late HU strategey question??

[Munchrs]

This is a two part Sit and Go question that looks at what to do in a heads up situation when the blinds are big compared to your stack and there is a big payout difference between 1st and 2nd.

Part 1) In a Sit and go when it gets down to heads up and the blinds are say 200/400 and you have 4k in chips and your opponet has 9500 in chips what is your stratregy?

a)Do you just push or fold?

b)What type of hands do you play?

c)How do you react when the blinds increase and you M ratio goes down?

Part 2) Now reverse the situation, you now have 9500 in chips and your opponet has 4k in chips the blinds are still 200/400.

a)Are you willing to sit back and wait for good hands or will you try and steal all the blinds?

b)What type of hands do you play?

c)How do you react when the blinds increase and you M ratio goes down?

Please label your answers with the corresponding number and letter and post your reply

a) Usually I just push (unless villian is really bad and I can exploit him a better way)

b) I play most hands, see Nash Equilibrium for exactly what hands to play and when

c) M?? I don't usually pay attention to M in sng's. I just count the blinds of the shortest stack and push according to Nash.

1a) yep.

1b) From SB something like this: ICM Nash Calculator Results
From BB: try to exploit whatever strategy SB uses by estimating his ranges and adjusting my push/fold ranges.

1c) push/call more hands.

Part 2 is (very very close to being) exactly the same situation, only the size of the shortest stack effects how you should play HU.

Ohk is there any posts that detail what exactly "ICM Nash" is??
