HU 50max and a lil reading

So played some 50max 6max with my short buyin of 10 bucks, flipped that over after a buy in or two to be up 10. Then i sat in hu with my 13 dollars, usual buy in amount. A few hands in I get a str8 flush vs two pair and double up, build that stack up to 50 bucks and have a interesting hand.

99xx vs a8xx flop comes down 945 two clubs, I raise he repops I push and he calls of course with his nut flush draw. Turn completes and i get no house. Back to the drawing board, build up to another 40. I was stealing a lot of pots in position mostly with a bet on the flop to take down small flops. I was changing my bet sizing preflop a lot between limps and 4 betting. For the longest time I was in pretty good control and he would only play his big hands on me. I was able to steal a fair amount of time on the river when i missed. Later in the round after he caught me a few times with 2 pair on a missed draw. So he started to change gears opening his range and started to check raise me a few times. By then end of the round i was tired and pulling for strings and went out even for the session.

Some things that I learned is that I haven't been opening up my hand ranges vs constant button raises. I 3 bet occasionally but a lot of times get called. Supposedly preflop your allowed to play most hands hu. I was a little tighter and the only time i would win would be big hand vs big hand. For the longest time he would fold to my min bet preflop. After a while I think i became predictable and was using the same moves without changing gears.

After that a little mad stuck with my 60 br on ftp and still waiting on my rakeback, I started reading plo poker by jeff hwang. Got through all the 8-20card str8 draws and then to the starting hands. I figured out why people love wraps, I always thought they kill your outs, but in reality it gives u redraws to the nuts with wraps. Also just learning the basics in preflop hands and learning that a lot of crap that I played was crap, He's pretty tight in the book and i have no problem following that as i learn this game. I think i leveled last night giving me a better idea of what hands to start with and the ability of putting specific players on certain hand ranges based on there past and actions throughout the hand.

Hopefully I can get a little hot streak and get a withdraw, I am uber broke and still in the 2 digits in my bank account.
