Many #poker players regard heads-up play as the purest form of the game. You are locked in a duel of wits with a single opponent, constantly trying to outmaneuver them and countering their tactical adjustments. The one-on-one nature also means your skill edge is magnified leading to high win-rates.

 

This podcast episode gives a comprehensive overview of all the skills required to succeed in heads-up play. In addition to strategic and tactical considerations, coach w34z3l also explores soft skills, including attracting weaker players to your table.
