I don't have a lot to say about this HU session. Nicely I won in the end but I feel I let it go on too long. I've been backing away from my more aggressive play to mix up my betting patterns, but I'm feeling that I should start hard and continue that way for awhile, then mix it up later.
The other thing I need to work on is how to bet when I'm the BB. I've been mainly just letting the BB limp and checking unless I have something worth raising for. Need a better plan.
We went back and forth much of this session. A couple of times we both went all-in and had the same cards, such as AK or a straight. There were a few times he went all-in to my bets and I wasn't sure if he had it or not but decided to err on the side of caution and fold. I think after a time he saw my aggression might be with weak cards and called me more often then he would have otherwise.
I didn't have any really great hands and none all that much worth talking about. So I'll finish with the last two hands.
Hand 78. We are near even chip wise. I have 1440 and he has 1560. I'm the SB, blinds 40/80 w/Ad 8c. I bet 4 BB (240) and BB calls. Flop 3d Qc 8s. I hit middle pair. BB goes all-in w/1320. I was feeling a bit tired of this session here and decide to call. Obviously it's a pretty iffy call on my part and not knowing what his all-in's meant in the past I don't have a good clue as to what it means here. He shows 6h 8h, much weaker than I expected. I expected him to have at least a Q. Turn Js, River Kd. and I win leaving him with 120 chips.
Hand 80. I'm BB, blinds are 40/80, I have Ah 2s. He bets his last 120 chips and because I have an Ace I decide to call, though A2o is a pretty weak hand. He shows 9h 3s. I have one overcard. The board shows Kc Ac 3h 4d 8s and I win. Pleased that I did but not how I played overall.
