I know I'm showing hands in this post, but it's more about the strategy I should be taking, rather than these specific hands.
It seems like every HU I get into boils down to a couple AIs in which I'm always a favorite and I always lose them. Am I playing HU incorrectly, or is it good that I am reducing it to an almost 10% die roll for my opponent to win?
Below is what I'm talking about. A good amount of chips changed hands only twice during my HU, and both times I had him (almost) covered, so I am thinking he had a 10-15% chance to win both of them. If he hadn't won both, I would have taken him out, so that means that I essentially had an 85-90% chance to win this HU, right?

Is my thinking at all right? Do I need to be doing something differently?
