heads up strategy

hey
does anyone here have a "system" or basic guidelines for NL heads up play with an ante of 1 instead of a blind and starting with 50 in chips?
im starting to play this more and more and i wanted to know how to get better and tweak my strategy...im usually tight and agressive in a full game but i need tips on which hands to play and how to adjust?
also, the structure i was talkin about is tourney style, not heads up cash game
any ideas would be very helpful

you cant cash out at any time, so you hafta play until one or the other has all of the chips
any ideas for strategy?

Heads up play with basically 50xbb??? With HU anything goes, you'll have to develop your own style.

BTW this thing is basically a HU SNG with no blind increment?

Heads up vs. typical opponent who is average at best heads up?

Take down every pot where you are ahead and try to take down every pot where there is any question as to who is ahead.

The main question I have is where the button is?

If the button acts last preflop then you would need a noticable change of strategy, if not then the difference in play should be pretty minimal.

You need to push your hands that have a +EV. The aggressor is awarded in HU play so I would be very agressive with any pair and I would also be aggressive with AK-A9 suited or not, KQ to K9, QJ-Q8, JT, T9, 98.
