Villain's checkraise (first time) all-in really looks so strong.. but I guess still an instant call right?

22 is normally good enough to raise pre HU. Depending on opponent's tendencies and duel's dynamics, limping can be OK.

As played there's no way I could fold this even though you are beaten quite often. Remember that you've got 10 outs vs a flush.

Limping is ok if villain 3-bets quite a bit PF or plays aggressively post-flop.

I know this is $3.40 so people don't really know what they are doing, but shoving with the flush seems odd. I would have thought most people in these slow-play the crap out of flushes. Sure, sometimes he'll pitch up with the nuts but this could also be Asx, two pair, 9x (if he's tilted), some Tx hands (although he would have to float the flop with air mostly) slow-played big hands like AK, JJ-AA that are freaked out by the thrid card to the flush.

two options for this post:

1) it should be in tilt

2) you're folding waaaay too many hands HU. I would snap with A9 here. If you ever considered folding re look at your whole HU game.

I'd make it 500 to go preflop, and take it from there.

As played, I can't call fast enough in this spot. If he has two spades in hand, remember you still have 10 outs to redraw on the river.

Honestly, I didn't fold ..

As played there's no way I could fold this even though ..

but yeah my HU game sucks in general.. I think I would have a very solid ROI if I just could finish 15-16% first place.. but it's a poor 12.50% (& worse it used to be 13.50%)
