    It is entirely opponent dependant, cant really give one specific answer that will work against different people's styles. All i can say is be more aggresive, make sure your the one raising and not bleeding chips by calling all the time. Position is also crucial, play more pots when your in position, its a lot easier. Hope this helps.

    Don't call, raise it up, your likely to be ahead with so many more cards HU, get your chips in and put the pressure on your opponent.
    Youl be surprised how many bets get through, its important to take the blinds at this stage, just dont get blinded down.
    Be prepared to push with hands like A2, hands that normally youd bin, if your nicking the blinds often your opponent will get frustrated and call with filth. Aggression is the key for me though :)
