If you like your poker a little more on the fast-paced, aggressive style, heads-up just might be your game. While you can play virtually any form of poker heads-up, the distinction only really comes into play with "flop" games that have community cards and blinds, such as Texas Hold 'Em and Omaha. Read on to learn the adaptations of the basic rules for heads-up play, as well as how playing heads-up affects your strategy.
Things You Should Know
- Switch the position of the blinds in flop games so that the player on the button posts the small blind and acts first pre-flop.
- Avoid folding anything before the flop unless your opponent makes a big raise.
- Play aggressively with open raises when you're on the button.
- Read your opponent well and adjust your strategy to their style.
