    But if the man has more chips than you (even with a worse hand) you have at best a 33 percent chance of winning....as i have been saying why this is the case i am unsure!
    Not mad and still getting entertainment from my meagre BR but am seriously contemplating excepting this as the norm and am becoming acutely aware that this will have to become part of my strategy.If you can't change the game change your game.I shall post the hand i get knocked out with tonight it will be (i have absolutely no doubt) me being all in against a bigger chipstack with a superior starting hand that inevitably bites the big one. 
    Finding it difficult to make the change as the maths and odds tell me i shouldn't.Will trial this next week and see how i get on.
    Basically if i play a few micro games and find by increasing my range against the lower chip stacks and it works i stand to increase my BR.If it does not work it means i just get knocked out earlier rather than on the bubble (as usual) that way i don't feel so hacked off a blatant win win scenario for me i beleive.

    No whilst i agree the odds should be 92/8 on the fact that he has more chips than you seem to shift the odds on here.I beleive that when all in against a bigger chip stack even with a superior hand (for some reason?)you are very unlikely to win any more than 33 percent of the time.
    Can only go by what i see and this is what i am finding.Look for it yourself if you like.Your posts would sugguest that this is happening to you already but like myself i cannot find any reason for it happening.I stand by my call that the big chip stack has an advantage when heads up.
    Make your own conclusion it's not stopping me playing just having to adjust my game slighly.
