if statement, where's my misconception? :(

Hey guys,

i'm looking at my code and don't see why it doesn't behave like i thought it should.

local buffList = {
    [1] = { id = "5171", name = "Slice and Dice" },
}

local function whoa_showBuff(id)
    for _,v in pairs(buffList) do
        print(v.id.."=="..id.."?")
        if (v.id == id) then
            print("yes")
            return true
        else
            print("no")
        end
    end
    return false
end

And the logging looks like...

5171==2823?
no
5171==5171?
no

What stupid mistake did i do?

Thanks in advance!
