    Default Heads Up vs Hyperaggressive

    Now this guy wasn't a maniac, but he was overly aggressive. His preflop raises in the first level (10/20) ranged from 120 to 200. When I would bet out on a flop, the times he raised me were significant raises that I couldn't call. The hand I finally decided to stick up to with this guy wasn't probably the best choice. I did get pretty unlucky in the hand, but should I just fold this hand and wait for something better? I am thinking that's what I should have done. Seemed that whenever I would make a hand to get back to even, his overly aggressive play would get him back to a 2:1 chip lead.

    Looks good to me. Any pocket pair plays very well heads up, particularly given your read on this guy. By shoving over his over-raise you also give yourself some fold equity, and there's always the chance that he calls you with something you're ahead of (like A2-A5, 22-44).
