Default Re: When to raise H.U. against a player who never folds pre-flop

[ QUOTE ]
Also I'm not sure how many follow this but I have adopted the style of at least always limping from the SB as Harrington talks about in HOH2. So he is probably playing this same style, get a hand that is top 20% and come over the top every couple of hands to keep him from running over you.

I think it depends on the structure. In party format when it's headsup the blinds are often 250/500, if you call most of the time (vs a good opponent at least) you are going to lose 250chips when he raises allin over you.. which is quit alot in the 6s-33s.

HOH2 refers mostly to MTTs where early stages of headsup both players have huge stacks compared to blinds (Like D'agostino vs Ivey I think they both had 20-35BB's) In party, if it's even stacks at 250/500, each player has 8BB. Each time you limp/fold you are throwing away a shitload of chips.
