Default Wildest HU Ride for me EVER...includes a villain fold 9:1 pot odds PF

I've had some wild rides before...but this one is up there for sure....maybe the wildest ride / strangest HU I've ever played....There are other hands of note than the ones I posted...but I posted the best ones.

...Started as a big dog...built back up...HAD SOO MANY chips....and then this hand:

============
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (2 handed) converter

Hero (t10030)
Button (t4970)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
Button calls t300, Hero checks.

Flop: (t950) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t1000</font>, Button calls t1000.

Turn: (t2950) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, Button checks.

River: (t2950) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t1320</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t3320</font>, Hero calls t2000.

Final Pot: t9590

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has 3h Jh (flush, queen high).
Button has 5c 5d (four of a kind, fives).
Outcome: Button wins t9590. </font>
===========

That hand would be a little sick at a full table...but HU?!?
Damn!

The hand after that I pick up JJ and end up losing to bottom two pair. I'm too ashamed of the hand to post it. Why do I insist on slowplaying big pairs HU?!?

The next hand the absolute best part:
=========

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (2 handed) converter

Hero (t810) &lt;=== 210 more than the big blind.
Button (t14190)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
Button calls t300, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t810</font> &lt;===810 all day, 210 more than the BB, Button folds.

Final Pot: t1160


No showdown. Hero wins t1160. </font>
========
WTF?

Now I'm lowstack and pushing EVERY hand 'cuz
a) I'm lowstack
b) Dude folds too much
c) Its all-in or fold and dude folds too much

He folded that hand and the next FOUR hands until this one:
========

Hero (t2760)
BB (t12240)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t2710</font>, BB calls t1910.

Flop: (t4670) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t4670

Hero has 5s 6h (straight, six high).
BB has Kh 5h (straight, five high).
Outcome: Hero wins t4670. </font>
=============

He had me dominated pre-flop, picks up the uber-dominating flush draw too boot...I get a decent turn card, but the river SERIOUSLY gives HIM a straight TOO? That sucks (for him.)

============
Dude folded too much and usually bluffed when he did bet.
=========

<font color="#CC3333">BB bets t800</font>, Hero calls t800.

Turn: (t2850) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t9970

Hero has 4h 5s (three of a kind, fours).
Outcome: Hero wins t9970. </font>
==========
FWIW, I didn't hit a lucky turn. I had the best hand on the flop too...but wouldn't he call with most legitimate hands HU on the river?


After him folding his button nearly every time - or folding to my raise on my button nearly every time for a dozen or so hands...Dude is getting low...

And I pick up...Queens in the Big Blind. Doesn't matter though...he'll fold as always, right?
===========
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t1200 (2 handed) converter

Hero (t12045)
Button (t2955)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t2880</font>
Did he seriously push at me for like the second time HU when I have Queens?
Hero calls t1680.

Flop: (t4635) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Turn: (t4635) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t4635) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t4635

Hero has Qs Qh (one pair, queens).
Button has 8c Tc (high card, ace).
Outcome: Hero wins t4635. </font>
=========

The way this thing was going and the outs he picked up, I expected to lose it on the river.
