A 266-Page Reference Built Around One Format: Heads-Up PLO
Heads-up PLO isn’t shorthanded PLO with two players removed — it’s a different game with its own rules. Cory Mikesell’s Heads-Up PLO: The Definitive Guide is a 266-page written framework, delivered as a single PDF rather than a video series, covering preflop range construction, postflop planning, and the exploitative reads that separate strong heads-up regulars from everyone else. The PDF format is deliberate: heads-up PLO theory is reference-heavy, full of range charts and sizing tables that are genuinely easier to search, annotate, and revisit than to scrub through hours of video.
With no multiway equity to dilute ranges, heads-up play opens up dramatically — nearly every hand becomes playable preflop, position matters on every street rather than just before the flop, and 3-bet and 4-bet pots come up constantly instead of rarely. High-stakes heads-up regulars also lean on run-it-twice and double-board formats far more than standard cash games, which changes variance management and hand selection in ways most general PLO material never addresses — and this guide covers exactly that. If you want a broader introduction to PLO fundamentals before specializing into heads-up, This Is PLO by Phil Galfond is a solid place to start.
What’s Inside
- 266 pages of structured strategy — a full framework rather than a short-form summary
- Preflop 3-bet and 4-bet range construction built specifically for heads-up frequency, where these pots are the norm rather than the exception
- Single and double-board postflop planning, including how equity and variance shift when a hand runs on two boards at once
- Exploitative adjustments against common heads-up player archetypes, drawn from real high-stakes experience
Who Should Take This Course
PLO players moving into heads-up formats who want a deep, structured reference rather than a quick highlight-reel course. It pairs naturally with dedicated 3-bet pot training like QuickPro PLO 3-Bet Pots GTO, since 3-bet pots make up such a large share of heads-up volume.
Common Questions
Do I need prior PLO experience? Some baseline PLO knowledge helps, since this is a deep reference rather than a beginner introduction to the game.
Is this more theory or practical application? Both — range construction theory is paired throughout with concrete exploitative adjustments against specific heads-up player types. If you’d rather work through multiway PLO instead, 5-Card PLO Mastermind covers a completely different variant of the game.
