Looking for Heads-up Online?!? Paradise is dead?

Seems like the H2H action has all but dried up at Paradise. All of the players have moved to the sites with the huge multi-player tourneys/promos. Paradise is adding these which should help, but I'd love to find another good site with H2H.

Private tables aren't what I'm looking for either. Thanks. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Try Pokerstars. I know sites like The Gaming Club and WSEX also offer HU games, but their traffic is low. Certainly lower than Paradise.

For large H2H action, you might check out Pokertropolis.

Hmmm. I wouldn't recommend Pokertropolis. I hear there's a lot of collusion going on at those high limits.

Pstars does not have heads up tables, and if you play 1-1 at a normal table, the blinds are in the wrong place. The tournies are ok, but not the same. Also, how do you collude 1-1? Not that I play on or have any reason to trust pokertropolis, but I think that collusion is a fairly silly reason not to play 1-1 on a site [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

How so? Isn't the 200-400 and 100-200 just heads up?
Are you insinuating the site is rigged?

I've tried Pokerstars, UltimateBet, and PartyPoker and none of them seem to have any heads up action.

Thanks for the replies... [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

i never understood the abbreviation H2H.. i mean, i understand it means head to head.. but i would think the standard term would be HU for heads up.. i just hate subbing numbers for words i guess [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Cup,
I would first like to say that I appreciate your contributions to this forum. Having said that, I would like to add that I quickly lose respect for posters who trash sites where they have obviously never played, especially when it is a site that I play and trust and would like to see grow. For the record, the highest ring game at Pokertropolis is normally 20-40 or 15-30, with a very occasional 30-60. You would know this if you had ever actually visited the site. There has never been a post of a hand history even suggestive of collusion that I have seen, despite numerous such posts from other sites. In fact, I have never seen a post from someone who lost there, though I do remember a post from someone who didn't like the games but won anyway. Payouts are extremely fast and customer service is very responsive. Reviews on this forum can be very valuable if they could somehow be limited to factual experiences.

You're right, I've never played there, but I think you're misunderstanding my post. I'm not trashing the site, I'm just making a joke. I've never colluded before, but I'd imagine it would be pretty fruitless at a HU table. Collusion, HU, just 2 players...see, it was a joke.
