Villain is ih822yrolds, he's something like 45/22 (I don't have stats in front of me at the moment, but that's about right I think). He was sitting at an empty table and I joined, so no previous history at the table. I've played with him in the past, but I doubt he remebers me much and nothing stands out about our history.

I included results of any showdowns since I think they're relevant to future hands. I also put in comments on some of the hands that I felt were important.

The converter screws up the blinds heads up. What it calls the BB is the SB and what it calls the button is the BB.

I alternate between calling and raising here. I was starting to notice that we weren't seeing a lot of showdowns and I wanted to keep that up, so I raised.

Hero bets, Button calls.

Final Pot: 13 BB

He shows AQo and we chop. I felt like this was a big hand. I think he had to be getting suspicious of me being full of it and having top two for my first showdown hand gave me more credibility.

Final Pot: 2.50 BB

Around this point I really feel like I'm running over him. There has only been one showdown, where we chopped, and I'm picking up a ton of pots with continuation bets. I want to keep the pressure on, but I also need to stay alert to whether he starts thinking I'm FOS.

Final Pot: 9 BB

He shows T7o MHING. Ugh, I didn't feel good about this one. I think I got a little to anxious to catch him playing back at me and I may have ruined my image. Probably time to start thinking about changing gears since he may view me differently now.

Final Pot: 11 BB

I alternate 3 betting and callling preflop. When I call I raise pretty much any flop. On the turn I thought for a while before I called. I wasn't sure what I was going to do if I didn't improve on the river. I think this was a big hand since he likely had nothing, I feel like I'm back in the driver's seat now and I can probably hold off on the gear changes for a little while.

Final Pot: 8 BB

He shows 77 MHIG. I have a ton of momentum. At this point I think he's got to be getting a little steamed since nothing seems to be going right for him.

Final Pot: 6 BB

He shows A7o MHIG. I whiffed on a turn check raise here. I figured he would bet pretty much all of his hands here, but it makes sense that he could check an ace. I still think he'll bet all the hands drawing to >3 outs.

Final Pot: 9 BB

He shows 66 MHING. I figured I was still in control and getting him to fold tons of pots, so it was worth it to take a shot here. Maybe it's time to start thinking about a gear change again. At this point I make sure to pay a lot of attention to how he seems to be reacting and make sure I have a good feel for when he starts taking shots at me.

Ugh. This is the first time it feels like he out-aggressed me. I don't want to let him get on a roll.

Final Pot: 1.50 BB

I want to set up a limp reraise later with a big hand and I figure there's a chance I can see a flop for $5 then steal or maybe make a real hand.

He shows As9s MHIG. This one just could not have come at a better time. Every time it seems like he's getting something going I get lucky and pull out a momentum stopping hand.

At this point a third player sat down.

I like playing heads up a lot, but I really don't know if I'm making a lot of mistakes. Thanks for any comments.
