Doug Polk and Mike Brady Discuss Post-Flop Strategies in Heads-Up NL


In a recent podcast, Mike Brady and Doug Polk delved into the strategies for post-flop play in heads-up No-Limit Texas Hold'em. The discussion was centered around the nuances of post-flop strategies, particularly focusing on the use of different sizings and the importance of bluffing.

Doug Polk emphasized the importance of using only one sizing for flop and turn, and multiple sizings for river. He noted that this approach simplifies the game and helps in maintaining a balanced strategy. Polk advised that players should think about the best sizing for their hand and the texture of the board, and if it doesn't fit, they should check.

Polk also highlighted the significance of bluffing without equity in heads-up games. He explained that in heads-up situations, players often need to bluff with hands that have no equity, especially when they have good blockers. This strategy helps in exploiting the opponent's range and can be very effective in heads-up play.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
