Heads Up

[samcheeseman]

Tried my hand (no pun intended ) at a heads-up game during a period of boredom last night. 0.50/1.00 NL. I managed to double my money against a player who was obviously doing well for himself, sitting with $200 at a $50 max buy-in table.

Heads-Up is great fun, and I think I'm going to try to get into it a bit more. You're always involved in a hand... And it's a satisfying feeling to clear someone of their cash.

But I'm having major trouble finding good strategy articles, books or forum posts on heads-up play that isn't based around the final stages of tournaments? If anyone has a link, please post.

There must be some serious HU experts here. If they'd be willing to lay down their expertise, I'm sure many of us would find it hella useful considering the complete lack of information available.

Cheers

Unless you can quickly rape your opponent in a ring HU match, the rake will do a dirty one on you. That is unless you are playing a much higher stake.

I play a bunch of SnG HU matches for fun, but in the few 50NL matches I've played, after 1/2 hour there was $10 in rake taken.

HU is mostly metagame.

heads up is basically raising in position, folding out of position, and waiting for a monster (+) vs monster (-) situation to get all your chips in on

Metagame?
