What is heads-up poker?
Heads-up poker refers to any form of the game in which the hand is played out between πͺ just two players. Head-to-head poker in other words. Virtually any type of poker can be played heads-up.
Hands progress according to πͺ the rules of the specific type of poker youβre playing heads-up, just as they would do were more players involved. πͺ However, there are some heads-up adaptations in community card poker games such as Texas Holdem (see how to play, below).
Games πͺ of poker can become heads up when just two players remain at the table at the start of a hand, πͺ while heads-up tournaments are popular at online poker sites.
With only one opponent to beat, competitors have a high chance of πͺ winning each hand regardless of what they are dealt and tend to play aggressively as a result. Similarly, with only πͺ one opponent needing to fall for your bluff, bluffing is more likely to be successful.
