Default Re: more HU

H1) Is not standard, especially on the first hand of a match. I don't think its a very bad play to look for FE but I usually want a better hand going up against an unknown that has played the hand as aggressive as he posssibly can. Benve's point about him full potting this should be noted as well. If you want to contend with this pot, another option/line is to flat this as a semi float/semi chase sort of reason. He may shut down on a ton of turns and freeze up and allow you to more creditably bluff or/and see free river cards and extract or bluff on what would then be a scarier board.

H2) Bet this flop harder to avoid this, play this flop like you had a big pair. While I don't believe him really here, I think your only option would be to raise this and that gets into you into a bad spot. I think calling is your worst option as its just burning money most of the time. Fold >Raise >>>>Call. And again, either cbet more or not at all.

H3) Seems like a standard C/C here. A vbet here targests worse Q's only and a KQxx is only ahead of air on the river after you 3barrel. Check it and maybe we can get a bluff, it also protects you against the rare times he has a boat or the random 7.
