Default Supertight Tables

In a STT where all the players are very tight aggressive, it seems to me as if success will be largely determined by the quality of the cards each player receives. I'm assuming that you are playing with people you have no appreciable prior experience with. In cash games you have "the long run", where a small edge in skill will profit given enough time. In a STT, each tourney is over in an hour and the blinds increasing make you have to push with the best hand you can get once you become shortstacked. Even if Ivey or Helmuth played STT exclusively against very tight opponents, wouldn't their hourly rate be quite low? Just seems to me like typical STT structure curtails the long term edge truly good players have. If this is a donk statement, please feel free to flame me (but if you could add some good reasoning with your flame it would be appreciated)

u dont push the best hand, u push profitable spots. And if you have tight opponents most spots become profitable.

At a supertight table start trying to pick up blinds from lvl 4 onwards.

you will own tight opponents by dominating high blind, short stack play by appropriately shoving and folding when there is no other option. ICM rules all.
