You do not need much more aggressive play

Play not passively , aggressively in position , raise A , K , make cbets , pairs lay them aggressively , especially when the blinds go up , use some charts to help you at the beginning how to raise , at what stacks and with what hands . Good Luck .

Agression is the key .. But also you should to learn how to spot weak HU player..If you find your opponent that he is bad HU player than it should be easy to win

Some factors influence your game in HU:

-position, be more aggressive on the button
-type of player you are facing, being able to hold or attack more.

I have a doubt with the heads up tournaments

As I understand the aggressiveness is essential


But with which hands should I raise preflop and not link anything postflop than to make a continuation bet?


To go up often preflop I do not give my opponent a chance to recover?

I advice you book of Collin Moshman "Heads-up No-Limit Holdem." I think there you can find a lot of answers on your questions!

Any King and ace you should be raising. Pocket pairs, suited connectors higher than 10. Heads up its harder to make a pair on a flop, so any pocket pair ur ahead pre flop, comes down to aggression and getting an early lead, once u take the lead chip away slowly on there but blind

Well said says Playful this is my strategy when I paly heads up 4 sure:)

First, we need to look at your opponent's style of play, and then choose a strategy game against him! One option for all opponents are not there!

Heads up is more about your opponents hand than yours.

I like this way of looking at it.
In many ways it is quite true. Of course if it does come to show down then the opponent's hand does still have to be behind yours.

I also thinl that it's a special kind of play. AQnd what about me, I also play it loose and going to be agressive if any card hits me at the flop.

Being successful heads-up requires a refined poker skill set; your ability to make strong reads of players and situations is paramount. Some believe that how well you perform heads-up is the purest indication of your poker abilities.
