Re: HU with Huge Stack: How to Play?
[ QUOTE ]
Hi,
ok, this situation came up several times lately in my 30+3 SNG's at Party.
I was the big stack on the bubble and just destroyed my opponents on it, pushing any 2 because the other 3 were all kind of low on chips and nobody wanted to bust out in 4th.
Anyway, at one point on the bubble, the chips were distributed so that my 3 opponents all had about 400, and I had 6800 with 300 big blinds.
Ok, so then, the next person busts, and we're down to top 3. Then the next person busts and it's HU.
In HU, I have about 7400 chips and my opponent the additional 600.
How do you play in these situations with blinds at 150/300? Push any 2? become more passive and wait for a decent hand? Or how do you play?
I found myself having difficulty with that and even lost on several occasions eventhough I had such a huge chiplead.
Help appreciated!

When its that lopsided, there is no reason to push literally any 2. You know hes gonna call, so why push a hand like 26o that might have very tiny EV only to double him up 70% of the time when you can fold and find something thats going to win a good 15-20% more often usually the next hand.
Basically wait for something in the top 70% or so and go with it.
