Hey, an actual NLHE game theory question/simulation.

I'd settle for knowing the if SB limping/min-raising is (essentially) dominated by pushing and/or how much EV the BB loses by just pushing anything he would have called a push with (for each effective stack upto say 15BB), but creating a good post-flop heuristic is the hard part.

This is something I've looked into a great deal. I've run some simulations that allow limping and mini-raising in addition to pushing. The optimal play seems to limp fairly frequently, push moderately, and rarely mini-raise, however... The EV gain by allowing these additional options is very small compared to a player who is confined to jam/fold options.
