One good strategy for keeping your hands ready is to keep them up but hands open, palms facing the opponent. This looks more like you are trying to calm the situation rather than squaring up, avoiding unnecessary provocation and keeping at least some element of surprise. The most important part is situational awareness, always assume there's another attacker coming and be ready to escape.
