I was playing 8-game on Stars heads up. It's important to put maximum pressure when heads up and raise frequently, but then I got dealt [Qh] [Tc] [Kd] [Ah] [Ac]. I raised from the button and the BB folded. Going back over it though, brought up these questions:
-Can you be too aggressive from the button?
-Should you limp in every once in a while to mix up your game?
-If you raise with an ultra-bad draw (like the one mentioned above) and get called, how do you react? Draw 5? Stand pat and try and snow the BB? Mix it up and do both?
Obviously heads-up is an incredible battle and against an opponent who is paying attention you will need to mix it up. But at the micro 8-game, even heads up, if your opponent isn't paying as close attention as you are then pulling these tricks might not work. Even worse, if you establish an image the game changes every 6-hands and you might need to shift gears for the next game.
