Theory question, heads up.

they are all terrible, they all fold too much from the bb, so you can fold and attack the next hand and the one after. holla

Isn't it ironic that we berate opponents HU play by saying they fold too much in the BB and we advocate countering these tight idiots by folding more hands in the BB??

(Not disagreeing with you, just thought it was funny)

Some people do have the strategy of pushing every hand in the SB and calling pretty liberally. You can usually tell quickly if this is the case. There are cases where I'd fold, but my default play is actually to call here, although I know everyone hates it. If you are playing someone who has a clue though you are definitely giving up $$ by folding here.

i am by no means saying its a bad call. i just think that even by pushing every hand from the sb you can have a slightly larger edge than by calling with 22 there. holla

[curtains]

You won't have that edge when you are playing me and I call you with 22 or K8o. You are giving up a lot against someone who is very aggressive heads up by making these tight laydowns, when the BB is 1/8th of your stack.

Some more notes - If your opponent has folded from the SB the past 2 hands, I think it's a lot more reasonable to pass up this edge here, as there is a greater chance they are playing sub-optimally.

If they push the very first hand it's headsup (Because now its more likely they understand to be ultra aggressive here) or have been pushing a reasonable amount, then I think you have to call and take the edge.

when i play against you, you wont make it to heads up cuz i would have buster yer arse on level 2. bwahahahahahahaha

[curtains]

I would crush you very easily. 4ip

[raptor517]

not if i push every hand. we would lose to the rake, so it would be a gigantic waste of time. bwahahahaha

muahahaohaohahahaohaohahahaoheheoheoha

He was pushing very often from SB with hands like J9, K5.

My question is more geared towards, what if both players are equally skilled and I'm certain he does not have a pair. then should i call or fold??
