How to train heads-up pots

Train heads-up pots by position and initiative: raiser versus caller, in position versus out of position, and single-raised versus three-bet pot. Those labels explain most strategy shifts.

When to use this guide

  • You know the spot type but want a cleaner reason for the decision.
  • You want practice prompts before opening a trainer session.
  • You need related concepts to review after a missed hand.

Focus on heads-up pots

Use this page for one off-table poker study question: How should I train heads-up pots? Name the spot type first, then review decisions that repeat in that same family.

Common mistake

Studying flops without labeling who has position or initiative.

Practice drill

For each spot, write IP/OOP, aggressor/caller, pot type, and board texture before choosing an action.

Practice prompts

  • Before reviewing a hand, write the spot label: heads-up pots.
  • For each spot, write IP/OOP, aggressor/caller, pot type, and board texture before choosing an action.
  • Save one repeated mistake label for tomorrow instead of adding a new topic immediately.
