Playing a heads up sit and go against a guy who, every hand, minraises preflop is always annoying.

I don't think my ROI is any worse against them, but I, as of yet, do not have a coherent strategy re: how to deal with it. Hands that might be easy folds OOP to a regular, solid player (K 6 off, Q 2 suited), all of a sudden make me think twice when I know I'm ostensibly against a random hand.

So how do you proceed? Throw in a couple reraises until he bugs off, if he bothers folding to them? Call the minraise and play postflop poker? Open to all opinions.

My strategy would depend solely on how villain plays postflop, and not at all on if he's minbetting vs making it 3x (assuming stacks are pretty deep).

Some of the minraisers are doing it because they're good players. Some of them are doing it because they're terrible.

One for instance: I played a guy who would minraise pre, then pot three streets. I played almost any big card, because I know I can stack off with top pair, and I didn't play small connectors, because I can't really draw with them. I played that guy 16 times in a row, it was quite fun.

Anyway, minraising isn't something you need to "combat." Generally speaking, if the player plays well postflop, I treat his minraise like a 3x or 4x raise.

General questions like this are very hard to answer please post some hand examples or be a LOT more explicit.
