Default Anyone know of an article or book for heads up or short game stud?

There are not many stud games running on UB, so I figure I'll be starting a lot of heads up games there. I need to work on my heads up game, and was wondering if anyone knew of an article or book they could direct me towards.
Thanks

A lot of indirect stuff but nothing directly. master the full games first because if u sit across from someone like me, its over before it starts. HU is pure skill.

He's saying that if you sit down with somebody who knows what they are doing in a HU stud match, the cards aren't going to matter.

He's also saying that the size of his balls cause him to walk with a slight limp.

The short version. Poker books can only make a player DECENT. Decent loses on-line (it can be profitable in live non-rack games). Only experience does the trick.

I have never found an article or book on the subject either. The comments about playing the person and not the cards so much certainly apply though.

By the way CPA - you finish building that shrine to yourself yet?

BTW Istream - No shine just a bankroll. And my calloway X20s are very nice. They were purchased with your cash.

Would you care to debate any issue on HU or is it just being a sore loser. Dec 06 was a very tough month for you, don't take it out on me.
