Default Hypothetical Final Table Situation - Two Players

You are down to two players in a large, multi player tournament.

You have $300,000. Your opponent has $300,000.

Blinds are $10K/$20K. You are in small blind and hold a pair of fives. You raise to $60K. Your opponent, without looking at his cards, reraises to $140K. What’s your move?

Would your move change if:

A. You perceive yourself to be a much stronger player than your opponent (i.e. you are a tournament professional playing a relative new comer – not an idiot, but someone who is not well known)
B. You are this relative newcomer and you are playing a top professional.
C. You just completed the blind and your opponent, again without looking, raises to $120K
D. If your opponent made the same move, but looked at his cards first, would this change any of your decisions?

Default Re: Hypothetical Final Table Situation - Two Players

I go all-in. I've got better than a 30% chance of having him dominated. He's got less than a 2% chance of having me dominated. The rest of the time, it's a coin flip.

Tough to find a better spot than that with the blinds so big.

For A, B, and C, I do the same as long as he hasn't looked at his cards. For D, if he has looked at his cards, then I would take into account what I know about him and how well I think he and I play heads up.
