[QUOTE="t1riel, post: 377172, member: 3913"]
Recently, We've had some threads asking some advice about Heads up play.  It just so happens I ran across an article written by Dan Clauss dealing with heads up.  It makes a good point stating that a common mistake beginners make is not thinking about their opponent's hand and concentrating on their hand.  It claims that 33% of the time your opponent would catch anything on the flop.
   You will face a lot of agressive players during heads up play so you need to be aggressive.  The article states that aggressive players don't like to face aggression.
   Pre-flop, you need to make a small raise on maringal hands like suited and unsuited connectors.  This gives you a read on what the other opponent has.  If he/she calls, they probably don't have that great of a hand because if they did, they would have re-raised.  Especially against an aggressive player, who will call anything. A tight/conservative player would probably fold if you raised.
   The article gives an example hand to illlustrate what its trying to explain but I'm not going to mention it here.  The point is, be more aggressive.  Raise more and try to get a read on your opponent.  In the long run, you should be successful in heads up play.
