Default Re: How to play NLH headsu sng when the blinds reach 50/100 (5-10 doll

NOOOOOOOOO.

Your equity is not what it seems. I already analyzed that open pushing with 60% of your hands gives you a 55% edge. This may be okay, but it implies that your opponent is willing to call with any two.

Yes, you are stealing the blinds, and when you do this, you may have an over-all expectation of 52%, but you have to consider the rake here. Also mind that you opponent can adjust properly on base intuition.

With shoving 60% of hands, your opponent can call about 40% of his hands and win 58% of the time. None of these are exactly daring calls, mind you. Shoving every hand is going to be a losing proposition. You may get lucky and suck out, but you will be dominated far too often. The limited time-span of husngs do not lend themselves to well to the ICM or SC numbers.
