2 HU $2 + .15 End 2nd 91 hands

This was a very frustrating session as it seemed all too often the other player would beat out my good hands. I did err in the final hand by over playing it, and falling trap to his pocket K's. He did have a tendency to underplay very good hands, but I was hoping to catch a break with that last one.

Hand 91, blinds 30/60, I have 790 chips having worked my way back up from 480 chips 15 hands ago. I have 9c 7h. and am BB. He open raises 2 BB (120) and I call. Flop 3h 7d 6c. I have middle pair. I also mis-read the hand to think I had a straight or gutshot straight draw, which I didn't. I bet 60 into the 250 pot and the SB raises me to 300. I didn't take time to think about his bet and what he might be holding to make that big of a raise on me, rather I decide to challenge him, in case he's bluffing and I go all in w/my last 670 chips. He calls and I see the bad news when he shows pocket K's (Kd Kc). I still have outs but it doesn't look good for me. Turn 4d. There is now a chance for a gutshot straight and if that happens we'd chop the pot. River 2s. That's it, over and out.

Early on things looked pretty good for me. Hand 10 I had 4d 5c as SB and open raised 2 BB (40), BB re-raised to 60 and I called. Flop 4c 4s Qh. I hit trip 4's. BB bet 80 and I called. Turn 9c. BB bet 100 and I raises to 200, BB called. Hmm, do they have a 4? FH? River Jh. BB bets 100 and I raise to 200, BB calls. They show Kc Qs, having paired their Q. I win. They are down to 940 chips.

Hand 39. I'm BB w/Kh 5c. SB open raises 2 BB (60) and I call. Flop 4s 4d 3h. I bet 30 into the 120 pot and the SB raises to 60, I call. Turn 6c. I now have an open ended straight draw. I check and SB bets 120; I call. River 2d. I hit my straight. I bet 300 into the 480 pot and the SB calls. They show pocket K's (Ks Kc). I win and they are down to 580 chips. 

Hand 48 I had Jh 2s, they had 2h 4s. Flop was Jc 6d 5c. Nice one for me. Turn Kh. River 3h. They hit a gutshot straight. When the Kh fell on the Turn, I just checked, which they did too and I let them see the River at no cost. If I had bet again maybe they would have folded.

Hand 50 was another heartbreaker for me. I'm SB w/As Kh. I open raise 2 BB (40) and BB re-raises me to 80, I re-raise to 160 and they call. Flop 5c 2h Ah. Very nice for my AK. BB checks and I bet 140 into the 320 pot, they raise me to 240, and I re-raise them to 420 and they re-raise me all-in w/their last 280 chips. I call. I was so happy about my Ace that I didn't really think about what they might have. If I had I'd have probably put them on a set. Anyway they show 3d 4d. They hit a straight!! :-/ Though their betting after the flop makes sense to me, I don't understand their pre-flop betting w/34s. Turn 10s. River Kd. We're now just about even again as they have 1440 chips.

Hand 53. This hand shows how they tended to confuse me on what their hands might be. I have 5h 10h. They have Kc 9s. Flop 9h Kh 9c. I have a flush draw, they hit a FH. On the flop I bet 40 into the 160 pot and they just called. On the turn they checked and I checked. On the River they bet 120 into the 240 pot and I called. Though I expected it was likely I was beaten I was really surprised at the strength of their hand. Were they using my oft times aggression against me?

Hand 64. My chip stack had been dwindling and I was down to 615 chips, blinds 25/50, I'm SB w/3d 4c. Cards hit me this time. I decide to just limp in w/50 and BB calls. Flop 4d 6d 3s. I hit two pair and have a flush draw. BB bets 50 and I raise him to 100, he calls. Turn 4s. I have a FH and unless the BB has pocket 6's I have the best FH. BB bets 100 and I raise all-in w/my last 490 chips, BB calls. They show 6s 2d. Just a pair of 6's. I win and am back up to 1280 chips.

Hand 66 I have Ad 10c, BB has 10h 9s. Board plays out: 10d 9d Qs 5d 10s. I'm back down to 730 chips.

Hand 69 was mainly poor play on my part. I had 5h Jd. Board flopped 7h Ah 2h. I had a flush draw. Turn 10h. I now had a flush but if SB has any heart bigger than a 5, I'm beat. River 2c. SB had 8h 6h hitting the flush on the flop, only calling my min bets of 50. I'm down to 480 chips.

That's about it. It would be beneficial to review my play some more and see where I could have played some of those hand better.
