Default Re: Heads Up Game Theory exercise

Optimal play would result in each player winning 50% of the time, just like optimal jam-or-fold does.

If you are betting any two cards, then I have trouble believing you are playing optimally, and I believe the fact that you're not taking the blind into account is leading you to believe that you are.

If MoP takes the blinds into account, then you should as well. In a jam-or-fold situation, you don't get to decide whether you're going to post the blind before you get dealt cards. Yet once you have cards, you have to decide whether to actually jam or fold. If those calculations take the small blind into account (and omgwtfnoway says they do), then you would have to take the small blind into account in your situation as well.

If betting 100% is not really optimal, then it should be easy to find a number where your opponent can still play optimally, but that results in a greater EV than betting every hand.

Searching for that right now, using the ways I know.
