so essentially, play tight early, then pushbot late?

Tight isnt right in shorthand, especially HU.
Play the early game for information. Make him think your an overaggressive donk, whilst trying to nail down his game.
The trick is to either grind them down and take those 60/40 and 50/50s, or you find a monster, hide it well and take his stack.
HU requires a lot of skills that newbie players just dont have. Gear changing is vital, reading the texture of the board, assigning hand rangers based on very little information and correctly betting hands (slow play has a lot of good to it HU, but it can be a killer if you wait too long to set the trap).
Of course, when it gets really short when the blinds are big, knowing good pushing strategy is essential.
If you want simple advice, here it is. When you play, play only 1 table, and commentate on it in your head, telling an imaginary person why your making your moves. Tell that person the reads you are getting. Explain the hand ranges you put your opponant on.
It sounds stupid, but it does work as it forces you to put into words what your seeing and doing.
