I've just incorporated the nash equilibrium into my HU game and found it a little silly that I would play K7o reasonably aggressively, then all of a sudden fold it when I've reached 20BB effective stacks.
I think folding K7o at 20BB is too passive. Doing my normal min-raise with these sort of hands then pushing all the 20+ hands is -EV because an observant player would realise I'm raising my weakish hands(hopefully that makes sense)
I'm thinking I can one of two things:
Ignore the nash equilibrium when at 20BB, start following it's advice at 15/13BB. So NO pushing from the SB until at 15/13BB
I think this is the better idea of the two. When at 20BB start pushing hands wider than the nash equilibrium suggests; I think this works because people at the micro/low stakes games(where I play) call pushes much tighter than they should, particularly for the first few pushes they are going to give me the benefit of the doubt. By the time they are catching on to the fact I'm pushing wide the stacks should be around when the nash equilibrium advices.
If this is a good idea, how much wider should I push than the nash equilibrium advices? I'm thinking about 33%, more or less depending on the opponent and reduce the percentage by 2% after every push.
For example, K7o=16.1
16.1* 4/3=21.5, so that's a push
Now a few hands later I get K7o again. I've pushed 4 times so far, so instead of raising the percentage by 33% I'll raise it by 25% (33-4*2=25)
16.1*5/4= 20.125, so still a push
I'll probably push 10% more than the nash equilibrium suggests regardless of how many times I've pushed, more so if the player is being nitty.
What are people's thoughts on this?
