What I'm describing is a good generic approach to heads up play, which you have to at least try at some point. It's highly effective against the majority of online players, especially at the lower buyin SnGs. You can certainly get away with a less aggressive approach and still do fine. You also at times HAVE TO scale back your aggression. On the rare occasion I meet a player more aggressive than me, I'm happy to lay some traps for him and play more cautiously - concede a little ground. But I don't think it's good to start off conceding ground. There are so many players who will give you half their chips willingly because they haven't seen a premium hand yet... why not take those chips instead of folding your garbage cards and patiently waiting to outplay them..?
