on to poker. i've been playing some 100nl headsup again. i've played
quite some of it earlier this year and some last year but now i haven't
played for a long period and i'm picking it up. enjoying how big the
upswings are if you run good. though today i hit the first bumps
in the road.

Qhi calls shove for value?
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/480114

this opponent was really agressive and i think his opening range and
calling ranges pf were good. however he 3bet a massive amount. and he
was extremely agressive post flop with big bets.
he was kind of running me over, because in response i tightened up
a bit and was basically 3 betting him back with some higher cards
and calling his 3bets with those willing to get my stack in with
any medium TP. unfortunately i kept flopping undercards no draw.
when i made a stand with air i got raised everytime so that didnt
work out either.
in this hand i shoved A5 for value and because i didnt want to give
freecards. when he called i thought he had some middle pair.

this was another unfortunate hand.

88 vs 34 turning a straight. villain = kaboem
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/480116

i was tilting a little shortly after this match. cause of a combination
of him pushing me around with constant raises, me flopping nothing
and getting it in and getting crushed

but he left as soon as he was +2bi to me and i think, the way it
was going i was really +EV. definetely after i figured out what he
was doing and getting some insight in what he was calling down with/
raising with.

next opponent made everything up to me. at first he was running good
and beating me out of more money. then i got some back, and we got
pretty deep stacks. as you can see in this hand, i'm not that comfortable
with HU deep stacked so after some time i asked him to play on a new table.
when we were 3bi deep, i think. he agreed and i got another 2bi off him there.
though when we just started it he was quickly up 1bi.

99 calling down vs A7s
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/480169

i do enjoy the challenge of playing deeper, but the swings are pretty big
for my bankroll at the moment and though i'm interested i think its not
wise at the moment.

in the last 2 hands i was contemplating shoving/raising on the turn
if you have any idea how i could've played them better let me know.
