Heads Up!

I have been playing a lot of heads-up matches lately. I've done pretty well at them. I've always done well at the heads-up NLHE matches. Problem is, I usually jump into some heads-up cash game, or some SNG's, or something and blow my money. Or I play some $20-$50 heads-up Stud, Stud H/L, or PLO SNG's that I have no business playing. No discipline. Well this time I'm trying to see what I can do playing just heads up matches. It's definitely a super grind at this level. Playing what seems like a million matches just to make a small profit over time. My hand history deleted the last group of heads-up matches that I played last month. I know I had a pretty good record there too. I know this week I'm 13-5 on NLHE matches from $5-$20. And I should be 17-1. Listed below are 4 hands in which I had my opponent in horrible shape. On the first 3 hands, they were all-in & the 4th hand he had me slightly covered. I was 83%, 89%, 82%, and 71% favorites when the money got in. The last one just seemed unnecessarily brutal lol. I'll keep you posted.
