If you think pushing back at an aggressor with K8 offsuit is crazy, see how surprised you are when he calls you all in with JT offsuit.
When someone gets overaggressive, they're taking a lot of risks. They're telling you this battle isn't going to be warm and fuzzy. Your goal becomes to find a hand to race with, and punch that shit. You want to race with advantage as soon as possible, because that's what your opponent is defining with their aggression. Normally if you win one race, your aggressive opponent is crippled enough to put away.
Remember this...
An overaggressive opponent is giving you a lot of opportunities to dance for a big pot with a better hand than he has. Over the course of 20 heads up battles against overaggressive opponents, if every time you decide to find a decent hand and race with it, you'll win most of them. That's poker. The more aggressive a heads up battle becomes, the less it becomes about this one contest. Now it's about making a good decision and riding it home the majority of the time.
