Oh boy did I have a tough time yesterday heads up against a player who raised preflop about 9 out of 10 hands. Which hands would you call with, fold with, reraise with?

How big were his raises? Were they the same everytime?

Sometimes you can pick up how strong they are by how much they raise, raising the minimum means nothing in HU. I played a guy the other day who raised the minimum most of the time with any two cards, when he had good cards, he raised 3x the BB, it was so obvious what he was doing.

I raise a lot in HU when I'm the first to act, where almost any hand can win. When you pick up a big hand, reraise him back. And when you're the first to act, you raise it up, putting him on the defensive. Aggression is key in HU.

PF raise to me, about the only cards I fold are 72 and the like, everything else I call, premium hands I reraise. Post flop is where it's won, imo.
