I have almost no experience playing heads up (<><), but I felt like playing a session. It might be interesting to read.. I don't know my opponent before I started, I was just fooling around at a 5/10 Limit 5max table and he challenged me. Any comments are appreciated.

Make your preflop raises a bit smaller, its perfectly ok to even minraise sometimes heads up.

I think you bet and raise your strong hands too aggressively, your goal should be to trap your opponent and get value out of your strong hands and not make it easy for him to fold.

Try and get your marginal hands to showdown more often instead of raising your opponent out of the pot and effectively turning your hand into a bluff.

I play lower stakes and haven't played much heads up for a while (think I'm going to soon though, seems like a good way to improve)...but fwiw here's some comments.

#21 would have been a perfect time to 2nd barrel if you'd raise pre flop after what happened in #16, which I think was ok but not that good to 2 barrel.

24, 28 - you have position + cards with potential and SB limped...I would raise either or both of those.

29 - imo this is a turn fold (lack of FE and implied odds, not to mention reverse implied odds), if not the river.

35 - leading the flop 1/2-3/4 pot and calling or maybe 3betting a raise is better imo

39 - I'd rather raise pf but whatever - you have such a shallow stack it prob doesnt matter. On the turn though I would lead 1/2 to 3/4 pot whatever seemed more of a bs bet he would want to min raise.

44 - I think call flop and try making a move on the turn, or raise the flop consistent to your other raises (much more then min).

those are my thoughts on the ones that stand out to me.

It looks like he would min-raise you several times in raised pots and you let him get away with it too often. Those tend to add up over time. Another thing is you let him off the hook by checking the river too many times when you bet your draw or 2nd pair and didn't improve. I think you can push him off some of those hands. Plus what Coco_Bill said is true.

How's the overall play over at WPEX btw?
