Standard Heads Up Question

[Mosselmaniac]

Hi guys,

I'm getting more and more attracted to HU SnG's, small stakes. I'm talking about $5 + $0.25. I love the fast paced action of heads up and the psychology of the game.

Anyway, i'm dealing with different kind of opponents. We all know them, loose aggressive etcetera. It looks like i don't have much problems with loose guys who call my preflop raises like all the time and fold my flop bet when they don't have top pair.

It becomes more difficult when the opponent is so very tight it gets annoying. I raise like every pot 3x BB, and in like 90% of the cases the opponent folds. I'm playing on Everest, where the stack size is pretty awkward. You start with 100 chips, and the blinds start at 0.50 - 1. Every 10 minutes they double up.

Anyway, imagine me raising almost every hand, and the opponent folding in 90% of the cases.

1) Is this a good play for me, to steal every blind? I mean, that 1 chip isn't going to give me a huge edge is it? But it looks silly to just limp in with my monsters, when you raise every pot.

2) If the opponents raises me, i'm delighted to see a flop. However, my mind sais: "Fold! Alarm! He's never raising!". So i fold in most of the cases. Also, when he calls my 3x BB bet, or maybe even more in the case of the 1 chip big blind.... it will set off an alarm too. However, most of the guys fold when they don't hit the flop, so i make a continuation bet in most cases. When he DOES hit it, and comes over the top of me, i have to give the guy credit and fold to his re-raise. He wins a big pot and we are almost even again.

But still, how do you play those opponents? Are you going to be so patient, to steal every blind and hope he'll blind himself to dead? The $/hour will be so low that way, and it will destroy my fun of playing poker, raising every hand to a folder.

Thanks for the answers.
