2 HU $2 + .15 End 1st 121 hands

It took a lot of hands but I got the win in the end. I let him build his chip stack back up a couple of times but he played sufficiently non-aggressive, with lots of folding, that I was able to knock him back down. His folding made it hard to build any big pots with him as betting him pre-flop and post-flop he'd fold. The plus side of that is when he did jump in I knew I had to be careful because he likely had some good cards. Twice I got caught with him catching a flush on the River, and even worse for me, I didn't look at the board close enough to notice the flush possibility those two times.

Hand 77. I'm BTN w/1525 chips and As Jc, BB has 1400 chips. I bet 3 BB (150)  and BB calls. Flop 2c Ad Qc. I hit my Ace, but did the BB hit AQ? I'm assuming he called me because he had an Ace. BB checks and I bet 150 into the 300 pot. BB calls. Turn 4s. Looks harmless enough. BB checks and I bet 300 into the 600 pot. BB calls again. River 10d.  Possible straight showing. BB checks and I decide to do the same in case he has something like AQ. BB shows Ac 6c. Looks like he was going for the nut flush draw. BB now is back to 850 chips.

Hand 93. I'm BTN w/2150chips and Jc 10s. BB has 775 chips and has been as low as 550. I bet 3 BB (150) and BB goes all-in w/825 chips. I wanted to see a cheap flop and expect he has something like AK AQ and decide to go for it and see if I can take the win here and call. I'm hoping to see two live cards. He shows pocket Q's (Qd Qh). Gulp. Does not look good for me. Flop Jd 5s 2c. Turn 6h. River 9s. He wins and I'm down to 1350 chips.

Hand 99. I'm the BTN w/950 chips and Jh 9c. I bet 2 BB (120) and BB goes all-in w/2020 chips. I don't know why after that QQ loss I decide to call him; he has not shown me when he acts aggressively that he doesn't have good cards.. He shows pocket 5's (5h 5c). At least I have two overcards this time. Flop 6d 9h 10d. I pair my 9 and it looks very encouraging. Turn 2h. River 10s. I win and am back up w/1960 chips. I was lucky that hand.

Hand 108. This hand the possible flush was so glaring I couldn't miss it,. I'm BB w/Ah 10h. BTN limps and I call. Flop Jc 3d Ac. I pair my Ace and decide to just check, BTN does the same. Turn 8c. No help to me and board shows possible flush. I bet 60 into the 120 pot and BTN calls. River 10c. I have two pair but A flush is even more likely now. I make a small bet of 60 into the 240 pot and BTN raises to 210. Not having any good reason to doubt that he has the flush I fold.

Hand 121.I'm BTN w/2990 chips and pocket J's (Jc Js). I bet 2 BB (120) and BB goes all in w/980 chips. I decide to go for it and call. BB shows pocket 7's (7c 7h). I was glad to see a smaller pair. Flop Kd Qd 10c.  I now have an open ended straight draw. Turn 6d. River 9h. I win!
