The Tournament Trimmer (v1.1.1w) was developed by JeffreyGB at http://www.FlopTurnRiver.com.

HU with relatively deep stacks is very read dependent, and only you really have those reads since you've seen how opp plays during the earlier parts of the tourney. To that extent it's a bit hard to comment but here goes.

Well played overall. I liked your preflop and postflop aggression. Anything I don't comment on is fine.

18. (QTo) - I'd raise it preflop.

19. (A4o) - Could be a raise or a fold too depending on reads. If opp has been very LAggy then raise it, if they've been super nitty then fold. Calling isn't terrible but the problem is you're playing OOP with a hand that may be dominated by whatever opp is raising.

20. (A5s) - C-bet flop for 700-800 after opp checks. Turn is fine, on the river just put opp all-in rather than raising that small amount. If he likes his hand enough to bet even though the flush got there, he'll call a push. I think you could have ended it here.

27. (92o) - mix it up a little. You've basically led most flops when you're first to act, check sometimes and bet the turn instead.

33. (95o) - don't like the flop call with just a gutshot. Just dump it.

35. (Q8s) - nice.

37. (43s) - check/raise the turn all-in. Looks like a bluff, you might well get a call. You REALLY don't want to see a fourth fall on the river.

38. (96o) - I'd just check it down on the river. A high beats you here and if you had caught any piece of that board you would have bet earlier.

43. (K3o) - I'd dump it preflop rather than calling. Opp has been playing pretty tight and not raising all that much preflop (unlike you!). I don't want to play K3o OOP against this kind of opp.

44. (J7s) - bet the flop. You've been leading the flop very often previously as a bluff, one of the benefits of having done this is to do the same with a strong hand thereby allowing opp to try to pick off your bluff.

45. (T7o) - fold the river. Why call here? You have nothing but T high, you're not beating very much at all.

49. (K2o) - I'd dump it on the turn, you're very likely beat here.

56. (87o) - fold preflop. Again, opp has been pretty tight. As played, lead the flop like you've been doing previously.

58. (76s) - fold the flop There will be better spots. I'd check/fold the river too with bottom pair, there are an awful lot of hands that will call you river bet that beat you.

59. (64s) - given pot odds you have to call his push, no choice.

I think that if you call pre-flop out of position with ace-rag, you have to be willing to put some chips into the pot with ace high if you miss, otherwise what's the point of calling when you'll miss the flop most of the time. Hand 19 for example, that flop probably missed him too in which case you probably have the best hand. I'd call that bet and I might call another bet on the turn depending on the card. If you're not willing to do that then fold pre-flop.

In a heads-up match the more aggressive player wins more often than not so you should NEVER check-call the flop with something like a baby flush draw or a gutshot. The way you played the flop on Hand 33 and Hand 37 is bad, if you want to put more money in the pot then you should be the guy betting out on the flop instead of checking and calling. It's OK to check-call the flop if you have a pair and you know your opponent is betting with nothing a lot of the time when you check to him, but don't do this with a crappy drawing hand.

Hand 45 - really confused why you called the river with ten high, even if he's bluffing he's probably beating you.

Also, when one of the players has less than 10 big blinds left you're pretty much playing preflop allin-or-fold poker which means you shouldn't be limping in from the small blind with garbage hands like 52 suited. This is OK when you both have bigger stacks though. You should never make a small raise and fold to an all-in like you did in Hand 53, when one of you is that short. You'd be surprised how easily you can dominate a heads-up match against a lot of bad players who fold every time when you go all-in every time and then when they finally call, sometimes you win anyway and even if you don't, they're usually so short by then that you can resume dominating them after you double them up.

I'll comment on what Tai said here just because he has more details about specific hands than mcatdog does. Not to say I appreciate the input any less, I DEFINITELY need all the help I can get, just saying there's more volume to work with. Thanks to both of you for your comments and I will try and put it all to work for me.

Essentially the opponent is SUPER weak postflop. Not that I am saying I am a postflop master, but it basically seemed that if he doesn't have a hand, he doesn't continue postflop which include not making c-bets and the like.

Well played overall. I liked your preflop and postflop aggression. Anything I don't comment on is fine.
Thanks for the kind words sir!

18. (QTo) - I'd raise it preflop.
Not raising hands like this comes in part from watching too much TV and seeing the pros in the national heads up championship who could play circles around me postflop limp strong hands like this HU.

20. (A5s) - C-bet flop for 700-800 after opp checks. Turn is fine, on the river just put opp all-in rather than raising that small amount. If he likes his hand enough to bet even though the flush got there, he'll call a push. I think you could have ended it here.
You are correct, I most definitely could have gotten him all in seeing his hand now. If I had c-bet that flop I would have been facing a possible rrai. Of course looking at this after the fact it is easy to say this.

27. (92o) - mix it up a little. You've basically led most flops when you're first to act, check sometimes and bet the turn instead.
I was actually thinking this exact same thing when reviewing the HH for myself after the match. Point taken.

37. (43s) - check/raise the turn all-in. Looks like a bluff, you might well get a call. You REALLY don't want to see a fourth fall on the river.
Good point, I'll try and remember this in the future. A baby flush like this would be easily forfeit if another heart fell.

44. (J7s) - bet the flop. You've been leading the flop very often previously as a bluff, one of the benefits of having done this is to do the same with a strong hand thereby allowing opp to try to pick off your bluff.
This was a case of me over thinking things I think. This was my way of mixing it up, although by doing so I could let him catch up by catching a Q or higher on the turn.

45. (T7o) - fold the river. Why call here? You have nothing but T high, you're not beating very much at all.
I played this hand like I was brain dead basically. I looked at it after the match and was wondering the same thing.

49. (K2o) - I'd dump it on the turn, you're very likely beat here.
I honestly don't remember what I was thinking here, but it did work out in the end

56. (87o) - fold preflop. Again, opp has been pretty tight. As played, lead the flop like you've been doing previously.
Basically at this point I was thinking that villain was so weak postflop that I was willing to call with just about anything. He had previously raised and then not c-bet on the flop and consistently folded to postflop aggression. Agreed, I should have lead the flop rather than giving him a chance to catch up.
