So Danny and I left LA yesterday with not much to brag about. We both play the 5k hu and 5k main event while we were there, and neither of us cashed in either tournament. In the HU, I drew Andrew Lichtenberger aka Lucky Chewy first round. It was definitely a poor draw, he’s a great hu cash player and experienced in live play. However, the structure played to my advantage as the stacks got shallow pretty quickly and I had a clear edge on him 50bb and less play. Sadly I ended up losing to him 2-1 in a best of 3, I feel the matchup was pretty even. Danny also had a poor draw, drawing Justin Bonomo in the first round but Danny ended up owning him 2-0. He drew ADZ in the 2nd and lost 2-0.
In the Main Event, I made it about 4 hours into the 2nd day before busting. I never really got a big stack or any momentum, but I feel like I played the whole tournament quite well (Most people were looking at me like I was retarded, which means I must have been playing exceptionally well).
Here’s an interesting hand from the hu:
1) Hu vs luckychewy about 120bb deep. Chewy had really not 3bet at all when we were 200bb deep at the start of the match, but the blinds had just went up and I assumed he was going to start 3betting lighter. I pick up KQ otb, stacks are 12k effective, 50/100 blinds. I raise to 300 and he makes it 900 or 1000. I Call.
Flop comes AK2 all hearts (I have no hearts)
He cbets to 1200 or so, I call. I feel like since a) He has probably 3bet once prior to this and b) it’s a scary board, he may be inclined to 3barrel here.
Turn comes a 2.
He bets 2800 or so. The 2 actually makes the hand much more confusing. If the board blanked out, I think he would be pretty confident about tripling me off a bad Ace. With the 2 however, every A is essentially the same and I kind of worried that he may shut down thinking it will look like he’s trying to get me off a chop. Still, I had the sense he was wide preflop which means that he’ll have a lot of air when he gets to this point, and he’ll probably want to bluff it.
I call with the intention of probably calling down.
River is Q.
He shoves for what seems to be about pot or a little more. This card is basically irrelevant. I’m pretty sure I’m going to call but decide to review the hand in my head for a second. I look at him and see that he’s leaning back but his eyes are really shifty. He’s isn’t looking at me but constantly moving his eyes to every spot that I’m am not. I feel like this is very weak, it almost seems as if he’s trying to portray that he’s comfortable by leaning back a bit but failing to hide it completely.
I call, he shows 67dd for nada.
