2 HU $2 + .15 End 1st 54 Hands

Decent play on my part. Other player liked to bad mouth me from time to time, starting with "you again" when play started. I don't remember them and they show up in PT once in a big tournament in May and then 6 months or so earlier, but no hand data, so I gather I didn't participate in any hands with them.

Hand 48 was my 1st nice hand with them. I was SB w/Qd 9h and 1215 chips, blinds 25/50. I opted to limp in this time w/50 & BB called. Flop 2d 9s 9c. Nice! I have trip 9's. BB bets the pot of 100 and I decide to slow play and just call. Turn 6d. BB bets the pot of 300 and I raise them to 600 and they decide to re-raise me by going all-in w/their last 1310 chips. From the board they could have trip 9's too, maybe they have a lower set than mine. They could be on a diamond flush draw but that doesn't seem too likely. If they have 78, they have a straight but I don't feel they do. I call and they show Ah 2c, having just paired their deuce. I can't lose and he is left w/520 chips! 1st big disadvantage I've had him at.

Hand 54. I'm SB w/9d 10d, blinds 25/50 & BB has 645 chips left after posting BB. I limp in w/50 and BB raises me to 150 and I call. He might pick up a few chips on me here. Flop 10c 6d 9c. Nice!! That flop sure makes my 9T look a lot better. :-) BB decides to go all-in w/their last 545 chips and it is an easy call for me. He could have a set or 78 for a straight or he's just desperate to pick up some chips; anyway until shown otherwise I go with my two pair. He shows Ac Qs. Nice cards but he needs a lot of help to make something that will beat me. Turn 4d. River 2c. I win!!
