There are two different scenarios where we will find ourselves playing heads up poker.
1. We are playing a heads up 📉 cash game. Either we are deliberately choosing to play 2-handed, or we are playing a ring-game where the other players 📉 have either left or haven’t joined yet.
2. We have reached the final table of a tournament and there are only 📉 two players left.
Note that a hand may often be described as “heads up” even if multiple players were dealt into 📉 the hand. This might occur when only 2 players see the flop after all other players fold preflop. “We saw 📉 a flop heads up after open-raising preflop and getting one cold-caller”.
Example of Heads Up used in a sentence -> It’s 📉 often said that heads up cash games require more skill than short handed or full ring cash games.
