Poker Push Fold Nash Equilibrium

I have been reading and studying this game theory and I think that for my particular niche of the poker world it makes little sense. I have been a successful Sit n Go player and I find that for the tourneys, stakes, and the players I play against that it dictates play that is much too loose for me.

There are some regs that I have played with frequently with whom I am knowledgeable about their particular ranges and I can make decisions based on that.

This can be a long discussion, but say for example I am in the cutoff with 16bb and I'm dealt 44. I only see this being profitable to push against the tightest of nits. There are so many players that will even call you even with a hand like K5s, 67o, Q 10o, etc that this is much too dangerous. Not to mention just running into premium hands. Even shoving with AJo with 16bb I would not do. It just makes so much more sense to me to make a small, standard raise of 2.25x to 3x and go forward with post flop play in position.

If a player picks up that I am playing a little tight with my calling range I will adjust accordingly, or if a player likes to frequently come over the top and shove my late position raises I adjust my play as well.

I have not spent a lot of time in the higher buy in tourneys and sit and go's- I usually play 10- 20 dollar buy ins. I think that at higher stakes there may be players that are adhering to this chart/theory in which case it makes sense for the purpose of "equilibrium" to pay attention. What are other players takes on this?

Your strategy seems very appropriate. It seems to me that fitting in with each player makes a lot of sense. It will prevent him from adjusting to you And hand 44 looks pretty good to play with katoff.
