Description

Upswing Advanced HU Mastery — Master Heads-Up Poker & Gain the Ultimate Edge

If one-on-one poker is where you want a real, bankable edge, Upswing Poker: Advanced Heads-Up Mastery gives you a clear system you can download and apply right away. You’ll build a stable GTO baseline for opens, 3-bets, and 4-bets, then layer in sharp, evidence-based exploits that punish common HU leaks—without getting lost in solver theory. Whether you’re battling deep-stacked regs in cash or closing out final tables, the course focuses on decisions you can execute quickly under pressure.

Build a HU Engine That Scales

Start with positionally sound raising strategies and disciplined defense. You’ll map frequencies by stack depth, understand which boards favor range vs. polarity, and keep initiative without spew. For sharper aggression that actually shows up in results, add targeted review with Run It Once — Redline Mastery to align pressure lines with your pool’s tendencies.

Exploit Smart, Not Wild

The course shows where populations over-fold turns, mis-size rivers, and give up too many small pots—so you can convert thin edges reliably. Calibrated deviations sit on top of a rock-solid baseline, keeping your EV stable against strong opponents. If you want quick, bite-size edges to plug in this week, fold in 2-Card Confidence — Preflop Xploits for fast fixes at the very first decision point.

Postflop Mastery Under Heat

Heads-up poker is constant brinkmanship—c-bet sizes, delayed lines, and check-raises all carry more weight. You’ll learn to:

  • pick textures where small c-bets print vs. where delay lines outperform,
  • build turn ladders that keep value dense while unlocking credible bluffs,
  • protect river EV with blocker-aware thresholds instead of “hope calls.”

Polish your intuition for pressure and hand conversion with the practical psychology in Fish in a Barrel—useful when you’re deciding whether to turn marginal showdown value into profit.

Endgame & Deep-Stack Confidence

From 150bb sitdowns to ICM-tainted finales, this training keeps your plan coherent: maintain range advantage early, shift gears as SPR drops, and close efficiently when pay jumps matter. To keep your overall plan glued together across formats and stakes, anchor your study loop with Metagame Poker Gameplan so your HU work supports the rest of your strategy, not just isolated spots.

Quick Wins (this week)

  • Tighten BTN open sizes on boards that punish over-c-betting.
  • Add one disciplined river bluff line tied to premium blockers.
  • Normalize one turn probe frequency vs. passive check-backs.
  • Pre-decide your 4-bet/flat mix vs. early resistance to avoid time-bank spew.
