        We played like 40-50 mins and everything was going against me, i had him at 1k chips 2 times but he managed to get back in the game and win. There is a hand ( the last one ) I want to talk to you guys about :

             I dont know if this is results oriented ( I am too nervous to think now ) but I really wonder if a reraise to like 900 or 1.1k and all in on whatever flop wouldn't have been a better line. I mean I never reraised shoved him, so I think he knew I wouldn't do that with premium ( maybe if I reraise he would put me on premium, who knows) and considering the stack sizes in relation to the blinds its like a standard call.

A raise to ~1000 dedicates

A raise to ~1000 dedicates him to the pot and I think that even most dumb opponents can recognize this to some extent. If you really think he will flat call you then possibly fold on a flop then it is definitely your best line, but I don't think that many players will do this.

Also, Pognon is pretty funny:
