    Went through it pretty fast..kind of in a hurry...I'll go through it much more carefully when im back from work...ok anyways, I did see a few things that suck out to me...

    I think it was hand 19 were you were dealt AA, why are you raising pre? you should be disguising and abstracting as much value as you can with that hand, esp heads-up...I would slowplay this hand everytime..hoping to get at the very least one additon bet on flop or turn before taking pot down...

    Also it seems you played hands like K7-KJ rather timid and passive...heads up these hands are pretty strong...I would have thrown in a raise with w/e hand it was when you had K10, along with the K6s, etc...this may be a leak in my heads up game, but for the majority of the time these hands are all getting raised pre for the most part...

    Besides those I think you played fine..picked your spots and turned up a win...nice job, will look at it more closely when I have more time, hope everything makes sense and it helps....

    H2, I'd bet a little more on the flop. You don't mind being called, but the pot would be nice to take down now. You took an aggressive line, which I'm sure was partly read based, but in other circumstances I'd probably check the river, rather than betting 2/5 of my remaining stack.

    H3- That call is alright, but you might as well just raise (t500).

    H6- Could you raise less? If he calls that raise, what are you doing on the flop? If you raise less and get called you'll be less inclined to stick around with a second-best hand.

    Seriously consider raising to t500 when HU at the 100/200, and see if that takes down the blinds first. If it doesn't, raise it up more.

    H11- If it's worth calling, it's worth raising.

    H13- I don't so much like the minbet on the flop you completely missed, but I suppose if it works 1/3 of the time you're making money. The problem at this point is, you don't have enough chips to be bluffing at pots.

    H17- I try to never let them limp when I have an A.

    H18- Right...so do that in 17

    H21- No! They limp! WE raise or fold. Generally speaking.

    H24- Limping is less bad, but you could still std raise.

    H25- He's not folding to minbets at this point, so up your postflop bets a little.

    H29- Noooo! He has no chips! Put the pressure on.

    Less limping. Take those blinds or fold. Nice job.
