead. This prevents your opponent from taking the low, keeps half your lead intact if he takes, the low, and forces him to take a relatively high risk if he wants to take the high. On the second-last hand in this situation you can hold back your opponent's bankroll, plus minimum bet, plus a chip.
Great advice, Monkey!
 
tHANKS FOR the suggestions, guys! Not sure what I'll do as far as betting, but maybe I'll size my opponent up at first and if i see she's betting big then i'll just bet the opposite and hope she loses.... but most likely she'll be conservative so right away should I start the progression or only later on the round?
Where's your tournament?
