A poker game is said to be heads up when only two players face off against each other. No matter how many players play, the basic rules remain the same, as per the variant being played. However, due to the fact that it is a one-on-one playoff, the game dynamics as well as the psychological factors play out differently. To put it in more relatable terms, heads up poker is like playing chess with cards instead of chessmen.Heads up games and tournaments are often played online, and are usually between players who know each other personally or at least know each other's playing style and skill level.A well thought out strategy often helps you win more consistently in heads up games. For one thing, your typical hand values change, and you do not fold quite as often. In fact, typical heads-up play would see you playing at least two-thirds of all your hands. Speaking in broad terms, a winning heads up strategy is to chip away at your opponent's stack by taking cheap pots consistently and taking control of the game.Every had need not be played, but you do not always need a very strong hand to call or raise.

Think of playing heads up like being in an argument. In every relationship there is usually a dominant person and a submissive person. If both parties are dominant then most likely the relationship will not work out. The same goes for heads up poker. There is usually an aggressive player that dominates the other player and gets his or her way (which is to win). In the case of two aggressive players playing heads up, the game is usually much more exciting, but it is also a much shorter game.
