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.

1. overvaluing mid pocket pairs
2. knowing you should fold, but donkishly calling or raising anyway

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
