(Assuming Party blind structure)

I tend to play according to my opponents heads-up. If we get in with smallish blinds (100-200/150-300) and I think I can outplay them on flops, I don't push nearly as much, assuming that they're also willing to play flops.

If you play someone that likes to push, that pretty much limits your options to push/fold as you can't afford to limp or min-raise and have it stolen from you.

If someone is outplaying me on flops, then I'll either go into push mode pre-flop or on the flop.

With larger blinds, you're pretty much limited to push/fold. Pay attention to how often they fold their small blind, as this directly affects the hand range that you'll be pushing/calling.

Push every small blind once the blinds hit 200-400. Before this raise constantly, but don't push EVERY small blind.

Don't get too clever. There's no time for trickiness the vast majority of the time.

And push if you're in the BB and the SB completes. It only has to happen once or twice before they just start folding to you /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Ah yes, sorry. And the third and final piece to this fantastically (really) profitable strategy.

Re-raise all-in every min-raise----unless they have AA, then you fold. /images/graemlins/grin.gif
