Format:Perfect Paperback
Compared to "Sit n go strategy" of Moshman, this one seems a bit more advanced
It covers an important part of poker, heads up play.
There is a lot of advanced info in it, although at points it seemed a bit harder to follow that "Sit n Go strategy"...
For the ones who want some advanced insights on heads up play, it is a great purchase you won't regret!
Surely recommended!

Format:Perfect Paperback
The book is very cheap for any active head's up player. I play the $20 SnG stakes regularly and even at this low stake, the book is costs less than a buy-in, so if it can give me any edge at all, it's worth it. Unfortunately, it's really aimed at those that have never played the game before. Good introduction, but nothing here for the experienced player.

Good Place to Start, but no Game Theory
28 Jun 2009
Format:Perfect Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If most of your experience is at full tables, this book will certainly help you. What I find frustrating is chapters relating to game theory have tantalizing titles, then almost no content. The chapter on "Unexploitable Short Stack Play" has no reference to the Jam-or-Fold table developed by Bill Chen in The Mathematics of Poker (and Andy Bloch before him). The chapter on "Nash Equilibrium" merely describes what a Nash equilibrium is, not how to calculate one or use it in your game. Moshman argues that it's better to play exploitively of your opponents, and while I agree, I don't see how you can omit what unexploitable play looks like because you have to play a basic strategy until you determine what your opponent's style is to exploit.

Perhaps the toughest part of any hand - the Heads Up play
28 Sep 2008
Format:Perfect Paperback
This is a great book that focuses 100% on heads up play. Like Moshman's last book on sit and goes, this one gives you both the math and general sound strategy for playing these games. He describes how to beat aggressive opponents, attack weak players, and bet for "price-setting."
The material on Metagame and Pot size manipulation was new for me and very useful. There is also a nice review of fundamentals that includes how to make the mathematically correct decision in almost any hand.
Highly recommended.

Excellent insights
12 Dec 2008
Format:Perfect Paperback
The authors first book was one of the most informative and profitable poker books I have ever read so I was very interested in reading more of his ideas and I was not disapointed . Heads Up NLHE is very informative and has some very innovative ideas on how to handle the difficult situations you face in a heads up confrontation. Moshman's thoughts on exploiting different playing styles and pot size control and manipulation were particularly useful . This is a excellent advanced poker book .
