What do you guys usually play during a heads up? tight aggressive, loose, or slowplay?
i play loose due to the fact that there is only 2 people and if you both play tight you wouldnt see any flops?
Your hand range should really open up HU
You can't wait for premium hands in heads up. You should really play anything better than the average starting hand. Also, I tend to raise a lot more than I would usually.
Defend your button, almost always a raise when in position pre flop.
im notta guy ~ but ...when i have Cards~ im very agressive
raise the button every time. it doesn't matter what your hand is 90% of the time. i play a lot of heads up sit n gos on party poker. and i wouldn't advise playing tight otherwise you're just gunna get crushed.
I would play very loose. I dont think you should raise the button every time, you can just call and play aggressive after the flop... But folding on the button should never happen unless the opponents stack is small enough that you dont want to double him up easily. But even that, it should be rare because your opponent will fold a lot of hands unless he's super short.
My experience when HU in a PO game, I was almost always big stack, so the term "Big Stack Bully" is true because I really bully my opponent. So Christoffer when we are ever HU and I have chips just give up LOL
I try my best I but heads up is hard for me to play because I don't want to play very many hands. It is something I need to practice on.

i play loose and really aggressive while heads up. and ace is gold
it depends on the other player.
but a little aggression always
I play aggressive, but usually lose,, so you may not want to play that way.
raise 90% of buttons, cbet alot, over bet rivers as bluffs and nuts frequently
Adjust to oponent
It depends on how my opponent plays. If it's a tournament, it also depends on structure.
Much looser than in other stadiums of the game, raising much, but trying to avoid all-in's. It's easier to suck out
I usually play at the beginning aggressive, then after i picked up some blinds i start playing tight.
i got no patient for HU
got to be ultra agression no other way agressive will always win heads up
I think slowplay is jsut the way to go against aggressive players... i ve hit a flush on the flop recently and checked it through (i know thats usually not good) but in this case the opponent raised with ace high on flop turn and river. by the end i was all in and won
I play aggressive
sometimes I fish
I eat eggs in the morning before my tournament
i feel heads up is my best arena, i play very aggro at beginning raising almost 100 percent of my buttons to a tight player building a stack then i pick spots to exploit post flop gl with ur endeavors hu
No, you can play agressive at the beginning qnd then try to play loose and tight ;)
I hate heads up. I play all different ways so the other players have stated. Don't know if that is good or bad.
i love heads up it's on game merge can't screw you up with the bs
raise the button every time. it doesn't matter what your hand is 90% of the time. i play lot of heads up sit n gos on party poker. and i wouldn't advise playing tightt otherwise you're just gunna get crushed.
Usually, by the time a tournament reaches heads up, the blinds are huge and swings are great. You really can't afford to give away all your buttons. Defend it and don't become passive and let your opponent take advantage of you. Past that, there are a lot more swings and one double up for example with a 2:1 chip lead would allow you to become a 1:2 underdog, so time your shoves carefully. I like just doubling the bb. All some people will be dumb enough to call out of position marginally if they are fish, so you have to be willing to check fold 2 bbs if you are playing against a fish since getting them to fold a marginal hand whether they are an aggro or passive fish is kind of useless.
My advice: if you're playing against a decent player, 2 bb as a standard unless you have like 7/4 off type garbage early on. If you're playing against a passive fish who will just call bets, play small as possible preflop and try to force stacks once you hit a top pair or better type hand. And against an aggro fish who just never folds, just wait for a premium hand.
The deeper heads up you go and the bigger bb to stack ratio is, the more lightly you can permit an all in situation marginally. Aka 5 bbs equals shove any K, even if you're chip leader, but 10 bb allows you to wait for an A to do such.
Hope this helps a little. I'm not pro, but I play a lot of heads up.
Heads up can be tough, play the good hands for sure!
It most depends on the other player but more than not you should stay agressive if you wanna win. Im a heads up beast.
