Re: Helmuth - Ferguson Head Up Match Theory Question
That is Indeed the question. But the answer is the same for game 10 as it was for game 1. Pushing with the right SC number is never wrong, but it may not be optimal. As to what to do if he moves in on you, well, what you need there is the Reverse SC Number [patent pending! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]]. This number would say that if you have holecards H and for an opponent that was pushing the top x% of his hands, you should call any all in up to $Y. Turns out this numbers isn't hard to calculate.
As an example, let's say you hold 23o and you're the BB for 2k and the button goes all in 2/3 of the time. You should call if the call requires less than 4.5K. If it's more then you should fold.
If you have Q5s in the same situation, then you should call any AI raise of up to 23.5k.
Of course, these numbers aren't the answer to optimal strategy. Just a way to find and plug some of the more severe leaks.
