Heads-up

It's a situation where only two players are involved in a hand or in a game. It can occur in various contexts:

• Heads-up play: A poker game or tournament format where only two players compete against each other.
• Heads-up situation: Within a larger game or tournament, when all other players have folded or busted, leaving only two players remaining in contention for the pot.

Heads-up situations require a different strategy compared to multi-player scenarios, as players have to adjust their tactics to the dynamics of facing just one opponent. It often involves more aggressive play and requires a deeper understanding of your opponent's tendencies and playing style.
