Don't put your stack in on just TP?

Sometimes I just really don't understand high level poker..

They're playing HU, what don't you understand?

While I dont have any high stakes experience, I dont really see how this is that bad. Aba's opponent isnt really deep at all, and again, it is HU where so much comes into play that having a rule like "dont put your stack in on just TP" is going to hurt you a ton.

Ok I guess I was just overwhelmed by the high $$ then.. but I was expecting a bit more spectacular hands to go allin on the flop like that..

the games are aggressive so top pair is good alot

i bet they both thought the turn heart beat them.

2 draws on board, aggro game, 60-65bb deep, raised pot, tpgk.....looks pretty standard

yup, don't forget that it's heads up too.
