I had this guy outplayed for the first 20min...then he starts catching and making some rediculous hands. Who's playing these differently, and what's your line?
Is anyone laying down two pair to the turn RR A-I?

I whittle him away some more(not even 10 hands later). I think I'm getting good odds for it, but we're deep stacked. Is anyone folding here?

I push him around for the next couple hands, and then get my best hand of the night. Should I have played it a little slower?

and I finally pick a spot to double up...I think an initial push would be more correct here though, no?

Hand no.1: I call here even though if you think about it, it is a marginal hand the way you described his play. If you think he will only do that with two pair and not with only top pair, you should fold. But since you have been agressive, he might play back at you so you have to lower your calling standards and call.
Hand no.2: I layed down a hand in a situation like this before but I should really see the speed of his betting to tell. Normally I call here in case he has a lone king plus a flush draw.
Hand no.3: Ha, that is a tricky one. The best you can hope for is a coin flip (I don't think he is doing it with King low kicker) so you might fold and keep your chip lead. When you have chip lead, you can steal a lot of pots with agression and let your opponent being shortstacked. That is an interesting one and I am not comfortable calling in situation like this. Hope someone else tells his opinion on that one.
Hand no.4: You have been agressive with nothing so you have to be agressive with monster. All in, baby. If a flop comes an overcard like it did, you have a hard time pushing so make your decision preflop.
Hand no.5: I like to slowplay in this situation so I wouldn't raise turn. You need to have guts to slowplay in HU even if it backfires sometimes.
Hand no.6: If you push here and get called, you are probably beat, so seeing flop with this hand is fine. His raise just seems like a trap. It is not even a minraise. After the flop, you played it fine.
I hope I didn't misread any hand. I was surprised to see villain betting in hand no.5. He probably got nervous after being pushed around.
When you are playing HU, study the speed of raising, checking etc. It really tells you a lot. HU is so much opponent dependent that no one can really blame you for making strange plays ocassionally. I would play most of the time just like you, except a hand no.3. I really hope someone who has experience will tell this one because it is really tricky and tough.
