I was playing a loose-passive player HU at a live HU tourney (a bracket). Things didn't go as great as I expected.

To beat a calling station, you have to value bet. But in HU, you barely make hands. Am I supposed to be value betting King high and hope my opponent doesn't make a pair by the inevitible showdown?

BTW blinds started 2/4 with 100 chips and increased every ten minutes. 3/6,4/8/,5/10...
