I mean did I do this shite to myself? Do I really suck that bad? I run so well its not even funny ..... BUT ..... is my bad play making variance worse????? I just god damn quit. Losing $500 in less than 6 hours (yes emotion/tilt got to be a factor), and being down $5.2K for the year ..... I'm an idiot! I"M A GOD DAM SUCKY DONK IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now you cbet more then pot??? Don't try to bluff or double/triple barrel donkeys, get value out of your hands and let them make mistakes. They are bad there is no reason to make tricky plays even if they are in your arsenal. Just play basic and they will lose their money gradually or make a big mistake. HU has huge variance, tough to play 20BI are not unheard of in the least. Now ship the $50 to vanwilder11 and ill give you a lesson, mayb 2 cuz as you will see in part 2 of multitabling i don't like to see members lose money haha.

I don't realy get your play, especially on 50 NL, ..
I play Headsup 50NL, you just have to play in position, fold the mediocre hands when 3betted and play your bighands, the donkeys will pay you off... I don't see any value in calling with the A3 preflop, on the flop, turn, river, this is quite a strange play you make and not one that i would suggest tbh ... probably a tilty move

Just cool down, lower the limit, wait for your bighands, etc

[no eff eks]

In HU matches with just ~100bb effective stacks I don't like a 4bb open. I go with 3bb and adjust it up or down depending on how often they call and how deep we are (deeper stacks = larger raise).

Overbetting the flop was kind of ridiculous... The turn was a good card to double barrel so I like a bet there after betting the flop, but unfortunately he didn't go away.

Mostly what I don't like about this hand is your bet sizing, otherwise your line is fine.
