Cant remember this kev, its been a while since we were last heads up, I cant recall the last time. It wasnt a bad beat so it never stuck in my mind. I knew i would some interesting responses from this question. I wonder if my poll will match my thoughts of %60 skill %40 luck. Go vote.

That is a very good post MAGICARD...I feel that a heads up game is much more interesting than a normal full table game...it is also a game that takes a lot out of you, it is a very mental game and will tire you more than the normal games. I usually play a SnG after a heads-up game to relax and get my normal body functions working again. One good heads-up will wear me out more than playing a 5 or 6 hour tournament.

Hi everyone...i feel when your down to the final two players..catching the right cards is the key to winning. Ive seen too many large chip leads reduced to nothing in like two minutes..because you have AJ and the other guy has 8 2 and you lose on the river to a flush! Who plays an 8 2 anyways!!!!!! aye carrrumbaaaa

I think it's 80% skill and 20 % luck, because of my last 10 matches I lost 2.

I agree with Crapshoot that you will need a lot of skill to play HU and that it is a skillful betting game. I do not agree that it is a preflop/flop game, that's what some players make of it.

I don't think it really takes reading and betting skills, if you're a good player and make the right decisions, then there's really no need to find out you opponents betting patterns. He should be the one finding out your betting patterns.

I do not recommend bluffing a lot, but will encourage semi-bluffing.
