Default Re: At what point (HU) do you quit playing flops and focus on AI only?

I really want to read your original thread first before responding, but I won't.

do you never call PF

The answer to this is how well do you know your opponent? If your opponent will let you see a flop without reraising (unless you're trapping), then I will complete.

If your opponent will only call your AI's with only premium hands, then a strategy to just raise/push could be effective.

Besides the blinds, you also have to consider stacksizes relative to each other. For example I could break down my strategy by the following:

I have 75% of the chips
I have 25% of the chips
Chipstacks are equal

IMO, the best strategy is dependent on the situation which includes, relative stack sizes, blinds, and opponent.

The blinds just went up to X. At X, do you never call PF, do you only go AI or fold? What is X?

When discussing HU games, as the blinds increase to greater than 5% of the total tournament chips, the AI or fold can be an effective strategy.

Can there always be some play? Are there some hands you might just call with or just min-raise with? Does your opponent matter?

IMO, there is no one answer to this. But the most important factor is your opponent.
