I'll try this from now on. I suck at Hu's situations.#3

The table only goes up to R=7, but SAGE is supposed to be used with a shortstack of R=10 or less. So what happens with R=8,9 and 10?#4

Still no answer to my question...#5

good question ^#6

i would just apply the rules for R=7 to R=8-10. thats how i would interpret it?#7

or follow trend and extrapolate#8

You can use the push-fold charts for R>7. Not SAGE. You can try to make a new chart yourselves for 7<R<12 and calculate the values from the push-fold charts.;)#9

Now i dont know which table is correct... This table says to play loosely on BB, and for example this http://www.cardplayer.com/cardplayer-magazines/65582-19-2/articles/15250-are-you-sage-getting-an-edge-in-heads-up-no-limit-hold-39-em is looser on SB... Am i missing something?#10

couldn't you just use ICM for this?ICM learns you the same thing.. doesn't it?

The ICM and SAGE seem to disagree slightly on the additional 'value added' by connectors and/or suited cards.Should this be allowed for in SAGE calculations?

SPADES1, 03 Feb 11 23:12
I agree with the last remark, in fact in SAGE 'counting method' 2 points are added in case of suited cards whilst no points for connectors (0 or 1 gap). It's a pity i don't know in detail the algorithm of sage.#15

Usually, the Nash equilibrium is a better situation for HU endgames nowadays. You can find the charts at: http://www.holdemresources.net/hr/sngs/hune.htmlThough the chart has "20+" for many hands, you generally want to start using Nash at around 9-12 BB's. Also, don't use the caller chart unless you're sure your opponent is using Nash as well. Use the pushing chart though, it's great.

As a mathematics undergraduate, im kind of curious about what motivated this model. Any reference?
