I tried some HU the past two days. I guess I will stay away from that in the future. I dont think I played very bad but I am much better at 6-max so why not stick to my best game. In HU, I think my biggest leak is that I call to often oop. Today I also VB too thin because my opponent had a hard time VB himself and instead just C/C my VB on the river (but he also called down light so didnt want to give too much value away). I also ran pretty bad. He hit a ton of rivers that were just pure luck and when I had big hands I didnt get value from them.
Pre-flop the game was very aggressive and there was a ton of 3bets and 4bets. Therefor I guess I ran pretty bad there too when we came AI pre and I lost with AK vs AJ, setups like KK vs AK and I lost a few coinflips. After 2h I was down 6BI (on NL200) and threw in the towel. If I try HU again I will go down to like NL100 and only play as entertainment.

I quick update since last time. I was at the casino once more a week ago. I didnt play that great but the table was full of fish so I ended up a fair bit.
On the internet I havnt run that well. I think I have played decent (not great) but I have been outdrawed in some big pots and lost a couple of hands I shouldnt have. Around the table I always see like 4-5 really fishy players but I cant get there money! So on 6-max I am down like 5BI or so. Guess I will lick my wounds, go down to NL200 and just play some straightforward poker until I am mentally prepard to get back to NL400...
