Product Description Heads-up confrontations can occur in any game, even when every seat is occupied. Yet, most hold em players who transition to the heads-up form, especially if they are from full ring no-limit games, do not succeed. Adjusting to the amount of aggression can be difficult since heads-up battles require you to bet and raise with many more hands than what would be considered standard at a full table. Despite this, no-limit heads-up hold em is growing rapidly, especially on the Internet. So mastering this form of poker can be invaluable for those seeking to add a winning loose-aggressive component to their game. In addition, with the increasing number of heads-up matches now available, becoming proficient in them can be highly profitable. This text, written by expert heads-up player Collin Moshman, is the first poker strategy book devoted exclusively to no-limit heads-up play. Through extensive hand examples and accompanying theory, you will learn to: 1. Master expected value, equity, value betting, and the fundamental mathematics of heads-up strategy, 2. Play and exploit each of the most common playing styles, 3. Manipulate the pot size based on your hand and your opponent, 4. Attack button limps, bluff multiple streets, and aggress in the most profitable manner, 5. Distinguish between optimal cash and tournament strategies, 6. Exploit your opponents tendencies and perceptions through metagame mastery, and 7. Maximize your heads-up profits through game theory and fundamental business concepts. So whether you are an aspiring heads-up professional, or want to be ready for the next time you re challenged to a one-on-one battle, Heads Up No-Limit Hold em provides you with the tools you need to succeed.

This book can be skipped December 15, 2009 B. Ashvin (Mauritius) 3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I'm a winning HU player. I bought this book to get a bit of new things and theory. But this book is really for begginers. It should be titled Heads up poker for dummies. As stated on page 2 of the book " This book is not designed to beat expert heads-up players."
If you guys are reading this and you want to play heads up, you can safely skip this book. Save your bucks and take a subscription on some video training site.
I'm sorry if I was a bit rude.
Excellent!! October 20, 2009 James R. Moore (Grand Rapids, Mi) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Absolutely sharpened my heads-up play.
Teadious read, but well worth the effort.
Good toilet read.
Left brain approach! August 14, 2009 Wilfredo Plaza (bridgeport, CT) 1 out of 4 found this review helpful
Read the entire book and will probably have to read again sometime down the road.Has many mathematical grids and problems which I didnt understand and skipped. This is more for someone who views poker like an mit grad, hence chris ferguson or andy bloch, nevertheless a good addition to my growing poker library.
Good Place to Start, but no Game Theory June 28, 2009 Seth Baldwin (Portland, OR United States) 8 out of 9 found this review helpful
If most of your experience is at full tables, this book will certainly help you. What I find frustrating is chapters relating to game theory have tantalizing titles, then almost no content. The chapter on "Unexploitable Short Stack Play" has no reference to the Jam-or-Fold table developed by Bill Chen in The Mathematics of Poker (and Andy Bloch before him). The chapter on "Nash Equilibrium" merely describes what a Nash equilibrium is, not how to calculate one or use it in your game. Moshman argues that it's better to play exploitively of your opponents, and while I agree, I don't see how you can omit what unexploitable play looks like because you have to play a basic strategy until you determine what your opponent's style is to exploit.
Great Book June 25, 2009 Shaun A. Kneher 2 out of 5 found this review helpful
I love Moshman and his work. I highly recommend all of his work. After reading his books I'm now finally a winning sit and go player.
