Heads up Question

[Jack Sawyer]

When headsup at a 3:1 chip disadvantage, with about 15x BB in your chipstack, what's the best play?

Ultra-aggresive? Push Push Push?
See flop and play nice nice?
Push and Ax and Kx s or o?

Is it too early for any/all of this?

15BB gives you little breathing room but not too much, push any decent hand (Ax,Kx, QT etc)

I still think you have some time w/ 15x BB to play nicey nice....

Once I get to about 10BB my play depends on my opp. If I'm playing a rock I push with Ax, KQ, 66+ and try to steak their blinds

. If my opp is pushing a lot of hands I may wait for a decent Ace until I get to 6-7BB.

Once at that point it's push any decent hand.

Note that the pre-flop push-fold game favours SB if stacks are <10BB (because SB has a smaller forced bet), and BB if stacks are >10BB (because the value of position increases with deeper stacks).
At 15BB stacks I think you're giving up the value of your position if you open-push any hand you play from SB (i.e. when you have the button). If you make a pot raise you give BB a harder decision: push (knowing that your range doesn't include complete trash), call (giving you position post-flop), or fold.

I honestly like to min-raise a lot when the stacks around 15 BB.
