Heads-up Holdem poker as spread online or in b&m casinos is not a zero-sum game. For it to be a zero-sum game both blinds would have to be equal. That is not how the game is played. In Casinos there is a small blind which is some increment below the big blind. This fact makes the game a non-zero sum game.

Hold'em is zero-sum if you're willing to ignore the rake and the toke. The size of the blinds is not relevant.
