2 HU $2 + .15 End 1st 143 hands

Mainly playing to check out PT. Suddenly this morning McAfee is finding this trojan again and apparently it is  giving PT some problems as PT comes up with an error that it can't find a Rush file, though PT doesn't tell me what one. So 1st I decided to try a HU to see if that that part of PT was working ok & it was.

This was a way too long match which the way it was going I wasn't sure I'd end up winning. Hand 17 he gave me a big surprise. I was BB w/Jd 10h and called his 3BB bet. Flop 8h Ad As. No help to me. I check & he checks. Turn 7h. I check & he checks again. River 10s, pairing my 10.  I make a min bet of 20 and he raises to 180 and I call. He wins showing Ac Ah. QUAD A's on the flop. He slow played them quite well. I suppose that was the only way he could hope to make anything, as if he'd bet early I'd have folded.

Hand 35 I had a very nice win. I was BB w/5d 7c, SB bets 90 and I call. Flop 4d 6d 8h. I hit a straight and not a super obvious one. I min bet 30 and SB raises to 270, I reraise to 510 and he goes all-in. I call. He shows pocket J's: Jh Jd. Turn Qh, River 5h. I win and he's down to 430 chips. I feel like I should have this one if I don't make any mistakes. It turned out to be a lot longer than I expected.

I had been playing fairly aggressive and decided to play much tighter. He also started going all-in many times when I bet in, so I became even tighter. This alllowed him to slowly build up his chip stack so that by hand 102 he was back to 1210 chips, by hand 113 he had 1335 chips. We were getting awfully close to even again.

Hand 143. Last hand. I have 1750 chips and he has 1250. I'm BB w/pocket A's, SB opens w/180 bet and I call. I'm hoping he hits something and goes all-in like he has often done when he gets some limited response from me and then I fold to his big raise. Flop 9s Ks As. That is not the flop I wanted to see, though I hit an A's set.  I check and SB bets the pot (360) and I decided to take a chance that he does not have the flush and if he does maybe the board will pair and I'll get a FH. Or he could just fold, but if he has something he has been betting it. He calls and shows 9h Kd .... NO spades!! Phew. The only thing that could beat me would be quad K's or 9's. Turn 7d. River Jc.   I win.
