To tight in heads up?

edited July 2011 in The Poker Clinic
Generally i like to think my heads up play is ok but often find myself getting my money in good and losing to horrendous calls so have tightened up abit but maybe too much? You don't often get these hands heads up espcially not within 10 hands of each other but felt i had to lay them both down.

Opinions please be as harsh as you see fit

    hand 1 you need to raise more 40 more, after turn shove its pretty difficult to call unless they are really bad and stack of with a Queen here

    hand 2 pre fine, Bet more on flop dont be afraid to bet pot because if they have any part or a draw they are going to be calling. you have defo underrepped your hand so i would get in on turn as if he has 1 of the 2 kings its a cooler IMO as its unlikely. more often they think there queen is now good. Again this is villain dependant but i doubt they have a king and likely your ahead

    hand 1 is hard to say without info on what villians 3bet calling range is / whether he's loose etc .. villains range could easily include an A here which he floated with on the flop / but after hitting the A would he over shove the pot like that? your check has sort of opened the door to a bluff but wasn't expecting a shove/ like i said hard to say without reads but i probably do call 

    hand 2 / you have to raise bigger on the flop, youre pricing villain in if he's drawing / once again it's very hard too say without reads, i know good players lead streets when they've just hit strength but not sure this guy is good, i probably call as villain could be possibly value betting a Q here, doubt it though ... too difficult to say without info on villains play though

    I dont mind either folds, hand 1 you cant really call unless you have reads. hand 2 he has a king so often here i dont mind the fold.

    At this point in the game it was readless as the game went on i caught him bluffing a couple so in hindsight could have played it better but this was early on still testing the water. Always find it hard to glean information as there are so few showdowns heads up.
