You're playing a heads-up sit & go. This hand comes very early.

You have T 5 on the button/small blind. What should you do? Your opponent is tight but aggressive, doesn't call blindly neither on or before the flop. In general, she plays really well post-flop.





Fold
You'll play almost every pot when you have good position heads-up, so you shouldn't fold an average hand here.

Call

Calling isn't winning, aggressive poker either. If you know your opponent extremely well - and vice versa - you'll have to mix your game up by just calling with some monsters and semi-bad hands such as this one, but against an ordinary opponent, let's raise to maybe 3*bb, especially if she knows how to fold pre-flop every now and then.
