HU portion of tourney for review

Tried to take on board advice from the thread with Taipan. I came in short stacked so needed some luck, but there was some back and fowards.

Villian had hit some big hands. Took a fair number of chips off me with two shove backs from steal attempts with high blinds, so either very aggressive or a great run of cards.

haha, kind of funny up and down. Well, I need work on my heads up play so here's what I'd be thinking.

Hand 9: I guess it's do or die with bottom pair

Hand 10: I don't think I'd push this, if you run this in your fancy program against a loose caller is this +ev?

Hand 12: Same as 10, I'd call and then fold to his push, especially considering you're above 10BB...

Hand 17: Probably do or die time again.

double post - delete.

bjs,

Looks much better than yesterday. The only hand that's debatable is the one where you doubled him up with bottom pair but I probably wouldn't fold any piece of that flop either. If he likes to take stabs at limped pots then you could consider check-raising him but if he plays straightforward then your play is fine.
