The notes are very straightforward: during the whole HU stage, he didn't checked behind even once on my free play (and I used to check all the time). He was betting totally automatically, without even looking at the flop properly -- obvious bluff. I got sick and tired of it, but there was nothing I could do, because I wasn't hitting the flop at all. I tried to raise him once on pure bluff, he pushed, I folded and didn't try again. Finally, I hit the flop. As expected, he bets, I push without hesitation.
I assume that this was the right decision. What I really don't know, is what to do, when my opponent bets free play postflop in position with 100% range. Is my strategy of waiting to hit at least a pair / top pair decent?
