While I don't do it with 83o as you've described, my short-stack heads-up push range is pretty wide when blinds are 300/600 and above. <BR/><BR/>I don't know if it's correct strategy or not, but my HU win rate in SNGs is currently 54% over 155 HU battles. My sense is that I win when I'm the more aggressive player, and lose when I'm not. When I'm the most aggressive, it forces the other player to eventually defend with very marginal hands.<BR/><BR/>However, I haven't studied HU strategy at all, and will be making this my next area of focus. So, I'd be interested to hear what anyone else thinks. There's a big part of me that believes my HU matches have been decided more by dumb luck than sound strategy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
