A heads up nlhe hand from today

0

Phase (1) Raise every button
Phase (2) ??????? (Play completely tight-straightforward from there)
Phase (3) Profit

I'm sure that this villain thought that we were in a tough back-and forth game in which we were stealing and re-stealing pots from each other, but it wasn't the game I was playing, and I think that perception was caused almost entirely from the fact I never passed or called a button, even thought that shouldn't really be related at all. This hand was actually 3 handed, but it came just as a player joined after we had been playing heads up for a while, so psychologically iwe're still heads-up here.

Flop would have been a check-raise-getitin and expect villain to show up with plenty of hands like J4/89. River was a fake blocking bet intended to play on the above, and it seemed to work just fine...
