Helmuth - Ferguson Head Up Match Theory Question

[9LIVES]

From this scenario, I clearly see an analogy at work:

Situation--Normal freezeout tourney, I am the big-stack, am head's up, and have my opponent significantly out-chipped.

The parallel is that in the "games won" category, you, in essence, are the big stack.

Therefore, I would play as I normally would if I had my opponent significantly out-chipped beginning head's up play. That play would be wholly contingent on my opponent's short-stack style and strategy, his mindset, and his overall willingess to gamble.

Assuming he was "desperate" and willing to push with a wide range of hands, I would play very tight and just pick a good spot. If he was patient and playing tight, I'd lean on him as hard as I could. If he doubles up, I still have the chip-lead [game-lead, in David's scenario].
