Want to walk through a 3 hr HU session from yesterday I barely escaped. I was going to take a nap but saw this semidrooler sitting and couldn't resist. Was up 1.25 bi' on him from the day before, he stacks of light so I figure I'm gonna play him tight and just let him ship it in bad when I hit giving up a little equity in the process letting him think he is picking up a lot of dead money by not contestion all the pots I would normally. So, right off he gets this to hold.

Now I'm sort've questioning my decision to stay, but I know he will give al of it back if I can get somewhat deepstacked with him. I was giving up equity by folding a lot of flops to this guy and not raising my tp hands but I didn't care, I knew he was gonna get it in bad when it counted. Finally

After this I sloplayed qq and got punished for 75 bb and then QK on a Q22 board when he went runner runner jj and I paid him on the river. I admit this guy was getting in my head a bit because he was playing verry aggro and overal pretty good other than the fact he would stack off light. So I have my turn check here, but I didn't want qj to be raising me in and I was hoping he would bluff the river.

Probably a pretty standard HU match, thoughts on the KK shove might be helpful, I felt he would stack off with any q and maybe jacks, didn't feel like he had a pair QQ JJ. I know I gave up some equity to this guy in a bunch of spots by not playing back but I was doing my best to play an image where I felt like he would continue to stack of light vs me. Playing to his ego in a way, not getting to confrontational unless I had a monster. Thoughts on this session appreciated, I was very relieved when the board paired on the last hand this match was pretty hard fought, I couldn't play anymore after it was over. Total for this match and the night before put me up 1k on this guy.
What do you think of these hands guys?
