A few ACR hands

Jumped into a 6-max $.01/$.02 game. Haven't played in awhile so a little rusty. Very tight table and I was playing tight as well so not great dynamics here. Finally get into a hand here.

UTG: $2.81  (141 bb)
CO: $1.66  (83 bb)
BU (Hero): $1.54  (77 bb)
SB: $1.60  (80 bb)
BB: $1.73  (87 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is BTN with A 9
UTG raises to $0.05, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.05, 2 players fold

Marginal call here, could easily be dominated against a bigger ace but I'm in position and get to play this HU as the blinds folded at this rock garden of a table.

Flop: ($0.13) 2 4♠ 6 (2 players)
UTG bets $0.06, Hero calls $0.06

Weak ass 1/2 pot bet that hits my perceived range more than it hits his, so easy call here. Possible A9 could be the best hand against KQ, QJ, etc.

Turn: ($0.25) 7♣ (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $0.15, UTG folds

That's another bad card for UTG. Definitely could be in here with a lot of hands that have a pair + straight draw or 2-pair. Easily gonna bet and take this down.

Total pot: $0.25 (Rake: $0.01)
BU (Hero) wins $0.24

UTG: $2.64  (132 bb)
MP: $1.55  (78 bb)
CO: $1.65  (83 bb)
BU (Hero): $1.58  (79 bb)
SB: $1.80  (90 bb)
BB: $1.73  (87 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is BTN with 9♠ K♠
UTG raises to $0.05, 2 players fold, Hero calls $0.05, 2 players fold

Same villain as the hand before. I call on the button again. This time I wouldn't hate it if one or both blinds came along cause I'm s00ted, but they fold.

Flop: ($0.13) 6♣ Q♣ A (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero checks

This time he checks and I'm not going to stab cause it's a good flop for his perceived range. Could easily be checking a good hand over to me like AQ. Could also have JJ/TT/99 and hate it too, but let's just check back and see what happens on the turn.

Turn: ($0.13) J♠ (2 players)
UTG bets $0.06, BU (Hero) folds

I do pick up a straight draw but it's not great. Pot is small so I just bail.

Total pot: $0.13 (Rake: $0)
UTG wins $0.13

UTG: $1.52  (76 bb)
MP: $1.79  (90 bb)
CO (Hero): $1.34  (67 bb)
BU: $1.73  (87 bb)
SB: $1.82  (91 bb)
BB: $2.72  (136 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is CO with Q A♠
1 fold, MP raises to $0.05, Hero calls $0.05, 3 players fold

Could re-raise this I suppose but at a tight table I'm happy to just call and play postflop.

Flop: ($0.13) 6♠ J♠ A (2 players)
MP bets $0.08, Hero calls $0.08

Top pair with 2nd kicker. Villain leads which means he doesn't hate the flop. AK or AJ have me beat so I don't love it. Not sure how much of his range he's c-betting here. I'm just going to call and take a look at the turn.

Turn: ($0.29) 3♠ (2 players)
MP bets $0.18, Hero calls $0.18

I pickup the NFD to go along with top pair. He shows once again he's not afraid of this board. I can't fold and I don't like raising and potentially getting it all-in with just AQ, so going to call and close the action again.

River: ($0.65) 5 (2 players)
MP checks, Hero checks

Total brickoff and he checks to me. I'm confident I have the best hand now and consider betting but can't see which worse hands could call. So I check it down.

Total pot: $0.65 (Rake: $0.03)

Showdown:
MP  shows  K Q♠ (high card, Ace)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 25%, Flop: 16%, Turn: 7%, River: 0%)

CO (Hero)  shows  Q A♠ (a pair of Aces)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 75%, Flop: 84%, Turn: 93%, River: 100%)

CO (Hero) wins $0.62 

Villain played this hand pretty badly. Too bad another spade didn't come in, would have doubled up.

So that's about it. Played ~55 hands, made a small profit but nothing to write home about. So I'll write here instead.
