What is Heads Up Hold'em?

Heads Up Hold'em from Evolution Gaming is a live dealer poker game where the player competes directly against the dealer in a true one-on-one Texas Hold'em format. Both receive two hole cards; five community cards are shared. The best five-card hand wins.

How to Play

  1. Place Ante bet: Initial wager to join the hand.
  2. Blind bet: Equal to Ante — pays enhanced odds for Straight or better.
  3. Trips bet (optional): Side bet paying for Three of a Kind or better.
  4. Cards dealt: Player and dealer receive 2 hole cards; 3 community cards dealt face-up.
  5. Bet or Check: Decide to make a Play bet (2-3x Ante) or check. Turn and River then complete the board.

Strategy

Tip 1: Bet with Any Pair on the Flop

If you have any pair using your hole cards or the community cards after the flop, always place the maximum Play bet. The pot odds justify the raise in virtually all paired situations.

Tip 2: Trips Side Bet Value

The Trips side bet in Heads Up Hold'em pays 3:1 for Three of a Kind up to 100:1 for a Royal Flush depending on the pay table. Check the specific table's Trips pay table before committing regularly to this side bet.
