mini-step1, HU, I was abused

Deuce Three · #1 03-09-2006, 02:51 PM

I couldn't get the hand converter to work with this histories...I appologize for the tough read...

The bottom line here is that I know I played too passively, and I have a strong feeling that the villain was pushing any 2 the majority of the time...

I've highlighted a couple of hands where I question whether of not I should have made a stand...

I was basically sitting back, hoping for a big hand to pick off...I know...weak...

Comments on avoiding, countering?

Thanks,

You should be raising in the small blind almost every time!

You did get some crappy cards there but never call as the small blind!

You have to go all in sometimes to push him back like he did to you!

I also need help with heads up play myself....but 1 thing i know is calling is never really an option.
