Default Re: New to HU cash, so lost

We've been going at eachother quite a bit so far, especially since I called his $51 river bet into $72 with A high and beat his air. He's partly afraid to bluff me since he thinks I call any bet with any pair, but he's also fed up and I feel like he could just be betting hard out of frustration.

Full Tilt Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (2 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

Button ($834.85)
Hero ($686)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Button posts a blind of $4.
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $12</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button (poster) raises to $36</font>, Hero calls $24.

I've been raising about every button so he has fairly wide range but still probably something decent.
Flop: ($70) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Button bets $58</font>, Hero calls $58??.

Felt like if I raise then he shoves an overpair and folds overs (unless hearts i guess) but I felt like if I hit i could get decently paid off by overpair and felt I could control pot against his overs.

Turn: ($186) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Button bets $130</font>, Hero ...

Crap. Takes away my three 2-pair outs if he has overpair, and feel like he calls with an overpair if i raise or shove. My instinct is that he's fed up and trying to buy it with A-strong, but can I continue?

First off, fold preflop.

Other than that, I think I call the turn and evaluate the river usually, but sometimes you fold.

If he fires a 3rd barrel, then I think you have to fold a blank river.
