Nope, that won't work either. Unless your opponent is completely stupid they'll catch on very fast if you're only betting when you have a hand and as a result you'll never get paid off unless they've caught a monster as well. Even the most basic $2 HU player can recognise a nit inside of a dozen hands and adjust to suit.
As a flipside to that though, I firmly believe that it is possible to be too aggressive and it's hands like this that prove it. Aggression is very important but you need to be selective with it - the turn in this hand wasn't a good spot.
You need to combine position, aggression and solid reads to be successful at HU. And be aware that even when you've got those things sorted, it's still an evil swingy bastard of a game. I'm up over a sample of close to 300 games at the $2 level, and in that I've had streaks of up to nine wins running. I've had up to seven losses running too and patches where there's a lot more losses than wins. Point is, you're not necessarily "missing" anything just because you have 10 wins or 10 losses in a row - that's just the nature of the game. It's how you're running overall after you've played a reasonable number of games that's important.
