    Default NHL HU SNG - All in every hand

    I´ve been wondering if anyone could help me with this ratherly mathematical problem (althought it really happens time to time even on 20 dollars HU SNG).

    Say i play a HU SNG, starting stack 1500, blinds 10-20, and my opponent goes all-in every hand (he pushes from the button...if I call or raise from my button, he moves all in...and if I move all in myself, he would call me). Lets not take rising blinds into account to keep it simplier.

    Obviously there should be one optimal strategy that could be somehow mathematically proven. If anyone of you has some ideas, i´ll be glad to hear them.

    Nash equilibrium obviously doesnt even remotely apply this deep BUT I find it kind of gives you an idea of whats standard even deeper than what it's intended for. Example- After having a rough sense of NE I dont really feel lost against an opponet who seems to be shipping like 100% 30 bb's deep and that sort of shit(Or just how I should feel about the strength of my hand in general with shallow stacks). It's just a framework from which to build from. Can't link just google Nash equilibrium chart near. It's near the top of the list.


    Also I find terrible ppl who ship a ton in a row are going on mild heaters with alot of A high and broadway/k7s+ type stuff so calling a5o/k9 after a guy ships first 3 hands in a row definitely isnt good. Trust me i've done it like 50 MFKING times.

    it's way more interesting than that because you need to take into account the fact that he's gonna shove the next hand, so "fold and wait for a better spot" becomes very real.

    I don't know and I don't know how to work it out.

    my current view is that at the starting 1500 chips - 75 BBs, it´s fair to start tight and slowly loosen as my effective stack gets smaller,until about 4 BBs, when i simply can´t no longer fold

    also, it´s obvious that (medium and high) pairs are far more stronger than for example AKs, but i simply dont know how to take this into account

    i havent found any solution even in Sklansky´s books (full of maths), and this could be really helpful for optimizing my strategy against very aggresive opponents

    I don't really have an optimal strategy for this. I do however have a strategy that makes this a coin flip situation (50/50). Just go all in all the time too. If you do the same thing he does then it's up to lady luck. Or you could fold bad hands and go all in everytime you get something you think is nice. He goes all in everytime anyways. Even with crappy hands.
