In heads-up situations, it's obvious enough to point out that one player will be 'in position' postflop and get to act last on all streets while the other will be 'out of position' and have to act first. Unlike perhaps is the case in many poker games with friends and also lower-limit live games, there's often going to be just two players left by the time the community cards arrive. The same is true if you happen to rail online poker games involving better poker players, such as the biggest poker tournaments and Sunday majors. If you watch a lot of poker on Twitch or on television, you've probably noticed how most no-limit hold'em hands are contested heads-up after the flop.Ī player opens with a raise, another calls, then it's just the two of them battling for the pot thereafter.
