I then end up having to respond in kind or I'll lose them all.
Backhand > Stick Lift... Tie up > Backhand... Forehand > Tie up... Stick lift > Forehand

I generally go backhand, and if I see them on their forehand, I"ll stick lift, and if they go backhand, I'll push up. That normally wins ~80% of my draws.
