    Default HU against a rock

    I thought I was outplaying the shit out of this guy, but he kept hitting hands and then showing me his cards (so I knew he was really ahead whenever he bet). This is pretty typical of my heads up play, but it always feels like I just get waited out by these passive rocks. Any tips?
