heads up
 

Setup:
Several hands before h.u., I showed villain a MONSTER bluff on the turn (23 o/s on AK98 board) in a hand he seemed VERY interested in, to take his chiplead.

I KO small stack to enter final 2 with 5:2 chiplead.

He's been commenting on my general lack of skill and intelligence ever since the bluff.

Heads up (deep stacks, but exact counts elude me...)

Hand 1:
A4 o/s in sb
I push, he folds.

Hand 2:
A7 suited in bb
He calls, I push, he folds.

Hand 3:
10 10 in sb
I push, he folds.

Hand 4:
J4 o/s in bb
He folds sb.

Hand 5:
QK suited in sb
I push...


As villain, given my play so far, are you calling with:

Premiums only?

Any ace?

Any king?

Q7 or better?


Just curious how you approach a defense for this style of play, as it's the first time I've tried it heads up (or had good enough cards to attempt it).

Re: heads up
 

honestly, I find a half decent hand and push it, not giving you the chance. most guys who play like this (including me myself) will take a step back if the non-aggressor pushes back. then, just find a +EV spot, and do it.

this style doesnt change my heads up starting hand tought process much, just makes it all the worse when I get sucked out on. haha.

The pushes look good, and he probably shouldn't have been folding to them so much. You provide no information on stack size in comparison to blinds, so it is hard to evaluate the situation and plays.
