How much different from true HU NL holdem is bvb fullring NL ; if HU is 100% of cards then blind v blind is what adjusted % and what might be a reasonable stack off range at bvb full ring compared to a reasonable stack off range HU .
i have some odds(can't remember the source) that ones pocket pair will run into a higher PP for HU
JJ 1/68 of time will run into QQ+
QQ 1/102 " " KK+
KK 1/204 " " AA
How might those numbers differ blind v blind Full ring?
Anyone have any thoughts or opinions?
You can look at it as the deck having fewer cards in it, but the number of available high cards is the same. For example, with KK in the small blind you can expect the large blind to have AA 6*2/50*49 =~ 1/204 times. If you reason that the button might raise with any ace but folded, then you could adjust that number to 6*2/48*47 = 1/188. If the same for the cut-off seat, then 1/173. Of course it depends on the ranges of these players, and overestimating this a little probably isn't that bad, as some earlier players would also have playable hands with an ace. Perhaps 2*6/44*43 =~ 1/158 might be about right, adjusting higher or lower depending on the players.
I'm not arguing for 1/158 for the aces, but showing you how you might estimate a number. The same method could be used for the other pairs, remembering that there are more unplayable hands containing kings than aces, queens than kings, and so on. So a better estimate for jacks may not vary that much from a HU situation. Perhaps the following might be useful against average players at a full table:
AA.......1/170
KK+.....1/90
QQ+....1/60
JJ+......1/50
