16 hands into heads up. I've won 10 pots by steal raising, c-betting. I folded one like a donk, he won 3 by stealing and two big ones by coming over top of me. In summary our stacks had maintained their size. That may be insignificant, but I dont' know what else to say.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (2 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Button (t6940)
Hero (t6560)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8

, 2

.
Button calls t100, Hero checks.

Flop: (t325) 7

, 3

, 6

(2 players)
Hero bets t400, Button raises to t1600, Hero raises to t6335 (all-in)

Based off the patterns I expected a raise and was planning to push. There is no significance to my overbet, it was what was taking down the slightly raised pots. So, goot? standard?

I don't mind it. If you're sure that he's not that strong, any reraise is going to pot commit you anyway.

Folding isn't horrible either. It's read based.

What was your plan when you bet? Are you trying to build the pot?

Why did you overbet the pot?

This is a standard flop for c-betting. I expect opponent to re-raise me. Based on the impetus idea, with me first to act I voluntarily put all my chips in the pot and it's up to villain to decide his fate.

As for the overbet. Typically villain was min-raising so 400 was ~ 1/2 pot. I got caught up in the moment and bet what was "normal". I think at this point, heads-up the action is more important than the amount (within reason).
