Get a free trial or download the free Heads Up HUD

Besides a free trial, you can also download an absolutely free Heads Up HUD from the bottom of the page – the Enthusiast HUD. This is for you, if you only play heads up occasionally, and don’t want to spend money on a premium HUD, but you also don’t want to be at a disadvantage, when you do play Heads Up.
But if you are more serious about heads up, then you can also get a free trial of the Master and Pro versions of the +EV Heads Up HUD, which has more stats and also a lot of popups for even more in depth look into your opponents’ game.

Winning matters

In heads up – like all the other poker formats – the most important thing is not to play GTO, or ‘good poker’ (whatever that means). The goal is to win – and to win – you need to identify your opponents’ leaks and then exploit them. To do this, you need a HUD, because you just can’t remember everything. A HUD helps to paint a picture of their game plan, which helps you identify their weaknesses. Otherwise you would just exchange the blinds back and forth – until the rake has taken all the money.
In heads up, the stats converge faster, because you play a lot more hands than in 6-max or full ring, and most of them also see a flop. This means, with a good HUD you’ll get to identify the leaks of your opponents’ a lot faster and win the money before it all goes to rake.

The Big Blind Preflop panel

 
The BB panels shows the preflop actions the player has taken when they are on the big blind.
It is also divided into 2 columns: Vs Limp and Vs RFI. Vs Limp shows how often the player raises, when you open limp from the button. The Vs RFI shows how they react to your steals: how often they fold, call, or 3-bet.

The SRP OOP panel

 
SRP OOP is the opposite of SRP IP – it shows stats for how the BB plays after calling the preflop raise.
On top, there are the standard Fold vs C-Bet, Call vs C-Bet and Check-Raise stats. Vs Dld shows how they react to delayed C-Bets. Donk shows how often they lead into the preflop aggressor. VsMCB shows how often they bet after the preflop raiser has not C-Bet.

The 3-Bet Pot OOP panel

 
The 3-Bet Pot OOP shows the stats from the preflop 3-Bettors point of view, after the SB open raised.
The stats are the same like for the SRP IP, but just filtered for the 3-Bet pot situation.
In Heads Up, it is very important to differentiate between 3-Bet pots and single raised pots, because the positions (IP/OOP) are reversed and protecting your ranges OOP is a lot more important than IP, which means more chances to exploit your opponent, if they don’t pay attention to that.

The popups

 
The +EV Pro and Master HUD’s also come with a lot of popups, which show more in depth information for different situations.
The popups are divided into 2 main columns where possible: Single Raised Pots and 3-Bet Pots. Sometimes also by position: in position and out of position.
Here you can see an example of how the popups look – they are all formatted like this – title on top, then the 2 columns, the streets, stats on a lighter background, actions in the middle and in the bottom line there’s the player name and how many hands you have on them.
The popups are assigned to relevant HUD panels, so it’s very intuitive to find them – just click on the panel and the popups will… pop up.
