It depends on the situation you're in. You have to remember that head up you can be a little looser with your starting hand requirements, because it's basically a waiting game to see who makes the misteake of going all in against a monster.
Seasoned players can take advantage of this waiting period by stealing blinds against novice player. One way to combat this is by reraising. If he comes back over the top then they more than likely got the goods. You basically hae to gauge what you're willing to put everything on the line for. And sometimes waiting for that to happen can put you on the short stack rather quickly.
My personal philosophy is that after I'm in the money all the rules go out the window. Either way I'm going home with something more than I came with. Just how much depends on the cards I get and wether or not I can trap someone at the right time. While avoiding a trap myself.
So my advice is that when you are heads up. Loosen up. See the flop for a small price and dump it if nothing comes up.
