Being honest I didn't have the time to get through all of the hands - the first hand is pretty standard, I think when you raise on the turn that it should be bigger - min raises don't accomplish a ton and we leave lots of value on the table.

The history heads up I am seeing a lot of over folding - folding BBQ when we should be defending, open folding buttons that we should be raising - basically its just too passive and we will allow our opponents to run us over heads up if they are the least bit aggressive.

Secondly I am seeing raising of marginal hands (bottom pair with the Q2) - in a limped pot - I am all for leading into my opponent here and possibly double barreling - but check raisin bottom pair here with no other equity to rely on is just simply asking for better to call. For a $100, this heads up villan seems pretty darn soft. No way he should be calling a check raise - even a click back - with worse than a 2 (a high card).

Just simple mistakes, being aggressive in spots where its not going to bring us good results - I guess I'm trying to say the aggression is poorly timed. Anyhow, over folding, being too passive, not sizing up our value bets enough. That's what I get from this.
