im starting to notice one of my major leaks lately is Im playing passive, especially when it gets expensive making bad calls on chases, when folding or raising would be better. SO heres a hand. I discussed it with my friend who is not a HU player, but a pretty solid tourney player. Hes not unfamiliar with HU but he doesnt really study it avidly. Im also going to post our discussion on the hand shown. Please comment on the hand and any insight into our discussion:
only read on villain: he will almost call ATC to my button raises, or even BB reraises. he has overbet on a flop once to me and folded when i pushed.

gg
// chris... says:
i like ur raise idea
// chris... says:
im not sure i would done that
// chris... says:
prob a leak
// chris... says:
i usually make bad passive chases
Banyai says:
i dont like calling that much and i dunno folding is an option but by raising u make him make a decision and if he just calls u can prob win the hand with a bet on the turn
// chris... says:
the only problem in HU turbos though is the limited chips relative to blinds
// chris... says:
i basically commit to that hand with a flop raise
// chris... says:
especially if hes strong and i lead turn
Banyai says:
ya by raising u pretty much cant fold but i dunno it usually works
// chris... says:
i guess
