Puzzle: jam or fold game


slapdash

Recommended Posts

Heads-up NL Hold'em with $1/$2 blinds and equal sized stacks. You're small blind. However: (a) You are only allowed to fold or go all-in. (b) You know that if you go all-in, BB will only call with pocket aces. OK, if the stack sizes are very large ($10,000, say), you should only jam with pocket aces, as otherwise your opponent will win so much from the infrequent hands where he does have AA that it more than makes up for losing the blinds on the other hands. If the stack sizes are small ($5, say), you should always jam, as you only lose $5 when your opponent has AA and wins, but much more frequently (when he doesn't have AA) you win the blinds of $3. So as you gradually reduce the stack size, you should gradually add more hands that you jam with. As you do this: (A) Which is the first hand you should add to pocket aces? (B) And the next?
