Low Limit Heads Up Games

I have recently been playing 50NL heads up and have made about 10 buyins in a very small number of hands.
Players seem to just be faar too aggressive or faar too tight/passive.

Another thing I noticed are that players do not seem to be aware of timing tells or bet sizes. I played one guy who called 4/5 pot bet on the flop then the low end straight draw with a QJ10 board with two spades. I was holding Q4s and this was a half staker just looking to gamble it up. The turn came a 7 i bet 3/4 pot leaving him with only $5 behind, and he flat calls! The river is another 7 and he shoves. Im guessing he has Q9 or a hand like that and we split. NOPE He shows 79 and takes the pot. He was nice enough not to hit and run and I got it all back in about 11 hands.

Here is another hand that really shows how great timing tells are. This player instantly bets pot and is bluffing EVERYTIME he does it. I get to call him down fairly light for the size of the pot.
