Heads up in tourneys are usually a toss up on who gets the win, because blinds are usually high, and chips are likely to meet in the middle sooner rather than later.

How do you play heads up in tournaments? Are you aggressive? Do you go into all in or fold mode?

Any other thoughts?
 
In my opinion, the Heads-up tournament strategy requires some level of skill and adaptability. For me, I adopt an aggressive approach and also try to exploit opponents' tightness to my advantage.

I think exploiting players that play too tight is key to having success whenever heads up. However, getting too aggressive can you get caught in a situation where your behind. Battling it out, and trying to find opportunities to double up/go all in is usually my approach.
 
I always approach aggressively when there is a heads up. But my pattern would depend on what my opponent is doing. If I am at heads up with an opponent that is tight, I make sure to bluff more. If calling too much is their forte, I would consistently value bet.
