Kind of annoyed at 2nd, since I had almost a 2-1 advantage going into HU. Villain took the lead early on, but at one point I had a 4-1 chip advantage.

There was a big pot I folded on the river, which gave villain the chip lead, and I don't know if I should have folded.

I could have chopped when we got HU and gotten another $35K or so. Villain wouldn't give me more than a chip chop, and I thought I had a skill advantage. I do real well HU and short handed. His location is LV and he plays only high buyin stuff, so he is probably is a pro, but obviously not an online MTT pro.

Fwiw I thought you played very lazy HU, way too loose/passive and it seemed like you put in chips behind postflop basically every hand you played. You never made valuebets with marginal hands and were basically only winning pots when you called bluffs, and eventually he stopped bluffing you.

Yeh, well I was tired and not used to PL HU and maybe I should have chopped. I won a lot of pots with bluffs, but you didn't see that. There were several times when I floated and won the pot by bluffing on later streets. My style was to let my opponent bet when I was marginally ahead. Some of that had to do with the way he was playing. He was looking to bet, so why not let him bet when I was ahead, rather than bet and have him fold. I played the least aggressively 4-handed and 3-handed and was crushing the table, and a lot of it was by letting people bluff. Villain was aggressive postflop, but not aggressive preflop. He hardly ever called my raises and although I didn't raise that much, a lot of my raises were with marginal hands. Villain did play reasonably well HU, and I probably should have chopped with so much money on the line.
