Poker Strategy: Heads Up
Learn how to battle and beat your opponents, mano y mano.
In heads-up poker, you really have to get in there and mix it up. Waiting around for the nuts, like you can do in full-ring poker, will just mean your opponent will steal from you mercilessly until your stack dwindles down to nothing. You’ll have to learn how to adjust to your rival’s tactics quickly while being comfortable with pushing very thin edges.

With the aid of the below articles, you can firm up your heads-up poker strategy so that you can prevail against all types of opponents: fish, nits, LAGs and other winning regs. Whether you play cash games or HUSNGs, you’ll find the tips we inform you of to be a helpful stepping stone on your route to heads-up poker dominance.
