im afraid my play is detiorating because im running terribly. these are 4 consecutive hands against an unk. i cant decide if ive degenerated into a passive calling station that takes every hand to showdown or a weak tight nit.

hand 1 looks good. I don't see how we can call that river

hand 2 I wouldn't cap preflop with this hand when there is no history, but meh. flop is a must peel given the pot size.

I don't think you have much FE with your turn semibluff. leading into the capper is a pretty strong move, I doubt he is going anywhere. wow strange results, that's pretty sick.

hand 3 is not worth battling for imo

hand 4 is good I think. there are a lot of straight draws that all bricked off

hand 5 I would fold pre. I think that you should put in a value raise on the flop or turn. it also prevents him from taking a free showdown with ace high on the river.

I've heard from some players that passive play is v good huhu so maybe this hand is fine

hit and run is so standard

FWIW I often feel this way when I run bad HU. Every time I make a marginal calldown it's no good. Every time I fold I feel like it was the best hand.

Hand 1: I don't know if donking the river is going to work at 50/100. Probably not.

I think you could also call the flop and see what the turn brings then decide how to proceed.

Hand 2: I wouldn't cap this pf. I think flop+turn are fine. I don't think he's folding a better hand on the river.

Hand 3: fine

Hand 4: I'd play it the same. I think the river is very close though.

Hand 5: I think this one is all about how people at 50/100 play. It's hard to believe that he thinks that your folding A-high or better on the river. Given that you didn't 3b pf, I'm not sure why he'd be value betting a good ace. So I would fold.

Edit: I would fold Hand 5 pf too.

I think you played all the hands fine with the exception of #2 where capping pre is kinda meh depending on how often your opponent is 3-betting. Also the turn raise + river follow through is a little much in my opinion. He's showed a lot of strength 3-betting pre, then leading two streets into a capper...not many hands he'll fold here, I'd prob just call turn and on the river fold if you miss / raise if you hit.

My 2 cents: HU hold'em is THE most frustrating, tilt inducing form of poker I've played. Guaranteed to be tons of beats and some sick variance. When you're hitting it's great, but when you run bad + playing a good opponent, it can be devastating...and really mess with your head.

Out of curiosity, should opponents make this bet vs. you?

Hand 3 I'd bet flop because most people limp in with small offsuit connectors in my experience if they ever limp at all.

Hand 2 his line seems really strong so your play probably won't work.

Other 3 are fine. The straight draw hand I show down if club doesn't come. The AK you lose a lot but you also win a solid amount I'd guess. 64 hand I would c/r flop bet bet sometimes and call down sometimes.
