heads up SNG starting hand requirement

Not sure if this should be in the Online Poker forum or not, but anyways...

Final two people in online sit and go, player A has 6000 chips, player B has 2000 chips. Blinds are 100/200. Every hand player B goes "all in" and player A folds waiting for a reasonable hand. Player B keeps stealing blinds.

What is a minimum hand for player A to call when the player B is being aggressive?

Thanks in advance.

If he does this three hands in a row, I'd call with 22+, Ax+, K9+, QJ.

If you want to be a little tighter, you could make it something like 55+, A7+, KJ+

Definitely any ace, any decent king, high connectors (T9s, J10s, QJ), medium pairs (possibly low pairs if you're really annoyed).

Re: heads up SNG starting hand requirement

w/ 6000 chips & only 100/200 blinds you have time to wait.

I believe Q7 is the average hand (or close).

You could literally fold 12/13 consecutive hands at that blind level and still maintain the chip lead...not that it would ever get that far

Re: heads up SNG starting hand requirement

Any ace would be a call. Any pocket pair....King/9 or higher..Two face cards...even suited connectors I might think about.

You have so many more chips and the blinds are low enough that you can wait 10 hands if need be to get a good hand to call with

Your question means that when you are the SB/button, you are always limping in, and then letting him steal your chips with the all-in bet. Weak. Do you own stealing when in the SB -- cuts your problem in half, and keeps your stacks relatively even until you clash. When you're the big stack, be the aggressor, not the defender.

Use the suggestions above when you are responding to his all-in bet.
