My heads up venture has gone amazingly well in the past few days. I purchased a few videos from CR and they opened my eyes up tremendously especially on how to beat down some of the loose passive players. One of the better tips I got was to not respect donk bets unless given a reason otherwise ... here's a good example:

FullTiltPoker Game #6143067443: Table Prince (heads up) - $0.25/$0.50 - No Limit Hold'em - 2:14:17 ET - 2008/04/23
Seat 1: ftapros ($35.45)
Seat 2: TheSalche ($57)
TheSalche posts the small blind of $0.25
ftapros posts the big blind of $0.50
The button is in seat #2
* HOLE CARDS *
Dealt to TheSalche
TheSalche raises to $1.50
ftapros calls $1
* FLOP *
ftapros bets $3
TheSalche raises to $11
ftapros calls $8
* TURN *
ftapros checks
TheSalche bets $25
ftapros folds
Uncalled bet of $25 returned to TheSalche
TheSalche mucks
TheSalche wins the pot ($24.50)

His donk bet range here is huge and is weighted more towards draws, weak 9s, 4s and other assorted ace high crap. Of course by raising the flop I had to be willing to bet the turn and put pressure on my opponent which worked.

I've bumped my roll up to just under 1K, which is the most I've had in poker since I cashed out my 2K or so about 2 years ago. Of course this finally puts me at 20 BI, so I'm just barely rolled for 50NL even though I've played 5000 hands since my $300 redeposit.

There are still plenty of leaks in my game, which I plan on fixing in the near future.

1. Bad River Bluffs
I am making way too many aggressive river bluffs against loose/passive players when I lose my patience against them. When I'm bluffing the river it rarely makes any sense as my line is raise PF, cbet flop, check behind turn, bluff river. That line is rarely something unless a draw comes on the river, and even then its relatively cheap for an opponent to call.

2. Weak at playing 3bet pots w/o strong post flop hands
I rarely double barrel when I 3bet with AQo and the flop is king high and my opponent calls. Obviously it's not ideal to double barrel every turn OOP, but I think I need to mix in some check/folds to make my cbets in 3bet pots more believable. This also comes from being a 6max player, where I would play <20% of my hands OOP, and now I'm playing closer to 30 or 40% depending on my opponent.

3. Not playing my draws aggressively enough
Due to my low bankroll I haven't been willing to get it all in on the flop with OESDs, NFD + over type hands that have lots of fold equity. Thus I'm playing my draws very passively, specifically when I'm OOP. Fortunately most opponents don't capitalize on this, but it is still a leak.

4. Playing hands too straight forward vs. decent players
Of course I'm not trying to play against regulars and usually quitting someone if they show that they have a fundamental grasp of the game. Sometimes I play against decentish players who actually ask themselves "what does thesalche have?" Against these players I'm double barreling a lot of my strong but vulnerable hands like TPTK and I'm not extracting max value out of weaker hands like mid pair or PPs that miss. I don't double barrel my draws & bluffs enough to have that show up in my range, so my hand becomes readable to thinking players.
