Looking for Heads up Advice |

In a previous post, I stated that I needed help with a problem, but I didn't explain myself right; I will attempt to seek this advice again. I play poker with all of my friends. We are all around 15-18 years of age. The buy-in is ussually $5-$10. We play tournament style No-limit hold'em starting off with 50 chips. We give each chip the same value of 1. Ussually there is 5-10 players in a game. Most of the players are very loose. I can use my style to get me to the final three or two ussually. 2nd place only gets money back and third place gets nothing, so i must win. For some reason, i always end up at 2nd or 3rd. I get my money back; but I never seem to win. I am looking for any advice as to how to play against others heads-up or 1 on 1. Any advice offered is greatly appreciated and will hopefully be used to win me some money.
Thank you,
Cardplayer
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

There is no tried and true method for winning heads-up. If you continue to play the way you do normally, you will be at the mercy of the cards; if you get good ones, you win. You have to play very aggressively, a'la Gus Hansen - push hands you normally wouldn't; any ace, any king, any suited connector, etc. On the button, always raise with an ace or a king - NEVER let your opponent check to the flop and catch something with a crappy hand (which he is likely to hold). When you're the BB, raise even more if your opponent just limps in.
That's about all you can do.
