Just lost 3 stacks hu

I guess I was running poorly, but I also had a very tricky hand and I am not sure what to make of it yet, I'll definetly try and post it up somewhere and get some feedback on it. Feel free to comment on it here aswell.

the tricky hand

Reraised pot, if he raises the flop, I'm not folding, but he smooth calls and I make two pair. I decide bet calling will only get me in behind a large percentage of the time, but I figure he could semi-bluff a lot of hands if I check to him so after contemplating what to do I check raise him and he shows me top set ughh. Pretty unlucky spot for me to make two pair vs his set, but check folding seems really weak here.
I believe this was our first 3 bet pot that had action in it so I can't make any ready here based on villains previous actions.
Obviously he quit me after this hand...

valuetown...

...maybe not, but I do think I am betting this turn for value. It amazes me how much people weak lead with tp. I think hu is a valuable tool to get into the heads of weaker players, because you play so many hands with them.

ez hand

Pretty standard cooler.

I make a good call down

This guy was fairly reasonable, but I don't think I like his bet sizing on the river. Made my decision a lot easier. He quit me after this hand, which I think shows strength. Cause this handed would have probably shifted the momentum in my favour.

I think 3 BI's will be my stop-loss for nl hu for the meanwhile. I started to feel a bit tilted after the third stack and I didn't really want to quit, because I was playing against such weak opponents, but I think it's mandatory to be able to stand up and leave when your a hu player.
My stats seem tighter (probably due to short stackers) than the last time I played and although my pfr is high, it doesn't feel as though I am raising so much pf when it is limped to me.

I reraise the tricky hand to 11 or 11.5. c/c the turn cause you get more value from hands you beat this way IMO. If he goes all in on the river I think I might fold there depending on af, how the match is going, and so on
