Default Re: (11s and 22s) Heads up Play

I constantly run into LAG pushbots who are pushing with everything

You should be one of these. The blinds are enormous, once it's at 300/600 more than 11% of the chips in the entire tournament are in the pot before your cards are dealt. You have to make pushes to pick these up. Maybe not necessarily every hand, but pretty damn close.

I think i can isolate my HU problem to that because I tend to be able to outplay my opponent when there is more flexibility in betting and soforth

Here's the thing...if you're playing with blinds this size and you aren't pushing a lot then you're being outplayed. You really can't fear getting called by a better hand, because you don't need them to fold all that often to make pushing the correct play. You absolutely have to do this. It'll be streaky, but your results will improve.

The correct strategy changes depending on the number of people left and the blinds (among other things). In a way, this is the easiest part of the tournament and you shouldn't be getting outplayed. Just push.
