    Have a few hands from a recent HU match on stars. Wondering if I played too aggressive, especially on the latter hand. Little background...opponent was playing aggressive, raising and calling raises from the small blind. Felt he pushed with any pair and his draws.

    Wondering if I could have played these hands in such a way to get him more committed. The first hand I puched because of the draw. The second I think I just got excited whenhe raised and pushed. Do you like a call here?
    Side note I after 45 miutes I got him all in with KK vs 33. Twice I had him on ropes only to see him suckout.

    thanks for any advice or comments.

    in the first case he prolly has nothing and theres nothing you can really do.

    in the second case, i call, and let him make another stab at it on the turn
