Are you aggressive or confident in one-on-one?

If my stack is smaller, I try to be careful. If I have a big stack, I can be aggressive, but in this case, the aggression still has to be justified.

I'm too aggressive, I'm impulsive actually and that most of the time harms me, I'm trying to change but it's difficult.

I play more hands surely, HU poker is my favourite format but I can't categorize my style by saying I'm playing blindly agressive or cautious. It's still positions, min raise and put C-bets at flop usually. See if you've catch a hand or can you outplay opp at later stages. Due stack size and time modes, or how de we call it I forgot.. turbo, slow or hyper modes I meant, they decide optimal strategies. I see these days, below 25bb most common play is limp many hands preflop at HU. Lower it gets, some 3bet shoves with pairs, ace highs, some king combos and suited cards. I mix some strategies, some tricks and stuff play that way. HU games sometimes give you confidience to play agressively and bluff more since it's not easy to catch a proper hand, however one big drop will put you in trouble for the rest of game.

It all depends on the game of the players at the table, each player needs his own approach.

Heads-up is desirable to play aggressively but it all depends on the opponent very often your opponent is so keen on aggressive play that you don't have to play aggressively but you just need to wait for the opponent's mistake and it will definitely happen !!!

The more you play the more confident you get. Takes a while to understand the rhythm of heads up. A bit like navigating a final table. Aggressive play is usually favoured but you can also hang yourself too.

Probably want to have both in your wheelhouse. Should be able establish confidence as hands progress with their play. From there you will know when to be aggressive.

I didn't win in major tournaments, but in those tournaments when we remained in the heads-up and I was offered to share the winnings, I agreed and will agree.

Heads up deep stack's the best. Start slow, know the V and get aggressive.

I am always confident, although I rarely play aggressively. In such situations, I just patiently wait for my opponent to make a mistake. This is the best tactic for me :)

Heads up could be much fun, wide ranges, hero calls, trains your senses, you play way more hands, you get to experience how people react to your moves. I find heads up to be very useful to practice your gaming style.

I love playing heads-up, they are my favorite moments playing poker. In heads up you have to be very aggressive and the hand chart varies a lot more.

Hi, friend!
For me, two things play an important role: the size of my stack and the information on the opponent, which was collected until the moment when we were left heads-up)

I always wait for my chance.
Aggressive when you have to be aggressive.
Patient when the stack of chips favors me.

Heads up, cash game, depends on strength of stack. LIke to be aggro with stack. Tourney, if beginning it is beneficial to be aggressive heads up to help build a stack.

I always play calmly and on the map, whether at a full table or one-on-one.
