HU Theory...Endgame

[jay_shark]

The fact that you have 2500 chips does not matter since you can only lose 500 . It would be equivalent if you had the same amount of chips as villain so we can assume that R= 500/60 = 8.333 according to SAGE . This implies that a raise or fold strategy against an expert player following SAGE would show a small loss in expectation . You're better of mixing your play by raising/shoving and limping depending on your opponent .

So this means that if your opponent would call a tighter range than SAGE recommends , then you're better off shoving with ~ the same hands recommended by SAGE and you may even add more hands ! Likewise , the opposite may be true if your opponent is fairly loose than what is considered optimal .

asq,

if u are not into SAGE u can also read mathematics of poker. it has a similar equity-based strategy that also doesn't really lean on "but if i lose s/he'll have more chips!" so u might not like it either

yea, jay_shark is QFT here, 2500-500 and 500-2500 are basically the same scenario, since in HU all you really measure is chip EV, and the effective stacks are 500 either way. Anyways, seriously, go out and find some winning players at the higher stakes, there are plenty of VERY solid players playing each night in the 220s+ and watch some of their end game, alot suprisingly play very differently, for instance i've seen jmac, BCM, and Genius all play end game very differently, so go check it out and see what you pick up, their approx % of shoving, or limping, and check they hands they show down with, those who call and who get called, thats my best advice, GL
