Heads up mojo

Last night, I got my heads up mojo back. Heads up has a lot in common with the rock, paper, scissors game. There are a lot of head games (pardon the pun) going on. You're trying to zig when your opponent thinks your zagging, and vice-versa. There's definitely an art to it. You're trying to detect tiny patterns in your opponent's play, while at the same time giving your opponent nothing to detect in your own. No other phase of poker requires you to make so many difficult decisions. You're basically on a high wire with no net underneath you. Consequently, there's no richer reward in poker than winning a heads up battle. I live for such confrontations!
