My way heads up is ... keep pressure on, min raise BB pre- flop ..
Or all-in any pair , or , any Ace ..
It really depends on the chip stack of you and your 'oppo' ..But in the main you have to the aggressor , chipping away at the 'oppo' ..
If they are the small stack, only call their all-in bets with at least two picture card, or medium high pairs, or possible A 9 upwards ...
The best I can say is use your 'sixth scense' and what your gut feeling is in that moment

Nice win Dobie ...

Could be the start of a good run ....

Well done Dobie ..

To be honest the HU is the easy part ..
Your obviously playing well because the hard part is getting into the money ..
The first couple of hours is the 'make or break' time in tournies..
