I understand where Windy City is coming from. I play HU a lot and the most annoying players are those who are really passive and loose. They take forever to beat because they never raise and when you eventually do get them in with a 70-30 it seems they often suck out.
The best player to play is the guy who has some idea of what he's doing but no knowledge of pot odds or the hand values in short table situations. Guys who think that they should fold their mediocre hands when you're bullying them cause the blinds are high.

They "often" suck out because it IS a 70-30 and you remember your losses more than your wins. That's poker..you gamble. All you can do is take the better gamble most of the time.
And BTW I play my fair share of heads up play and LOVE playing against the type of player you described. They never raise so I either fold my small blind if I don't have a hand/check my crap hand or raise when I have a hand that's probably a favorite. Point being when I have good hands I see flops with an ample amount of chips in the pot, and when I have bad hands I get out of the hand cheap.
