$5.25 HU tourney for review please

Been running fairly poor so playing %5.25s until I get my confidence back. I think its mainly that I havnt been playing much, I'm making some bad decisions that I dont think I used to.

This guy wasnt great, I really felt I should have been able to put him away earlier, even after a stupid 'move' early on had me way on my back feet.

Any advice/feedback is appreciated.

I dont think I once bluffed the river after betting a draw this tourney. I probably should do that more, especially against someone who's shown he'll chase draws regardless of odds

I've got a straight draw and an overcard here, giving me 7 outs if he has a pair, but I thought this was more likely a bluff. Heres where I get my first glimpse of just how light he's 3-betting me.

I've been playing a lot of $5 HU on full tilt and I found hand 6 interesting.
Its typical of the sort of hand I end up spewing chips on. I normally win lots of hands early doors, get over confident and struggle to lay down a hand in that situation.
You try to push the opp around a bit but unfortunatley end up walking into a hand.
Cant offer any advice as Im nowhere near qualified, but I thought you did well when you were very short stacked. In my experience a lot of players go on tilt from there and push every hand but you didnt, the blinds were low enough to still play some poker.

which decision are you referring to when you say "poor decision early"

limping is so 2005

The decision to play this hand too hard I would guess

Preflop: BjsAust dealt 9 A
BjsAust: raises 40 to 60
PrinceCharls: raises 140 to 200
BjsAust: calls 140
Flop: K 2 6
PrinceCharls: bets 400
BjsAust: raises 600 to 1000
PrinceCharls: raises 350 to 1350 and is all-in
BjsAust: folds

The re-raise with just A high was costly to say the least.....
What would you put the opp on here, QK, AK ?

I was referring to calling the 3bet

With my STT background I dont mind playing shortstacked :).

Hand 6 where I tried to pick off a c-bet and left myself with 250 chips. I call it a poor decision because I think it was too early to make an aggressive play like that having basically no reads on Opp.

Which time? I do tend to assume opps are 3-betting me light sans reads otherwise at this level. Because I tend to raise often, people tend to 3-bet me to get back at me. I've seen some really light 3-betting (I've been AI pre against K4o before early). That said, its probably a weak point for me, but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to react if I need to give up a hand just because opp works out he can 3-bet me out of it.

Advice on that situation?

It seems to work v's these guys. Thoughts on how you'd play otherwise? Should I be raising every hand pre that I choose to play? Doesnt that set me up to be 3-bet with really weak holdings more often?
