Default Heads-up on the end

I play a decent amount of heads-up sngs, but I still felt uncomfortable here and I'm not sure I did everything I could to win.

Situation:
Empire WSOP sattalite $100+10, ~130 players, 1st = seat 2nd = $0.

Heads-up with a 105k - 25k chip disadvantage. Blinds 500/1000 to start.

Opponent limps in on the button nearly every hand, folds maybe 1/10, raises around the same. Seems to call my preflop raises about 75% of the time. On the flop he plays decently but seems too passive. He's capable of check-raising and slowplaying though.

I'm not sure if anyone can offer any general advice that would be at all helpful, but I'd appriciate any comments about how to play in this spot, or heads-up on the end in general. I just didn't feel that confident in how I was playing.

Thanks.

Default Re: Heads-up on the end

good news is you have 25 big blinds, the bad news is you'll need to suckout at least once to win it.

My suggestion would be to make it 4k with anything reasonable then move in on the flop. Hope you win the first one and then play poker from there on out.
