Default Re: HU, short stack, big blinds

Anyway, they always try and be super aggressive at the end

They'll raise every pot trying to steal the large blinds while they eat away at you.

Thats what they are suppose to do. Head up is a whole different ball game. You want to be the raiser and the aggressor.

is there something I can do besides just go all-in and hope when he raises or re-raises me? He obviously wants to reduce the game to luck and I might just have to comply.

If the situation is like you said and you are short stacked, then that is going to be your only defense. It is easy to pick on a short stack by raising and betting the flop. The only way you are going to combat a bully with a bigger stack than you when the blinds are so big is play back at him. I'd suggest trying to learn which hands play best head up. Like Ax, Kx, pp's, etc. And if you are short stacked, play back at him with these hands. If you win one or two hands and even up the stacks then you can change your style a "little" not to much though, cuz remember, head up you want to be the bully.
