ITM & HU. Can someone look at this hand?

[octaveshift]

Not sure there is anyway I can get away from this. Villain and I were HU for almost 15 minutes. I am guessing I should have raised the flop? It seems everytime I try to rope-a-dope I end up getting broke. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

How much would you raise the flop? I honestly doubt they'd fold to a raise of anything but close to all-in for them. You could try something like 1100 total but I wouldn't be surprised to see a re-raise all-in as a ton of people play MP strongly HU.

Then again you should be aggressive on the flop anyways as your hand is very vulnerable. River check/raise was ugly btw as your 2 got killed on the turn.
