You're playing NL texas holdem heads up. You're the sb and have the button. Your opponent is a good player without any obvious big exploitable weaknesses. He has you covered.
If your stack is only 3 or 4 times the big blind there is no point doing limping or raising less than all-in. It's push or fold. The same strategy at 20*BB stacks will be easily defeated.
My question is how big do stacks have to be before you consider an alternative to push or fold? I'm looking at this question as an overall strategy for most of your playable hands rather than a tactical one off or unusual hand.
I think limping becomes a viable option before making a non all-in raise.
Thanks for any help.
