Hi,

Here is a site with some good basic info. http://www.heads-up-poker.org/

Also if you go to Randy Lew's site there is a nice 3 part video series of him playing in a heads up tournament. Here is a link.

Search in the "poker" section of his blog for the follow ups.

Best of luck to you.

Bill

There is a good book von Collin Moshman about HU Cashgames and HU SNG´s. I think small ball and aggression is the key, and more tight- passiv play against the maniacs. Good luck !

Still looking for a heads up Coach, still kinda broke and i have been having great sucess on my own, now i just need the proper bank roll so i dont go brok ehaha

if you have a small bankroll dont play heads up. It is extremely high variance and you will lose your whole roll. I would play micro SNGs if you want some practice heads up

So.. you're looking for a HU coach, but you're broke... yet, you're having success on your own, but you need a bigger bankroll...

What exactly are you asking for here? Free lessons or free money? If you're having success on your own, then why do you need a coach?

Anyways.. if you are really looking for a coach, or need a little advice, I would head over to the Learning Poker section, they have a list of available coaches that are available to CC members.. maybe skim through the instructional videos.

i realize my post was quite, how should i say, dumb... LEt me be more specific, I have learned a good amount on my own, in terms of HU play. Now i dont have the proper bank roll to play an actual HU cash game on FTP, it is quite high 25c/50c
I was looking for a HU coach to help me improve my HU game so that I can start crushing the HU sngs, since my bank roll can only handle micro limits.

Now in terms of paying someone, my bank roll is all the money i have for poker in general, (i do not have enough to withdraw to invest in anything poker wise) But if a HU coach would like to make an agreement on maybe say a % of my winnings then im all for that.

lol hope this is less confusing

HU Cash NL poker coaches are like 200$ an hour. If you have that kind of money then go for it. It's a lot of money

Yeah, that sounds better and more reasonable than how I took your original post, lol.

I will coach you HU. Let's play $2.20 HU SNG's on Full Tilt. How expensive the lessons are for you, matters on how quick you learn.

Well Codd, you are a new member here and i feel that i do not know you well enough as of yet
