Re: New heads up poker game - best strategy?
Dude, even assuming the 8-card player has 88+, AKs every time he raises, it's still profitable for the 2-card player to push TT+, AJo+, ATs+, KQo, KTs+, QJs (possibly ATo, A9s, KJo, QTs depending on blind:stack ratio). 2:1 on his money is huge. If the 8-card player is bluffing at all the 2-card player probably starts calling with Axs as well. The 2-card player now plays back nearly 1/8th of the time, on average only a 61-39 dog in the hand even versus the 8-card player's premium hand range (and he's getting huge 2:1 odds that more than overcome that).
