Default Heads up problem vs blind man....

The statistics regarding the values of hands heads up vs two random cards got me thinking.

Many here will know the old one about a NL heads up game with no blinds and one player goes all-in blind every hand, what are his opponents chances of winning, and what is his best strategy.

Answer, wait for aces, 84.9% (since a tied pot puts you back where you were)

But what about a more real scenario, Ive kept the numbers limited to make it easier to discuss.

Blinds 1/1, Stack 50/50

One player goes all in blind every hand, what is best strategy for opponent.

Some hands that you might want to play with chances of winning:

AA 84.9
KK 82.1
QQ 79.6
JJ 77.2
TT 74.7
99 71.7
AKs 66.2

The full table can be foundhere

Remember, each time you fold, you effectively have 1% less chance of winning, so the best result will come from the %age of hands you are willing to play crossed with the %chance of winning the pot, and I can't quite figure it out.

What I am pretty sure of is that the result will be a little scary for those who insist that morons should never win.
