Default My first shot at HU NL cash

Ok so i'm a 6 max player thats trying to get into heads up and I think i'm doing ok but I know I have some major leaks and theres one or 2 types of opponents I really dont feel comfortable playing. First off heres my stats for the last couple days:

Positional stats


Shot at 2007-08-11

I know i'm playing weak a lot of the time with certain opponents but is there anything you can tell me that i'm doing wrong just from these stats?

A couple situations I know i'm not comfortable with:

-Guys that constantly limp the button with good and bad hands and call down with ace high or monsters all the same or just just bet like half pot on all streets when they in position, I dunno just playing them tilts me in itself. (sounds stupid and maybe i was just tilt that day), I can just never get the pot big enough with my strong hands.

-Playing hands like weak aces and suited aces to aggro ish guys who's range you know you beat but you can 3 bet them cos the hand just isnt good enough (A8o A6ss type hands)...what do you guys do? just fold or call and c/f a whiffed flop? CR a really dry board?

-Playing out of position in general to guys that like to double and sometimes triple barrel.

I'm really enjoying HU compared to 6 max because my 6 max game was getting very boring and some days sessions didnt even swing up or down a single buy in. HU was treating me really well until yesterday when I wanted to smash my computer screen and cut my wrists with the debris. I'll post a few of these to amuse some of you:

Just browsing through my database I noticed i'm getting stacked a ton, i'm also new to HU so it prob just seems a lot more.

Anyway this is dragging, if anyone has any advice for me from reading this post i'd appreciate, thanks guys, and as I learn more about HU i'll try and contribute more to this forum but at the moment i'm just pulling straws myself

GL at the tables
