Default Re: Calling range for opponent who has gone all in first 4 hands in a

To be even more precise , instead of talking about win % , you should be talking about $/h .

This can get a bit more complicated if we include the notion of time .

So if you expect to win 60% of the time if you fold the first 10 hands and you guess that it should take you 15 minutes , then your
$/h = (2*buy-in*0.6 - buy-in -rake) /.25h

A buy-in for $100 would convert to (200*0.6-100-5)/0.25h = $60/h . In turn , you may convert this to $/hand . Lets say 100 hands is about 1 hour in heads up . Then $60/100hands =0.6/1hand
.

Surprisingly this tells us that you should call with almost all hands that have an equity of >= 50% against a random hand . After all , we would like to maximize $/h or $/hand and not our win % .
