In heads-up, the aggressor controls the game. If you are the aggressor in majority of the hands, more often than not, the other player will be intimidated by you and you’ll be in control of the whole match. Once your opponent is scared, they’ll lose self confidence which in turn makes them make more mistakes.

When your opponent is in intimidated, they fold at your show of force. If they call, assume that you’re beat. Mental toughness is the key to win in heads-up matches. The toughest will be considered the winner.
