I'm still trying to learn the basics of NL so am posting these that are probably easy but still puzzling to me. Please correct my actions and/or thought processes as you think appropriate. (I am buying in short on purpose while I am learning)
I had stats on the villain that were 17/13/0 after 22 hands. I hadn't seen her show down any yet. I figured I would give her credit for a big pair here rather than assume she was coming over the top with a smaller pair or AK or something like that. This OK? Or too weak tight.

Villain was new to the table. No read. No stats. I raised preflop, obviously liked the hand, but also didn't want a lot of company. I figured if I could get HU with someone I'd push the flop. Later I started thinking maybe I needed a deeper stack to pull this off?

I really never felt comfortable in this hand. I suppose this was a fold PF UTG. But since I didn't, where else did I go wrong?

I used the same converter in all three hands and with the same settings. It seems to have mind of its own. Sorry if that is a distraction. Thanks in advance for any comments.
