I am wondering if your heads up and your the BIG BLIND and your also the button, (how it is on pokerstars) what is the best strategy to use agaianst a player who is pre-flop raising ever hand? Because when im the bb or the button he gets to act first raising and of course 90% of the time I have nothing and hes getting to win using my position. Do I do as I already do just folding and folding re-raising pre-flop with hands I would normally make a raise with (Ace-Ten and up) or.....please help

heads up, you have to play way more starting hands. im sure someone else can give you better advice, but hes just stealing your blinds - he doesnt have a hand every time. pick a hand, make a stand and reraise prflop.

Rippy. He's heads up.
You're certainly not advocating camping in heads up, are you? Maybe I just read your post wrong?

If you think pushing back at an aggressor with K8 offsuit is crazy, see how surprised you are when he calls you all in with JT offsuit.
When someone gets overaggressive, they're taking a lot of risks. They're telling you this battle isn't going to be warm and fuzzy. Your goal becomes to find a hand to race with, and punch that shit. You want to race with advantage as soon as possible, because that's what your opponent is defining with their aggression. Normally if you win one race, your aggressive opponent is crippled enough to put away.
Remember this...
An overaggressive opponent is giving you a lot of opportunities to dance for a big pot with a better hand than he has. Over the course of 20 heads up battles against overaggressive opponents, if every time you decide to find a decent hand and race with it, you'll win most of them. That's poker. The more aggressive a heads up battle becomes, the less it becomes about this one contest. Now it's about making a good decision and riding it home the majority of the time.

It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

How much is he raising pre-flop? How deep is the money?
If it's every hand, isn't he just effectivly just posting a bigger blind?

He's beating you with his bets, not his hands. So don't camp and wait for ace ten or better. usually having a king in your hand makes for the better hand of the two. Play suited cards strong, play connecting cards strong, play pockets and any aces strong. call everything else unless it's 3 2 offor something like that. keep in mind though that even 98 off against big slick suited is still not written off, but just don't get carried away.
