Something missing f/ a lot of posts...
 

One of the important aspects of any hand is how your opponent perceives you. Unless you have a long history with the opponent, this usually involves how you've been playing for the past 40-50 hands.

Here is an example:

Say you've been making a lot of continuation bets after PF raises, and C/F turns when you miss.

You raise xy. Flop comes 982. One caller.

Check, Bet, Call.

Turn is a 2. In this situation, sometimes if you don't have a piece you might give up. However, given your table image, it might be very profitable for you to fire a second barrel as your opponent probably thinks you only fire 2nd barrels with legit hands.

The point of this example is that your table image can greatly influence certain decisions. One of the reasons it's so difficult to comment on HU NL hands is because a lot of that depends on the previous hands that you've played with the opponent.

This is probably something that is difficult to convey in a post, however, even a sentence or two about table image will probably lead to a more meaningful discussion.

I have to agree with this, your opponents are usually doing something for a reason and all to frequently this isn't mentioned. AZK's AQ post from 2 days ago is a good example, he mentions that he got caught 3 barrell bluffing which will make even a hard core 8 tabling set miner sit up and take notice.
