4 HU $3 + .30 End 4th 29 hands Step 1 HU Shootout

Payout 1- Step 2 ticket, 2- Step 1 ticket.

Not played well by me. I tended to over play weak hands. I had 68o w/a flop of 3h 8s Qd and lost to KQs as an example.

Hand 11 I had 7s 3s. Flop 3d 3c 4h. BB limp bet & I called. Turn Kd. BB limp bets again and I raise to 80, he calls. River Kh. Ouch. I now have a FH but it is 3's full of K's. BB has been betting & calling, might they have a K and a better FH than mine? BB makes another limp bet and I raise to 80 and he calls again. BB shows pocket 5's and my trip 3's hold up.

Hand 28 I had Ac 2d. Flop 10d 3h 4s. If a 5 shows up I have a straight. BB had open raised 2 BB. We both check the flop. Turn Jh. Again we both check. River 3c. I check & BB bets 120, I call. BB shows pocket J's (Jd Jc). I'm down to 830 chips.

Hand 29. I'm SB w/Qd 10s and open raise 120, BB re-raises to 240 and I call. Flop 10d Jd 9c. I have an open ended straight draw and a flush draw. BB bets 120 and I raise all-in w/my last 590 chips. BB calls and shows pocket K's (Kc Kh). Turn 2h. River 3d. I hit nothing and am outta there. :-/
