My HU play is severly lacking when I play my buddy which happens a lot due to our at home SNG's...its seems to come down to me and him more often than it doesn't, but he has my number consistently.

I think most of this involves that I dont have much HU experience and am not very good at it....second is he is very tricky and I always seem to do the wrong thing.

A few known reads....

1) HU he is looking to call down with any piece of the flop...will even call for all his chips with bottom pair, but seems to know when I have him beat...(maybe my betting patterns?)...so I dont like to bluff at him when I miss cuz I know he is willing to showdown with bottom pair.

2)He also plays his draws aggressively...looking either to make me fold or to catch and take much of my chips....so its hard for me to know when he has a draw or a made hand.

3)I would say he is quite LAGgy and steps it up even more when it comes to HU......

How I play heads up now is usually raising from the button with any 2 most of the time and seeing how the flop treats me and how he reacts to a bet on the flop......

Top pair I am getting my chips in regardless because I cant seem to tell if hes on a draw or has mid/bottom pair.....

When I dont have the button I will raise often when he completes, and will call raises as long as I dont have complete garbage.....

So I geuss since I am generally bad at HU, I am looking for good general tips, as well as specific ones that would help in this matchup...any help would be appreciated, ty.
