Strategy question, HU as shorty against tight/passive
Hey guys,
so I had this really weird SnG yesterday which took over 2 hours (no turbo). I managed to get ITM and got in the HU with about 3600 chips villain having the remainder of 9900, blinds 100/200/25 with a few minutes left before they went to 200/400/25, which essentially put me into push/fold mode.
At first I played fairly standard HU, however after a few minutes I realized that he was super tight. So my strategy gradually changed to something like this:
- I pushed like a maniac, every half-way hand (every face card + x, SC or better)
- I folded total crap hands in SB (like 26o, which unfortunately I got quite a few of)
- When he completed, I'd played the hands I'd fold in SB (see above) and shoved if playable
- I overshoved his raises with half-way playable hands about 50% of the time, other 50% I played them and folded with crap
- I overshoved/pushed the flop if I hit anything on the flop. I did not however open pushed with total crap when I didn't hit
Overall I only had two really "good" hands AKs, which he folded to me and 44, where he folded to my overshove PF.
He folded to pretty much any aggression, still I just couldn't get the chip advantage. He led out every flop btw.
So my question is this: How would you play against such a super tight player with the goal to win the SnG in the end?
The thing is, he would only call a push with a premium hand like AA, KK, QQ and so on, which would probably crush you, only hope to suck out on him.
- Would you push with ATC all the time?
- Would you overshove his raises with total crap?
- Would you overshove on a flop where you have total crap (he completed to you) and missed? You didn't even have a draw on any flop.
Most of you will probably say: "You're so dumb, just push everytime if he's so tight and overshove his raises" or something. But in my opinion it's not that simple, remember the goal is to win ...
I don't have a HUD (since I'm playing on a Mac), but from the feel of it I'd say his stats were about (only HU):
15% of his hands he raised PF, 40% of the time he completed the SB, 100% opening the flop.
So, how would you play?
