Hi Fellas
I have been working on my heads up play and have had some up and downs, but over all I can tell improvement. I have a question however, how do you reccomend playing against someone that is super aggressive. Someone that raises ten times the big blind every time.
Would you recommend reraising with marginal hands or folding and waiting for a good starting hand.
I have been trying to just mix it up with calls and reraises
Thanks
Ralph

i would propbably tighten up for about 10-15 hands, and if they are raising at leeast 10X BB everytime, i would consider coming over the top with a good king , strong ace or any pair depending on your read...

If this is 1 on 1 at the end of an SnG then I recomend being super-aggresive, since the blinds are so big. Also, in 1 on 1, a King or an Ace in hand will most likely have your opponent beat. It's not like in a 10 man game where you have A8o that your probably going to get screwed over when an Ace flops and you start betting big. In 1 on 1, when that Ace comes, 90 percent of the time, you are ahead.
