2 HU $5 + .25 End 2nd 45 Hands

Not bad play in general, but not good enough to win. He bluffed me once that he showed me. Hand 31 I had pocket 9's. Flop 3h Ks Kd. I made a min bet into the 180 pot,he raised me to 210, and I re-raised him to 390. He had folded a couple of times when I re-raised him like that. This time he decided to re-raise me going all-in w/his last 1080 chips.  I decided to fold and he showed me his 6c 5s. I would have liked to called him but I wasn't ready to risk almost all my chips in that situation and his pattern had been to fold rather than raise, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. That cut me back to 1140 chips.

I never recovered from that and seemed to go into a mostly downward spiral. Hand 44 I had 89o and as SB limped in, BB raised me to 4 BB (160) and I called. Flop 2 A J. No help. He checked and I checked. Turn 10. That gave me an open-ended straight draw. BB bet 240 and I decided to call on the straight draw. River 3. I have nothing but 9 high. BB bets the pot of 800 and I fold. I'm down to 720 chips.

Hand 45. Last hand. I'm BB, SB open-raises 3 BB (120) and I decide to re-raise all-in for my 720 w/Ad 3d. He calls showing Ac Jc. I'm not in a good situation. The board plays out to ALMOST help me showing a straight 5 through 8 BUT it has 3 clubs giving the SB a nut high flush. Any 5 but the 5c on the River and we'd have chopped. That was it for me.
