Into heads-up villain who is unknown to me started to push AI.. So in this hand I limped instead of openraising it because I intended to call his AI.. Good play although 25bb effective stacks? would you have called here any Ax?
Hi all,
I hate using this expression but it's definitely a fact that if he's pushing here then you can find a better spot to call.

So I guess it was better just to openraise pre and call his 3bet ? (or "you can find a better spot to call" still applies 
)
what do you mean don? you had no opportunity to open raise.
what chenny is saying here is that when we are more than 20BBs deep in a HU match we usually have a post-flop edge on our weak opponents. and calling A6o might be slightly good against his range, but we will have a larger edge in future hands by folding and trying to get him to over-shove when we have the nuts.

Yeah I understand this.. but what if I'm weaker than him 
♦ .. My heads-up sucks... and these are all normal speed ones.. my all time HEM stats 3,40's (turbo + normal) for 1st: 13.3 2nd: 13.9 3rd: 15.2 (42,50% ITM%).. always finished more in 2nd and 3rds..

Yeah I understand this..
if you dont have an edge, just look to make profitable shoves and calls.
so i would call this.
If you don't think you play very well HU you can still "outplay" him in push or fold by pushing tighter than he is, and calling tighter than he is. So you can still safely fold here. But it becomes cloesr for sure.
