3--HU Level XII: Seeking Playing Guidelines

[TomBrooks]

I found myself HU at Level XII for the first time. Blinds/antes were 1000/2000/100. I had mostly weak cards for this stretch but hung in there. I almost busted my opponent once or twice, but I ultimately lost.

I think I was a little too passive and trying to be a little too patient. Every blind you don't contest is a huge concession to your opponent.

How do you play here?

What hands are you pushing from the Dealer/Small Blind?

What hands are you calling with from the BB?


Some plays I made that might have been bad, and my stack sizes/blind, in order they were played (I had some hands in between the ones shown below)...

- Q3s SB Complete/Fold 10150/1100 Maybe complete was bad. Always allin or nothing?

- Q4 Folded to AllIn 7050/2100 Was this a call?

- T9 Folded to AllIn 7050/2100 Call?

- J3 SB Folded 5959/1100 Do I push this?

- Q3 BB Folded to Allin 3850/2100 This was killer and I think I had to defend here. I wound up having to go allin on my next hand which was 43o and lost.

Edit: Added 5 hands I played
