These two players have made a deal. Team Angle just wants the game to end and will be all in PF with any two, no matter whether he is doing the calling or shoving. wakeup41 is playing for TLB points.

Which hands should wakeup41 play to maximize his chances of winning? He obv could play anything > 50%, but with the blinds at only 20k/40k, should he play only hands that are greater than 55% against a random hand? Greater than 60%? What if the blinds were 100k/200k? Is there a formula to determine the optimal strategy? Here are the stack sizes.
