Re: Gigabet Match 5 of the $22s - Analyze his heads up play
I have a question for you Praying Mantis, and I am being serious about it. I see what you are saying but was wondering if you knew that your opponent literally never raised, ever, before the flop, but would call with a very wide range, how would you play? Surely you are passing up better chances by simply pushing pre-flop.
I do not mean to simplify this question, but am just trying to understand it better. And I also do not think it is too outrageous to claim that opponents never raise pre-flop, because it happens all the time at the $11s. Thanks.

If I told PrayingMantis that I'd either give him $5 today or $500 tomorrow, he'd take the $5 today and justify it by saying that it's never okay to pass up a +EV proposition.

Re: Gigabet Match 5 of the $22s - Analyze his heads up play
If he never raises PF but only limps or something you can and should push against his limp with a wide range.
If he always folds pf when first to act, i.e, practically sitting out when on btn, I can't see how he's also calling with a wide range as you say. Generally, you can adjust your pushing range according to his calling range. If he's a very loose caller you should obviously narrow your pushing range according to blinds. But there will still be a point when you will be making unexploitable pushes, and the fact that he's not aggressive otherwise will not change much because you are not able to steal from him easily if he's a calling station.
