Ante in NLH HU
Got a few technical questions regarding how we should build our preflop ranges when we play HU 100bb deep with 0.5BB ante.
First of all I think BTN should open his whole range, given the fact that there's so much money in the pot already.
Let's say BTN uses 3.5X as a standard open, that means his required equity should be 37.5%, the same as he would need to open 2X in a regular game.
From BB's perspective, he'd have to put 2.5BB for a total pot of 8BB, so he's required equity is 31.25%, the same as he'd need when faced a 2.7X open in a regular game.
My main questions are if BB should play his range accordingly to vs a 2.7X open in regular game or maybe go even wider than that, given the fact that BTN's range contains 100% of hands so he's gonna fold a lot agains 3bets? And if that's the case, should BTN now adjust by 4betting lighter or he should stop opening the bottom 10% of hands even though that are most likely +EV to open? Or maybe implement a complex limp strategy?
What other adjustments should be made in this game also given the fact that stacks play shorter?

You should be doing some limping and some raising. I would suggest you get Pokergo and watch the 2017 300k super high roller bowl heads up match between Jake Schindler and Christoph Vogelsang. They both play extremely well and the format is the same as what you're talking about.
