My HeadsUp for the title experiment.

[The Yugoslavian]

I think it means that Daliman is not exactly sure what the blinds usually are when he's heads up. Thus, this would just be an approximate guess off the top of his head.

At least, that makes sense to me, he could certainly be talking about how much limit poker he thinks Sklansky plays, [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

Yes, sorry, I should have quoted. It's in reference to my approximation of blind levels when i get HU.

Also, I 4 table.

Horrendous night tonight. I don't remember the last time I went this card dead around the bubble and in the $$$. -2200 tonight

Anyways, the sordid details
4 HU matches
8495 total chips (.......)
0-4.

Cumulative totals.
16 HU matches
55600 total chips(80k is par)
6-10 record.

The decent luck hath ended. Bah

That makes both of us. Had a "run" of 6 bubbles in a row tonight, every last one with final chips in as a fav.

Now, I don't know if the STEPS tourneys are directly involved, but with clearer waters than usual, I was able to book a $4300+ win tonight.

Anyways, on to the numbers, looking a LOT better now. I happened to go 7-1 HU tonight, added with an 0-1 from the 4 SNG's I played Saturday night, putting my HU record back in the black, which I'm beginning to appreciate more coonsidering my avg chip count at start of HU.

9 HU Matches
50916 total chip(9160 in one of them! PRESS PRESS PRESS!)
7-2 record

Overall totals
25 matches
106516 total chips(125000 is par)
13-12 record.

Average stack starting HU is thus far 4261 a quarter of the way through.

[Daliman]

Decent night tonight, solid, if unspectacular.

7 HU Matches
30837 total starting chips
4-3 record

Overall totals
32 Matches
137353 total chips(160k is par)
17-15 record

I've thought about the benefits of using the all in everyhand HU strategy once down to 2 for a while now. Although I have not tried it. I go in probably 75% of the time as it is now.

I have a relevant question here though. What is the minimum blinds where this strategy is close to optimal. If the blinds are 150/300, then going all in every hand is a bad idea because your opponent has a chance to catch a hand. I've set the bar at 250/500, although 200/400 might be the level. What are your thoughts or anyone else's?

i play SNGs @ pokerstars, and i like to set an allin or fold standard when the smaller stack is about 8-10 xBB

I tend to agree with you. I barely push at all 150/300, and about half as much as 250-500 and above at 200-400.

Great numbers, do you mind quoting how many total SNGs you play for those HUs? Just curious.
