Default Re: How would you play at the final table against a known superuser?

obvious answer has been overlooked.

kill the clock each and every hand to increase blinds. while you're deepish. ideally, you stick it out until you're 4-5bb deep where autoshoving is nearly correct.


until you get there, play only with big pairs, raise enough so that it's almost incorrect for him to call with anything. always fold to an all in preflop with kings/queens, because he will never expect you to fold a big pair and can only be value shoving. if he does call though, bet 2/3rds of the pot and fold to big raises if the board is safe, call if the board is very scary.

as the blinds get bigger, you should start shoving with some quality hands that are unlikely to be dominated. not expecting to be called - but rather, expecting that he is unable to call you - and therefor playing to pick up the blinds. when you are 10-15bb deep, add in AQ and AK to your shove range. play big pairs similarly to how you did earlier.
