Why Heads-Up Fixed Limit Hold' Em Poker?
Far from being the most popular version of poker, Heads-Up Fixed Limit Hold' Em is, in my view, the ultimate form of poker. Heads Up Limit Hold' Em is the purest form of poker you can get. Here are my etymological explanations in three parts.
Heads-Up (HU / HUHU). Heads-up poker is a pure mano a mano, hand to hand combat sport confrontation between two players eager to win the entire chips stack of their opponent. As Jason Koon, a successful tournament player, would say: “Heads-Up the Purest Form of Poker”. He is 110% right! Since, without a shadow of doubt, heads-up is the most skilled form of poker in existence.
No full ring or 6 max poker game can challenge you as much as an heads-up poker game. In heads-up poker, you can't hide. Your profits as your mistakes will be amplified. And for action junkies or simply those who prefers constant action over endless waiting. Heads-up poker is THE game for you. BUT if you expect to have any kind of success at heads-up poker. YOU MUST do your homework. You need to study and practise your craft. Usually, in heads-up poker, the more skilled player got the edge and win most of the time. If you don't believe me, just try to outplay Phil Ivey in an heads-up poker match.
Fixed Limit (L / FL). In fixed limit, you can't eliminated by any unskilled all-in tilting maniac. Less luck, more skill. That's what any serious mind game is all about! And that's what poker should be all about! Fixed limit used to be THE way to play poker. But since the 2003 "Chris Moneymaker" poker universal poker boom. No-Limit seems to be the only hold'em game available online. Due to his dramatic nature, no-limit is a lot more TV friendly than fixed limit will ever be. To paraphrase German pokerstars high stakes HU FL HE online specialist “rUaBot”, fixed limit is a science and no-limit is an art.
Texas Hold' Em (HE). For hold'em my explanations are plain and simple. Texas Hold' em is the poker to play right now. Since 2003, thankx to Chris Moneymaker (an amateur player with an highly appropriated given name qualifying online for the world championship) winning 2003 World Series of Poker (WSOP), Texas Hold' Em and online poker popularity litteraly exploded all around the world. This world wide fascination for poker and Texas Hold' em in particular is called "The Moneymaker Effect".
Anyway, as poker living legend Doyle Brunson once said: "Texas Hold' Em is the Cadillac of Poker." However, I'm not sure he included fixed limit hold'em in his claim.
Poker. Simply because when you think of a professional gambler you see a poker player. When I think about a pro gambler I see an old riverboat gambler. Poker is the Ultimate Form of Gambling. However calling poker gambling is a travesty. Poker is a mind game, a game of skills. Poker isn't a stupid game of luck where no matter what you do the odds are stacked against you. Poker is a science, poker is an art, depending of your point of view.
Since there is unfortunately no book and no website fully dedicated to Heads-Up Fixed Limit Hold' Em Poker. I wish that this blog will fill the void. And ultimately, I wish that HU L HE will regain some popularity. I need fish at the table!!!
