Do you suffer from reading comprehension?

Did I not say that I was exaggerating when I said you don't have to look at your hole cards . The point I was trying to make is that your hole cards are of less importance at heads up high stakes since many hands don't even go to showdown .

There exists an unbeatable strategy for when you only know your own cards and don't do any modeling on the opponent. On the other hand, if aba didn't look at his cards I could beat him and I'm a ridiculously worse player than aba. I agree that hole cards matter less than in other forms of poker but they are still really important.

Maybe I read too much into your previous statement though, or came off as to categorical myself. Sorry about that.

Well kind of true, there is a unbeatable (notice this does not mean perfect or optimal) stategy for short stacked heads up play if you are the small blind.

It doesn't apply to the big blind unless your opponent is also playing a similar stategy (which is almost never the case) and it doesn't apply to deep stacks.
