HU = SWONGS amirite?

i watched a good deal of this match once it got to 10/20, good fun.

do you normally play a 36/24 game? i've been thinking about how to play optimally vs. a 30/29 hyper aggressive player like mu_empire, and it seems to me that the way to go is to either tighten up like you did or gamble with him. the problem with the tight approach is that he might quit you (as I sadly discovered) and that he seems to spew much less. i watched him play 5/10 a few days ago and he absolutely donated to a guy playing like a 50/40 game.

i also noticed you seemed to be saving a lot of bets for the river. your river aggression frequency is huge over the 3k hands i have, just wondering if that's a sample size issue or a conscious adjustment.
