2 HU $5 + .25 End 1st 29 Hands

This session went better. The other player was very aggressive, so I felt I needed to take a more passive approach. The one plus on his aggressiveness is that he would fold some hands pre-flop so that led me to believe when he was betting he likely had something. He did surprise me once here in that he had a weaker hand than I expected.

Hand 14 I was SB w/Ah 4d and 1030 in chips. I limped in w/20 and BB called. Flop 4h 5s Qs. I have trip 4's and an Ace kicker. Nice!! BB bets the pot of 40 and I call. Turn 3d. BB bets the pot of 120 and I call. River 8h. BB bets the pot of 360 and I raise all-in w/my last 860 chips. BB calls. BB shows 4c 7c, also having trip 4's but with only a 7 kicker. I win, he is down to 920 chips.

Hand 15 I was hoping to finish it up. I was BB w/Ad Qh. SB open raises 2 1/2 BB (50), I re-raise to 130 and he re-raises me going all-in w/his last 870 chips, I call. He shows pocket J's (Jc Js). I have two overcards. The board plays out:  5d 5s Jh  8h  4d. He wins and has the lead back with 1840 chips to my 1160. So much for taking him out!

Hand 24. This was the hand he surprised me with. I'm SB w/pocket 7's (7d 7h) and I open raise 2 1/2 BB (75), BB calls. Flop 7c Ah As. I hit my set and a FH with the boards paired A's. BB checks and I bet the pot of 150 and the BB raises all-in w/their 1650 in chips. I think about it for a bit and decide to call, hoping they have no more than trip A's and if they do that they don't hit a FH with them. BB shows Kh Qc. NOTHING. As long as we don't have a KK or QQ turn & river I'll win; well if it's an AA turn & river we chop. Turn Ks. River 4c. Phew. I win. They now have 450 in chips.

Hand 33. I'm BB w/Qc 10h. SB open raises all-in for 390 and I call. They show Ah 7c, one overcard. Flop 5d Js 10s. I pair my 10. Turn 7h. They pair their 7. River Ks. It's over and I win!
