Learning how to play heads-up poker is crucial to increasing your win rate drastically. It is where the most money is won or lost in a tournament and it can be extremely profitable with huge edges available!

– Postflop Tips To Gain An Edge
– How To Keep A Winning Mindset In Heads-Up Poker
When you are playing heads-up, you have to play a ton of hands, especially if you are in a tournament where there is a big blind ante in play. If you are just trying to wait for a good hand to try and stack your opponent then you are going to get run over preflop.
You don’t have to be perfect, focus on good fundamentals:
– Only raise or fold from the BTN
– 3-bet With A Linear Range
– Call 3-bets Often In Position
The 3 biggest mistakes that I see poker players make when playing heads up are:
1. Playing WAY too tight preflop!
2. Continuation betting too OFTEN!
3. Not Check-Raising ENOUGH!

What do YOU think is YOUR biggest leak when playing heads-up? 🤔
Been finishing in the $ 80% of the time on BetOnline nightly big tournament and Sun big tournament. However I have 2 top 4 finishes , same w 5 n6 but can never get in the top 3 or win the tournament. Payoff difference between 4 n 1 is 3k and 21k vs 6k in the big one. What could I be doing wrong? Also I play w BB as my indicator instead of chips. Should I be rfi 2.0x or 3x or? I usually rfi 2.2x. Thanks for your input. It’s bc of your channel I’ve improved so much and honestly if I had not lost a few flips or gotten drawn out on I’d have even more big wins. Also never bought in for mote than 2 bullets except 1x th
I would never play heads up with a rake. That's just crazy. The house is the only one who wins.
You the man coach💯
Thank you Jonathan! I’ve been waiting for some heads up content, this is great
The problem with heads-up is that by the time you get really good at it nobody wants to play you anymore.
In 30 plus years the only heads up no limit Holdem I have played is maybe 3-4 times in tourneys.
Rarely do we play HU with 100BB. I would rather learn short or mid-stack (under 40BB) HU strategy than deep stack.
so when would you cbet? with good draws and top pair+?
Check raising turn … if it exists haven’t found too many(after calling flop bet in a 3 bet pot)
