Beating Tight Players Heads Up
How to play against tight/ passive players in heads up SNG's
Tight players heads up are the easiest to play against and beating them should be fairly simple. Tight players don't raise much (unless they have a good hand), fold their small blind
more than they should and don't call bets with weak hands.
So how do we beating these tight players heads up? Firstly we can play 100% of our hands because any two cards against this player type can be played profitably. Why can any two cards be played profitably? Because they fold whenever they miss the flop and they'll
miss 70% of the time. So against these guys I limp about 80% of the time and raise the other 20%. The min bet, post flop is genius against these guys as they'll often give up and because you're betting min, your
bluffs will be super profitable.
Likewise, when these guys limp in, I'll often just donk bet (lead out) with a min bet at lots of dry boards, high card boards etc and expect to take the hand down a large amount of the time.
Things to watch out for vs this player type are things like calling his pre flop raises or raises in general. These guys seldom bluff and as such you should be getting out of the way unless you have a hand.
When they also call your min bets on the flop, you can be sure they have second pair or better (often a top pair) or at worst a big draw. They don't call very often so just give them some respect when they do and don't put any
more money in the pot unless you have a good hand.
