But, as far as your experiment goes, I didn't get it and still don't. So, you've systematized what is already a crapshoot anyway. Heads up is all about exploiting small edges. The better player already has an edge. Maybe you've taken away an opponents edge. Maybe you've exploited your edge in a different way, or negated your edge but shifted it. Who the ef knows? As I said, I never really understood what the point was, anyway.

It's pretty simple actually: this strategy is clearly optimal against someone who folds WAY too frequently. Against a less extreme (but still too tight) opponent, the optimal strategy would be to push x% where x is pretty high, and this strategy's still +EV.

The proper counter to this strategy, unlike what Daliman said, is to call with all hands that have sligtly less than 40% equity against random hands (the higher the blinds relative to the short stack, the lower the neccessary equity). From these stats, and from a few other posts about the 215s, I'm pretty sure that the majority of the players at the 215s are able to do this, although you can certainly play inoptimally and still have an edge over this strategy (I bet calling with 50% or better hands wins with 10x BB).
