Default Re: Jam-or-fold: (near)optimal for stacks up to 10 or 11BB?

[ QUOTE ]
In "The mathematics of Poker" Chen and Ankenman state:"

"Jam-or-fold is at least near-optimal for stack sizes up to about 10 or 11 blinds"

However, based on some calculculations (see: http://base.google.com/base/a/112163...41895488656518 ) I have reasons to believe that for stacks deeper than about 8 BB jam-or-fold is no longer (near-)optimal.

I am keen to get your (and in particular Jerrod's) comments on this. Did I make some computational error? Or is my assumption that (when not limited to jam-or-fold) playing from the small blind in headsup gives an edge (for any effective stacksize) flawed?

Not sure if it's related, but for Lee Jones' SAGE system 8BBs is also the point where the system becomes -EV. I'm not sure if this is related to other factors though, such as his point scoring system or possibly because he may have excluded some of probabilistic pushes/calls from the mixed NE strategy to simplify his system.
