Playing poker headsup is a great way to make fast money online.  Headsup poker is a bit different than playing 9 or 10 handed though.

Your range of starting hands is much greater in headsup poker since there is less likelyhood of the other player having a great hand.  Suited connectors are great to put in a bet with or call a raise preflop.

When playing suited connectors it's basically your dream to hit the flop hard.  If your opponent has a small or even a large pair it will be difficult for them to let go of it.  So what do you do when you flop the nuts (straight or even a flush)?

For me it depends somewhat on how the other player has been playing to that point.  It's important to know what kinds of plays he/she is capable of before making any major moves.  Basically you have two options: Slow play your made hand, or put in a big raise.  If my opponent is a pretty tight poker player I typically put in a raise here, sometimes for all my chips.  They could have flopped a set, and it would be devistating if they turned or rivered a full house.  So I like to make them pay to see more cards here.  Against an aggressive poker player I lean towards slow playing.  Their range of hands is much weaker leaving it less likely they are holding a set or an overpair.  Aggressive players may even play back at you with weaker holdings.  Both scenarios workout just the way you want them to.
