No $hit. The advantage to heads up play in a game where the stack/blind ratio is so small is making your opponent fold more hands then he is supposed to.

Thats why a pushing any two strategy while heads up isnt too far from optimal.

The secret to heads up poker. Voila!

This response makes you think you didn't read my post.

That, or my post is worded even worse(ly?) than I thought.

Its exactly what your post implies, except I would use my statement more as a fundamental theorem than yours.

And I disagree in NOT pushing as the small stack. Why? The same reason you start making desperation pushes at level 4/5.

Make your opponents fold is key to HU, and this applies whether you are a big stack or a small stack. And the way to apply maximum pressure for them to fold is to go all in.
