Heads-up poker is a form of poker that is played between only two players. It might be played during a larger cash game session, where the game is breaking up and only two players remain on the table, or where two players are trying to start a game and playing heads-up while waiting for other opponents.
The game is typically played with two to ten players, using a standard deck of 52 cards. The objective is to make the best possible five-card hand, using any combination of the player's two-hole cards and the five community cards. The game is divided into four rounds after which the player wins the pot.
