Default HU Blinds are 250/500 ($5)

Is this ok?

What about this? Villain raised (without pushing) a few times with the blinds really high - I never knew what to make of it.

i dont think this makes sense. id rather check and see a flop with 10+ BB HU. 87s doesnt play that well HU.

SAGE recommends jamming with 87s only if the short stack has 6BB or less.

I see the mixup with BB/SB. In this case id probably just fold, although if the BB is weak/passive, maybe you can call BB.

44 is standard and 87s is standard unless he is calling redonkulously wide.

Think about how often he's folding his weaker hands, your win % when called, and the fact that folding costs x chips, and you'll see why shoving wide is goooooot in hand 1.

Hand 2, 5 blinds, heads up, a pair, all in gooooooooot, dont bring that weak [censored] in my house crystal.

"SAGE recommends jamming with 87s only if the short stack has 6BB or less."

Really? I don't believe sage counts straights so it underrates shoving with sooted connectors.

Edit: Ooops, criticized crystal's article but was wrong [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img], apparently sage is only good for 7 blinds or less which is weird.

Rake - the point is that 76s is worth 22 "points," meaning you push with 6BB or less. Not the exact value of 76s.
