Heads-up poker is often mentioned in conjunction with popular types of the game such as
Texas Holdem or Omaha. Unlike those variants it isn’t actually a type of poker game
itself. Instead it’s a way of playing them. Intrigued?
What is heads-up poker?
Heads-up
poker refers to any form of the game in which the hand is played out between just two
players. Head-to-head poker in other words. Virtually any type of poker can be played
heads-up.
Hands progress according to the rules of the specific type of poker you’re
playing heads-up, just as they would do were more players involved. However, there are
some heads-up adaptations in community card poker games such as Texas Holdem (see how
to play, below).
Games of poker can become heads up when just two players remain at the
table at the start of a hand, while heads-up tournaments are popular at online poker
sites.
With only one opponent to beat, competitors have a high chance of winning each
hand regardless of what they are dealt and tend to play aggressively as a result.
Similarly, with only one opponent needing to fall for your bluff, bluffing is more
likely to be successful.
How to play heads-up poker
As mentioned above, the rules for
many forms of poker don’t change when playing heads-up. If you’re new to poker check
out our how to play poker section for an introduction to the game and links to
how-to-play guides for Texas Holdem, Omaha and other types of poker.
There is one key
adaptation when it comes to playing community card poker games such as Texas Holdem and
Omaha heads up, which see the normal position of the small and big binds reversed.
In
poker games other than heads-up the small blind is posted by the player positioned
clockwise from the dealer (or nominal dealer in online poker). The big blind is posted
by the player to the left of the small blind.
The first round of betting begins with
the player who sits to the left of the player who posted the big blind and all
subsequent rounds of betting begin with the player who posted the small blind.
However
in heads-up play, the dealer posts the short blind and their opponent posts the big
blind.
Why is the position of the blinds reversed in heads-up poker? Basically to
ensure fairness.
If the position of the blinds wasn’t reversed in heads-up poker the
player who isn’t dealing would get to act first in the betting rounds both before and
after the flop because there are only two players involved. This would give them an
advantage.
