    Default How to handle extreme aggression?

    I was playing .05/.10 heads up NL yesterday and was being the aggressor for most of the match. I think my opponent started getting frustrated/bored bc he started overshoving my c-bets and button raises semi-frequently and it worked for a little while because I got scared to make a mistake against him. He eventually quit but I'm curious as to how to better handle myself in that situation. Thoughts?

    Adjust:
    - tighten up button raising range, call 3b wider and 4b wider
    - cbet bluff less and call shoves wider

    Better post a few specific examples hands, but with heads there is so much dynamic involved that it's not always easy to give good advice out of context

    If he eventually quit, it's likely he just got hit over the head with the deck for a minute and went for max value when he made hands.

    er i do that when game slows down like players running the clock to the final second ,if the bb is 10 i bet 9 times the blind if some one raises ,i go all in 2 bet strategy no check,iff the players are going in tight and they all call triple raise the call,
    not a good strategy at all ,

    i have made good money in a short while ,but if you continue ,well go back to the bank,
