7 wins / 3 Losses
Overall it was a nice start to my HU challenge. I played relatively good, adjusting to my opponents well. I made a few mistakes thats for sure. I'm going to post a few hands with my opinions on them. Your opinions would also be greatly appreciated.
As a forwarning. Not sure why it says its FLHM but obviously its not.

I dont like much of anything about this hand. The guy was basically calling 97% of his hands so basically anything was in his range. At least if i had of bet earlier I could have got away from the hand. When that ace came on the river I over analyzed the card and misstook it for a bluffing card. Overall a terrible play.

This is a questionable one. This player had 3 moves. Fold, Call, and all in. I had seen him call or check preflop with big pairs as well as mid pairs. He was showing alot of hands and had pushed all in with 22 and 33 as well as ATo-Aks.
I knew i was getting my chips in good and had the chip advantage to knock him out. What I dont like is that I felt I had a huge edge on this player and that I didn't need to take this gamble. My edge proved to be true when I dominated him in the next game. All in all I got my chips in good but still think its an overall questionable move.
Aside from that there was a bunch of good EV pushes and such deeper into the SnGs. I looked throught he list and there really isn't many brag hands or big river bluffs so I'm just going to leave it with my two big hands i'm unhappy with.
