In Part II of Bodog Poker pro David Williams' article Advanced Poker Advice: Mano y Mano, Williams looks at how not only the range of playable hands increase in heads-up play but also at how the range of flops you can slow-play increases.

He also offers some heads up advice on how to control the size of the pot to maximize your advantage.

"In heads up poker, it is sometimes difficult to control pot size, as often times, you'll run into the player that has heard that aggressive play is the only way to win heads up poker. While it is a strong strategy, it's often misinterpreted to mean that you should try to bulldoze over people, which is not the case. If you can just take more pots than your opponent when you both have nothing, then you have a cushion for the pots that will turn into big confrontations. This way, if you lose that pot, you're not out of the game just yet, and if you win, then you've broke your opponent."
