I wont normally push this hand into a raise when HU, but opp had been playing really aggro since we got HU, raising almost every hand from the button. Do you push this with this read, or do i just fold and wait for a better spot to put my chips in?

| I push it, especially with those blinds. If he's raising every hand, then he's just playing correctly. He isn't being dealt a premium hand each time. HU with two aggressive players is about picking the right spot to catch him before he catches you. This looks like a good spot to me. If he has a good hand here you're unlucky. In that case just suck out on him. |

| You're looking to be all-in (raise or call) with any ace heads up, especially vs. a very aggressive person when the blinds are so large. |

| If he's raising like that every hand, I have no qualms about pushing there. If he has better his timing is very fortunate. My experience is that a lot of times he calls here with a worse hand - any two face cards, often. |

you are probably dead this hand, but it was a fine push... you just got unlucky.
In heads up more than half of the raises are steals |
