Ran 5 miles this morning, which is the most I have run since the marathon . Was pretty tired but ran it in 47:24 so about 9:20 miles, which isnt great, but better then I thought. Hopefully I get back into shape soon.
On the poker front, been in a rut lately. I havent been playing as much, because when I get in these I usually play my C game and even when I have played well the beats have come. So I'm going to lay back a bit, and just play in the BBT events and some of the steps on stars for the next few weeks.

Foxwoods/BBT
Went Foxwoods this past weekend for the WPT prelim events and hung with lucko and Lj. Fun times. got there Thurs night and wasnt sure if I wanted to play the 1k friday. Sat in 2/5 and was up exactly 1k in about 5 hours of play so figured what the hell and signed up.
1k was decent structure. 50 min blinds, starting stacks of 6k. ~Doubled semi early with a flopped set of 2's against JJ. Then didn't have to show down another hand until Level 4 (25 ante 100/200) and I had 15k in chips, which was the most at my table. I get KK in EP and raise to 700, get 3 callers MP, CO, BB.
Flop K Q T rainbow. I dont like it, but i'm not getting away. I bet out 2k, CO shoves for about 9k. I call, he tables A6d (no diamnd on board) and i am very happy, thinking he had AJ. Of course J comes on river and i am crippled. I fight around for about another level and then lose JJ < AQ. I then start drinking pretty heavily and end up later at a drunk 1/2 table with sucko and LJ. I play awfully and have some pretty sick suckouts. Still only end up about +100 at the table. We grab some food and more booze and I go to bed. I wake up and hang in the room for a few hours and head over to the casino at 11ish. I am hungry and text sucko and he says he will be over at noonish so I hang and play blackjack for a bit. Lose about 600. We grab some food and get back and realize the wait for most things is 100 people deep. We catch a 1/2 PLO/PLO8 game with a seat open and sucko sits and get next. Short while later I get my seat. I get nothing and go down to about 200. Then all of a sudden the table agrees to up to 2/5. Shortly after I go on a sick rush and get up to 1600 or so when this hand happens. Button is the only one at the table who has me covered
So I get AKQQds(no spades)
2 limpers to me and i go to 25 in MP. Button calls, both limpers call
Flop: T J Q (wow dreamy). limper 1 bets 60 L2 folds, I raise to 200, button pots, I repot and it gets in. obv spade hits turn I dont fill up and I lose a 3600 pot. He had AK with nut spade redraw so cant blame him either.
So lose the biggest cash pot I have ever played and dont tilt too badly and buy back in. Game breaks shortly after and I head over to 2/5 NL. 3rd hand I win a big pot with set over set and end up up 1k. So all in all I leave Foxwoods about even.
BBT: Been donking a bit lately. Made an awful AI call with A7 in B v B when I guy had 3 bet me a bunch of time in a row. Also lost with middle set to top set in O8 last night when i should have been able to slow down. my bad.
Been running a bit lately. Sucks that I ran 26.2 miles 4 months ago and now get winded running 3. Oh well, i'll be back in shape in a few months i hope
Peace out yo
