Why I lose at 5/10 this month
Just going over messy hands in the hopes I learn something.
HAND 1)
Early in a HU session, no reads or stats. I believe he's a HU semi-REG.

Stacks:
BTN Bloeffer ($1242.00)
BB Hero ($985.00)
Pre-flop: ($15, 2 players) Hero is BB
Bloeffer raises to $30, Hero raises to $105, Bloeffer calls $75
Flop: ($225, 2 players)
Hero bets $123, Bloeffer calls $123
This cbet is too small, I should be betting bigger because thats what I'd do with the rest of my range, I'm not worries about being committed to calling if he shoves and I want to utilise as much fold equity as I can while my pot equity is at it's highest point.
Turn: ($471, 2 players)
Hero bets $135, Bloeffer calls $135
My thoughts here were that I wanted to set up to shove any river with about 3/4 PSB left behind. However what I didn't realise at the time was that I'm basically committed to calling a shove if I bet any amount at all here so either checking or betting bigger are probably better options than what I did. I don't like checking though because this is a really good bluffing card and I have enough equity that a bet of some description has to be +EV. I think the best line here is probably just betting $340. Important to note that if I had bet bigger on the flop the turn would have been a lot easier.
River: ($741, 2 players)
Hero bets $622, Bloeffer calls $622
Worst card in the deck to shove, this is obviously an easy c/f but I R TILT I ALL IN.
HAND 2)
Villain is like 47/40/2.1 over 145 hands. We've some how managed to stay out of each others way up till this point.

Not the best flop in the worlt to cbet with this guy behind but I can't just c/f every flop I miss and let him run me over.
Turn: ($215, 2 players)
Hero checks, CO checks
I've no idea why I checked this turn. Should be a really easy bet. There were no draws on the flop (so nothing to check raise), it's a good double barrelling card (which he might know), if I c/c an aggro guy like this bloke will put me in nasty river spots, he's too lose and probably likes to call too much. b/f is the right line here.
River: ($215, 2 players)
Hero bets $144, CO raises to $528, Hero calls $384
No idea why I bet and no idea why I called once I did bet.
HAND 3)
This had is going to look super lol to everyone here but the guy it's against is (was!) a good friend of mine and we have some ridiculously confusing over betting history. That said I knew he has a draw when he bet the flop but for some reason I just has a total brain meltdown on the turn even though I knew the diamond smacked his range. On the river I though the Ace was a great bluffing card for him. This was more like a brain misclick than bad play.

HAND 4)
Heh another brain fart. Turn is an easy bet/call but I thought that he bet the flop and I called and then c/r the turn in which case his range is stronger. idk I just haven't been concentrating lately or something.

This one was pretty LOL but let me preface it by saying that I actually have seen this guy make a huge 4bet like this and then fold to a shove before so knowing that I'm not sure if it's terrible or not. I'll include it anyway because it's at least funny.
