Hand 1

Should I have played this more aggressively at some point? The whole thing seems a bit passive...

Interesting spot. I've only been HU for about 6 hands. Villian has only completed once before now, I raised him with KK and he called and folded to my C-Bet on an AKJ rainbow flop.

I'm tired, might go through some others tomorrow.

Hand 1 (ATo) - I definitely bet the turn. Why give a spade flush draw a free card? As played, I probably try to bet more on the river to see if opp will call, maybe 130 or so.

Hand 2 (AKo) - seems fine to me, I might make it 250 rather than 300 preflop as that keeps the pot a bit smaller in case you want to c-bet if you miss the flop. As played, I'm getting my chips in on this board one way or the other; I might bet a bit more on the flop and shove the turn but meh.

Hand 3 (A6s) - because you close the action, you're getting 5:1 preflop and MP2 and your stacks are deep I would call here and play for two pair or better or a flush draw (preferably some sort of combo draw). I think you just have implied odds to make the call here.

Hand 4 (66) - I just complete the SB and hope the BB doesn't raise. Raising is too dangerous with the big stack in the BB IMO.

Hand 5 (22) - Raise/fold seems good, I don't think you have odds to call here.

Hand 6 (QTo) - I would raise it preflop. As played, I bet flop for 300 and see what happens. If called I fire again on a non-club turn, if raised I'm outta there.

Hand 7 (AQs) - this one is read dependent. Against a tight player I just let it go, against a LAGG player instashove.

Hand 8 (AQo) - interesting spot. I think this does look like a stop 'n' go, I call and hope that if I don't already have the best hand that my two overcards are good outs.

Hand 9 (A6o) - played fine, I probably make it 250 to go preflop considering your stack size.

Hand 10 (33) - instafold for me.

Hand 11 (93o) - HU I don't overbet the pot with top pair, I make it 200 or so to go on the flop. I check the turn and see what opp does, and definitely lead the river for 1000 or so. If opp checks behind you lose a lot of value. As played, I might consider just calling opp's small bet on the river, I think he turns up quite often with a flush here considering his line.

Hand 3 (A6s) - I dont close the action here, I'm SB.

Hand 11 (93o) - I didnt notice that overbet, that was a mistake. I suspect I meant 250.

Hand 3 (A6s) - I dont close the action here, I'm SB.

Oops, I misread the HH. In that case I fold it with no regrets.
