This site is a working compilation of tips I've come up with over the years about limit holdem, heads up. It will have strategy, lessons, articles and general info from the beginner to advanced level.
Heads up poker, in my opinion, is the most pure form of cards, since you get to play many hands against the same player. Because of this the actual card value doesn't matter as much and the amount of moves a player has at his disposal is more than at a ring game. Even if you don't play limit holdem HU, you can still get a lot of strategy advice here that can be applied to other structures. As you play bigger limits too, you'll be faced with more heads up spots, so anything you pick up about that kind of play helps out a lot.
In limit holdem, more so than other games (at least I've found), much is about feel. So these articles/tips won't come in any formal way -- nothing like beginner to intermediate to advanced. Instead I'll post them here as they come to me.
