Do you go all in more or less often when you think your opponent is not playing aggresively enough heads up?
Is K2 an obvious or borderline push here? It's a party 55$.
He had K8 and won the hand.

All in more you are going to win a lot of blinds.

Yeah right. I push any two HU against a tight player with these blinds (however, I don't play $55s).

Allin is correct IMO.

I think all-in is clearly the correct play here.

I think the best strategy against a tight player depends on how he plays against min-raises. If he treats them the same as all-ins, then min-raise away! However I suspect most players at the $55s are hip to that kind of trick and will re-steal.

This is absolutely the correct play. If villain treats mini-raises like allins, then this is the absolute best strategy.

K2 is a push against a player that isn't very tight. Against a tight player you can push much more.

agreed on the mini raise
also if hes tight passive you could try limping in, then betting 500-800 when he checks to you on the flop. You'll take down a 1,000 and risk less that way too. Obviously a good player will raise you off of your hand though if you try to limp in though.

What I do is once it is heads up, I figure out what he is doing then I use it to my advantage ? Well duh, but what I mean is that I raise with QTo to 3x blind or something to see what he does, if he folds, I'm running all over him with nearly any two even 86 o which is my lucky hand lately. If he calls, then I might need a better hand to push with but I'm still going to try to run over him but just be a bit more strategic about it.
