Hi folks, sorry if this is the wrong spot for the post
I play heads up SNG's and I've come across some difficult players I could use some help with.
They are folding a few buttons or otherwise raising 3-5x. They are 3-betting fairly frequently usually to about 4/5x my open. I am min raising, but I have adjusted to limping with middling hands like J8o which I can afford to play a small pot with when they raise my limps.
Post flop they are c-betting pot size minimum, or otherwise donking into me for pot.
I have only started opening with hands that I want to play a big pot with, but I have been fairly card dead on the flop and have to fold, which I imagine is the right play regardless. If I have a hand and continue though, they sometimes shut down on the turn and I have tons of fold equity. Otherwise I'm just facing a huge bet. My c-bets are getting called quite lightly and often raised.
So I'm not sure what the strategy should be if I'm not making hands other than float and hope for the best? If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it. I've been value owned a fair few times so they're not exactly morons, I would just say extremely tight aggressive.
Thanks!
