First Post

OK I'll start this off. I'm a teacher about to be off for the summer and figured I'd write about my exploits on here. It will mostly be about poker and running and about other things that happen in my life that are awesome. Since I'm off for the summer, i'll probably be in AC about 4-5 days a week so i'll have plenty to write about. I'll be more detailed in future posts so here is just an intro

I'll start with my session at the Trop yesterday in AC. Played 1/2 NL for about 4 hours and ended down about $100. I played a few hands awfully, picked off a few nice river bluffs and got sucked out on in a huge pot with a set of 6's to a flush draw. Overall not as awful as it could have been.

Then I decided to play the 7:15 $100 + 20 tourney (1 add-on) . 1st place was 10k. about 110 players. With about 60 players left Blinds were 200/400 with 50 ante. I had 7600 in the BB, villian had about 13k. Folded to button, who makes it 1200 and i look down to see AcKd. I push and get called after he thinks for about a minute. He shows QJ clubs. flop A K 6, turn T, bye-bye dwal. OK enough bad beats.

So I recently decided to run the Philadelphia marathon in November. I have never been much of a runner, but figured why the hell not. So today I ran 5 miles in just under 45 minutes. Not too bad and long run of 9 miles will come sunday morning.

Thats all i got for today.
