If a guy is shoving every single hand...

[Talking Poker]

OK, so let's focus on the HU SNG, since that's what I was playing when this actually happened.

I disagree with your comment about calling with any 2 cards, because in the long run, all you are doing is flipping and losing to the rake. With SHORT(er) stacks where the blinds are meaningful, I get having to loosen your range way up... but with 75 BB deep stacks, you can certainly fold 8 straight hands, dropping you down to 70 BBs before calling with a pretty strong hand, right? if you win that, he's got 10 BBs and finishing him off should be pretty easy.

When this played out, I went with ranges close to what most people are saying (a little bit tighter), but was questioning myself after the fact, wondering if I should have been more patient.

FWIW, here's how the 6 $200+10 HU SNGs went (# of hands played before I called in ()):

AQs < 94 (2)
A8 < 55 (6)
KJ < QTs (2)
AQ < 42 (2)
AK < A2 (1)
AJ > K3s (1)

And then he quit me, took the $ to $10/$20 PLO and potted every action until he was > $5k, and then he went to $25/50 PLO and I had to stop watching.

As for me: 6 matches, 14 hands, -$860.

I know I said I was questioning if I should have played tighter, but obv all those hands are fine. Only the KJ and A8 are even remotely debatable, and I think those are pretty clear calls.
