This is actually in a PL 5-card draw game, but I don't think that really makes much difference. I was playing HU yesterday and was playing my usual reasonably aggressive game, raising 3x from the button fairly often. After a bit, my opponent adjusted by coming back raising about 2-3x my raise maybe half the time, and folding the other half. It worked completely and I was losing chips left and right.

So how would you go about playing against a reraiser? Should I just raise sparingly and then rereraise to his raise? I've noticed this is one of my more serious HU holes.

Call his raises with hands that connect with flops well. (T9s, 65s, etc)

You can only get away with that so many times and they will come back at you so then you dont know who really has the winning hand do you?
