You're playing a hu sng where you and your opponent both start with 100bbs. The blinds remain fixed but the game only lasts 10 hands. After 10 hands who ever has the most chips wins the prize pool (or all the chips on table). What's your strategy for winning and what ranges are you shoving and calling with (that is if you feel a push/fold game is the only option)

I've already posted this once in STTF and it got moved to the HU forum. Figured I'd post it here and see what came out.

push/fold is pretty much the only option, since if you fold to a 8 BB raise they can just fold the other 9 hands and win

You're only "allowed" to fold 4 hands (or if you each fold 5 for a split), so push the upper 60% of you range and fold 40% for the first hand, and adjust accordingly whether you folded or pushed the first hand (e.g., if you folded, you're only allowed 3 more folds for 9 hands, so push 66% of your range on the 2nd hand.)
