Well done on the win, some general comments:

- I think you're playing a bit too weak/tight in the early stages. There were a number of hands that you folded or limped that I would definitely have raised.
- Don't donkminbet if you're going to bet - make it at least 1/2-2/3 pot particularly if you'd rather opp fold.
- When there is a calling station donk in the BB, don't steal with crap. A lot of the value of stealing is taking the blinds down without a fight, but if you're going to have to see a flop then why not wait until you have something half decent?
- I thought your HU play was pretty good overall, since aggression wins - but a couple of tips: a) if you've been very active, there's nothing wrong with folding the worst crap and b) the 93s call was pretty awful, not sure what you were thinking there.

Q A UTG+1 (M = 15.17; f+F) (between 1 and 2) - why are you folding this? I raise it every time here.

3. JJ - considering your stack size, I shove it preflop every time here rather than flat calling. You're flat calling for almost 15% of your stack and the chips in the pot preflop are 22% of your stack, I shove it.

4. TT - don't limp here, particularly with your stack - make it 3x BB to go. As played folding to the shove is probably OK without a specific read.

6. 88 - don't like the limp, you leave yourself open to this sort of move. Raise or fold only - I would probably make it 350 to go. As played, I am very tempted to call the shove, it could well be that opp is trying to steal the dead chips. Your stack can take the hit if you call and lose, I think I call this.

J A MP1 (M = 15.87; f+F) (between 6 and 7) - this is pretty weak/tight - I would make it 2.5x BB to go.

7. JTo - dude, BET THIS FLOP, don't give any free cards. It is a super dangerous flop and if a spade comes you'll have no idea what to do and if another broadway card comes you likely get no action (unless you're splitting and whoopee for that).

8. 99 - finally you raise something! I would c-bet the flop since you're in position (OOP I would check it). DEFINITELY bet the flop once opp checks twice, but what is the point of donkminbetting the river? What hands are you hoping that opp will have here?

9. 62o - on this dry board, I think the C-R is the way to play your flopped trips, particularly against two opps. I would not hate betting here either though since with two opps in the hand somebody may well call.

10. ATo - NO LIMPING at this blind level please. Raise or fold only, I probably fold it since trstmf seems like a real calling station. As played, I don't bet ace high into three $2.25 players on the river, I just check it down (you might still win).

11. K2s - raise is fine, but just realise that if the short stacked SB shoves over you have to call since you're priced in.

12-13. Both good.

14. K8o - I don't raise this from UTG when the big stack calling station is in the BB. As played, I play the same as you, I don't c-bet the flop or turn either but river is an easy value bet (but if he shoves over he has the A).

16. 88 - fine; I have no idea what the heck he is calling your flop bets with since you seem to win at showdown most of the time.

17. T8o - just fold it preflop, it's not worth it.

18. J6o - again, why steal here when the calling station donk is in the BB?

21. 97o - as per 18, I don't steal here when you know you're gonna get called. As played, it is a tough decision but I probably just fold the turn - but I would never have to make this decision in the first place because I would have folded preflop.

24. J3o - don't donkminbet if you're going to bet. 250-300 to go.

29. 94o - nothing wrong with folding the worst crap HU since you've been pretty active.

30. T6s - no need to make it full pot here on the flop if you're going to lead. 300-360 is plenty.

32. 93s - the open raise is fine (although see hand 29) but WHY CALL THE SHOVE? What exactly do you think you're ahead of, or if you're not ahead, why did you think you were priced in to call. Sorry to be harsh but this call is pretty awful.
