 Hand 11 - Fold on river. If I call it's to see what kind of hand he makes this play with

{After looking at results, I see this a lot. Maybe 3:1 is good enough?}

Hand 13 - Don't fold pre-flop

Hand 17 - I like

Hand 22 - Awkward stack size. I like the check-raise, but it sucks to overpush.

Hand 23, 25, 27, 29, 35 - Don't fold pre-flop. He's not challenging you for completing the small blind, you undoubtedly have a post-flop edge

Hand 31 - I would be tempted to call this. He hasn't played back a lot so the raise is scary. You have position post-flop. Only a mediocre HU hand. Folding is probably better

Hand 33 - good

{Lol at opponent}

Overall pretty standard I think

 just glancing through it, you were way too tight. you should be more aggressive overall, which i found odd considering your ring game play. it seems like you werent cbetting very much, which in heads up play, is a huge weapon.

I was very agg in the beginning and once i had a 2:1 chip lead i tightened up some. With the awkward stacks at that point I didn't want to be messing around too much with speculative hands, when the implied odds weren't there so much.

I knew I was a better player, so I just chose to pick my spots from that point. I don't really like smallballing against people who are likely to call the flop light.
