umm, is that normal for HU play?

serious question, I have like no HU experience at all, but his line on all streets seems kinda bad, no? although at the same time, I guess it works a lot, and it's great for meta so he can get paid off if I call light, so I dunno

(btw I was gonna checkraise the turn, since my turn play had been too straightforward in recent hands and he was taking advantage)
