[0,1]- all-in or fold two player tournament

[Ikke]

Nice post.

I have a few questions. First, at what stacksize is the positional advantage of the BB negated and will the SB have the advantage because he puts in less dead money (it could be that this will never be the case, since maybe at very low stacksizes, the optimum strategy will be all-in/call with any hand).

Also, the advantage of BB over SB seems to be in the 1% for t=20. Is this about constant or does it significantly deviate for different t's?

Secondly, I wonder how the maximizing strategy against the cash game matches up against the optimal tournament strategy. I'm not sure you've done these calculations, but they could be interesting.

And, if you have some spare time to waste:

Do you think it is possible to have some kind of a critical "test" to find out at which stacksize t solely preflop play will not be optimal anymore, and you have to take postflop play into account without actually calculating every scenario? Could the existence of such a test be possible, or can you say for sure that we are just left with calculating the optimal strategy for the most complex game (with postflop play, allowing reraises etc).

Thanks
