I posted the other day about a sexy river check-raise that resulted in my opponent abruptly quitting on me, up about a buyin and a half. He found me Sunday and we played two tables of heads up for 4-5 hours. Initially, I was owning him. He was opening 100% of his buttons for a min-raise but had folded to 100% of 3-bets for the first hour or so. Naturally I ramped up the aggression, won every small pot, and got some big hands paid off. At my peak, I was up 7 buy-ins on him. I felt like I had the better grasp on the gameflow and was adjusting to him faster than he was adjusting to me, which is exactly what you need in a heads up game. Here are a few hands where I owned him:
