Default theoretical heads-up question

you are playing a NLHE shoot-out heads up against a computer. You can only play one shoot-out and then the computer will explode. The computer is programmed to go all-in preflop every hand. Blinds are $0.5/$1. You both start with stack-size $X.

First hand: You are BB and dealt KK ... computer goes all-in.

At what stack-size X is folding correct?

Put KK vs atc into an odds checker. Take answer and use in combination with your bankroll and put figures into Kelly's (whatever the risk of ruin formula is) formula. Answer is X.

I guess I don't understand the question or am just exceptionally thick but I would never fold.

When the value of the blinds you will lose waiting for AA is less than the difference in equity between the AA v random hand and KK v random hand matchup multiplied by the average stack you will have after the blinding down.

You'll also have to figure your odds of winning versus this average blinding off value, so you'll need a strategy there also.

Your win% doesnt change the bigger the stacks get. So itīs always +EV to call.

[/ QUOTE ] so you would call here, a million big blinds deep, with A3o? since its +EV against a random hand?
