Some of his analysis is fine. But it's hard to filter out the good observations from some of the very bad plays he makes (buying in short vs a very weak opponent, playing far too passively preflop and postflop, not realizing when his hands have showdown value.)

The article was never intended to show ideal play in each individual hand. When I first read the draft, I also disagreed with plays on specific hands.
The point was to show how one winning (presumably) 1-2 no-limit player broadly approaches an unknown opponent. The author intended to show his macro-strategy over an entire session rather than a micro-strategy of specific hands.
For those criticizing the article, I'm more than happy to publish more "35 heads-up hands" written by the critics.
