hello,
the thing is agression and your handrange should go to almost any2 but be careful of traps.and you have to have the right hands if you made your opponent crazy and he shoves after a typical (re)raise of you the bluffing factor is high, as you know that premium hands are very rare.you have to play a different style of poker.you should start always with a raise preflop and be wary i turned some HU at stars from ~2500 to the win and i think the opponent was very upset

in headsup many times it comes down to luck than skill, a single run can make or break your game. chip advantage is only good because you can afford to take risks and put pressure on your opponent, don't get overconfident with your big stack.

Take a search on google looking for SAGE system. This is a very usefull system which will help you to take some decision easier when you plays HU based on your and opponents stacks, and blind levels.
