Default Play Nash HU or not?

Just curious if people here play nash eq head up at the end of SNGs? If so do you even at low blind levels or do you wait for a certain min stack to blind ratio?

I'll wait until someone is less than 16BB.

Nash is only optimal if your opponent is also playing Nash. Otherwise play to exploit your opponent's mistakes. If he calls too light, push less. If he pushes too tight, call less, etc.

I don't understand the second question. Do you mean: "When do you start playing push/fold?"

I almost never see an opponent play close enough to correct to even attempt NE play. What good is knowing K3s is a call against an opponent who is correctly pushing top 75%, if in reality he's only pushing top 25%?

So then are you pushing NE atleast? Pushing more than NE? Calling less than NE?

I call tighter because my opponents don't push enough. When they do push, I attempt to call with the correct range based on what I think they're pushing (duh). My opponents call too tight, so I push as much as I think I can without them adjusting. As long as I'm calling with the correct range for what they're pushing and they're calling me too tight, I win.
