2 HU $2 + .15 End 1st 11 hands

I played this one fairly aggressively and it worked ok for me. He didn't hit a situation where he was able to use my aggressiveness against me. Hand 10 he bet pretty aggressively and on the turn w/10 9 and a board of Q 2 9 7, I decided it was best I fold.

Hand 11 was a bit of a surprise to me as I expected him to have more than he did when he went all-in. I have Qs 4c as BB. I have 1770 chips to his 1200. He open raises 3 BB (60) and I call. Flop 3h 5s 6d. I have an open-ended straight draw. I min bet 20 into the 120 pot and the SB raises me to 180. I decide to call and see what the turn brings. Turn 2d. I hit my straight on the low side but he would need, at least, 4 7 to beat me. I check and he goes all-in w/970. I don't feel he can beat me but not sure what he might have. Not sure there is any logic to my feeling and I've been beat in these situations before where I've assumed he doesn't have the winning cards and this might be another one of those times. I call. SB shows   Ac Kh. Wow, not even a pair. I thought he might have a set too. In any event I would have beat that. The only card that would help him now would be a 4 and then we'd chop the pot. River 9h. It's over and I win.
