2 HU $2 + .15 End 2nd 56 Hands

Mixed play. Early on it seemed my aggressive play was called and all too often he had better cards and draws weren't hitting for me. By hand 23 I was as low as 400 chips. Hand 30 I made a comeback hitting a straight on the flop and had 1070 chips.

Hand 33 ended up being a fun one. I was a little bit on tilt from the last hand when another straight draw didn't happen and my AJs was beat by 78s and how the session had been playing overall up to this point. I'm the SB w/pocket 4's, 810 in chips. I open raise 2 BB (80) and the BB re-raises me all-in with his 2170 chips. I decide, ok, let's get this over with and I can get on with something else, and call. He shows pocket Q's. Flop Kc 2d 4d. I hit a set!! :-) Turn 7s. River 6c. I win and have the chips lead w/1660 chips. The other player is a bit on tilt and very unhappy that he got beat with pocket 4's.

Hand 37 could have been a nice hand if the other player was willing to play. I had picket 10's and the flop was 7h 10h 10s. I have quad 10's!!. I make a min bet, but he just folds. Darn!!

Hand 50. He sucks out on the River. The River gives me two pair but give him a straight. I'd bet 120 into the 1680 pot and he raises me to 680. At this point I should have folded as the board showed an open-ended straight possible, but I didn't. That pleased him.

 Hand 56. I'm BB w/Qh Jh. 975 chips. SB open raises 3 BB (150) and I call. Flop 9h 4c 10s. I have an open-ended straight draw. I bet 50 into the 300 pot and SB raises me to 400, I call. Turn 10h. I now have a straight flush draw as well. I check and SB bets all-in and I call w/my last 475 chips. He shows pocket A's. River 3c. I miss my draws and he wins. He leaves happy that he has "taught" me. :-) I'm just sad my 17 draws didn't work and that I'd not played well overall.
