Book Reviews of Heads-Up No-Limit Hold 'em

Book Review: best book out there on heads up no limit play
Summary: 5 Stars

Collin Moshman's second book on poker follows his excellent work on sitngos, which is probably the primary work for anyone interested in becoming proficient at single or two table sitngos. The topic he has chosen to take this time around is far more complex in this writer's/poker player's opinion--heads up no-limit play. The importance of heads up play is not limited to strategies used by players who do nothing but play cash heads up games, of which there are many, but instead includes both tournament players and cash game ring players, as many if not most hands come down to two players facing off after all the others have folded to a preflop raise. Thus, I recommend that anyone playing no-limit holdem put some time into reading through and understanding the concepts Collin puts forth in this excellent work. what I particularly appreciate is Collin's facility at explaining rather difficult and often mathematics-based concepts so that pretty much anyone can understand and utilize them. Heads up no-limit play is complex enough that there will be some who feel other approaches are superior, but what Collin presents is a thorough look at a fundamentally sound method of playing each street with relevant examples added throughout. If you play no-limit poker, either cash or tourneys and either ring games or short-handed, there's no excuse not to read and even study what's in this book.

Summary of Heads-Up No-Limit Hold 'em

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.
