Default Heads Up, you limp he ALWAYS raises

In 2 player games I have an opponent who always raises if I limp in preflop. Facing such an opponent are there any hands you limp in with?

If so, what?

Also, if the flop misses you, are there any hands you stay to the river with anyway? (example: any ace?)

Thank you and good wishes.

Completing out of the SB (button) is generally bad HU, you want to be aggressive in that position.

Depends, although if you're not taking most Ace highs to the showdown you're probably folding too much.

Since you're headsup, start limp-reraising some with big hands. This may teach him to back off a little. You have to LRR with some weaker hands too, so you aren't totally predictable.

Tighten up and LRR every hand. You've just gotta have the lead here.
