In these two articles our NL expert  Remoh
dissects the Blind Battle situation in No Limit Hold'em. Since the
topic is quite complicated and very dynamic the articles are quite
extensive and split into two two parts. One article covers the
situation from the perspective of the BB where you are playing IP,
while the other covers the perspective of the SB where you are
constantly disadvantaged due to being OOP.
 Blind battles - playing from the big blind
Blind battles - playing from the small blind
Quote from the articles:
"Naturally, we have to ask why the blind battle situation is so
special and how we can adapt to it. We must consider the
special dynamics of the heads-up situation, since the blind battle is
little more than a game of heads up on a short-handed or full ring
table.
For you, this means that your game is very much
dependent on the game of your opponent and you must pay attention to his
play tendencies and consider how to exploit them. It is thus the case
that there is no standard manner of play of which you can be confident that it is
+EV."
