Playing heads-up is the closest you’ll ever get to feeling like you are playing Russian roulette with Christopher Walken in the movie Deer Hunter. There could not be a firearm to your brain, except going head to head at the poker table is a great stress scenario.

And when you can not beat this aspect of the game then there’s no probability that you’ll be able to accomplish your dream win, like American Chris Moneymaker.

Moneymaker beat competitors out by way of many online satellite tournaments on his approach to winning the WSOP Principal Event in Vegas in 2003, gathering $3.6 million when he bumped out his final challenger on the final table. Neither Moneymaker nor this year’s winner, Australian Joe Hachem, had participated in major US tournaments before but both proved that as well as playing the cards they had been competent at bullying a rival in single combat.

Heads-up is a lot like a casino game of chicken – you don’t want the quickest car or, in this instance, the very best hand. The nerves to stay on target and not deviate from the line once the pedal has hit the metal are far much more crucial qualities. This crazy attitude could acquire you into trouble if you crash your Route 66 racer into a monster pick-up truck, but with out it you might as well wander away from the table just before you even lay down your initial blind.

The most critical factor to keep in mind is that you don’t will need the most effective hand to succeed; it does not make a difference what cards you obtain dealt if the other person folds. If they toss in their ten-eight and you are perched there with an 8-6 you still get the chips. In heads-up you are able to justifiably contest any pot with just one court card and almost any pair is worth pumping.
