Heads-Up Hold'em (HUH) is a relatively new poker variant that seems to be gaining traction. Its rules are nearly identical to those of Ultimate Texas Hold'em (UTH) (see this post). I am surprised this game even exists. That said, HUH appears to be one of those rare games that has a real chance for success.

To the readers and followers of APHeat, you are no doubt wondering about this new look. About a year ago I set a retirement date of late 2017 - that's right, retirement.

Flop Poker (FP) is a poker style game that is popular in the Southern states. First introduced in 2003, it is one of the longest surviving novelty games. FP is an example of a game that is both vulnerable to hole-carding and one that APs would not go out of their way to play.

Double Draw Poker (DDP) is a relatively new game that appears to be gaining ground in some markets, both in the US and internationally. The first time I saw DDP was at the Global Gaming Expo in 2013. After learning how DDP was played, I immediately commented to the game developer that DDP appeared to be extraordinarily vulnerable to collusion (information sharing among players).
