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

Easter Extravaganza
Since my family isn't big into Easter, decided to head to Borgata for the Easter Extravangaza. $300 + 40, 30 minute levels, 10k chips to start. (110 entered, about 10k 1st) I play very tight the first few levels and never have to show down and get my stack up to about 14k. Table full of absolute stations like your typical Borg Tourney. Blinds are 100/200 and I am in the BB. UTG + 1 (has me covered) raises to 800 and 2 callers in MP and LP, I look down and see KdKh. I pop to 3100, and UTG + 1 shoves. 2 folds, I call. He shows JJ and flop comes 9TJ. No help and I am out after about 2 hours which sucks. Would have had a nice stack too.
I take a quick walk to compose myself and go over to 2/5 NL. They seat me between two friends, to my left has about 3k, to my right has about 4500 (500 max buy-in). To my right is raising every hand (thats my job asshole!) and I get nothing to play back at and they leave after about 20 hands and I haven't played a single hand yet. About 1 round later, I pick up AJh in MP. I raise to 25, new guy to my immediate left goes to 55, CO calls, rest fold. I call the small raise, and the flop comes QcThKh. Wow broadway with nut flush draw, not a bad flop. I have about 470, to my left has about $300, CO has me covered. CO donk bets 200 into the 180 or so pot and i get mad i have to shove and cant get some of 3 betters money as well. He flips AK! Way to play awful buddy!
No more major hands, I start to raise 50% or so, and often get 4 callers who all fold to my cbets with nothing. I leave with about $1700 for about a 1200 profit in only about 3 hours. so up a little more then 800 for the trip. Cant complain.
Happy Easter!

Or if you want to pay in another manner, feel free to e-mail me at the address above or just comment here.
ESPN Mens Tournament Challenge
group: waldstein
password: dwal
Try to get me money before first game (Thursday) if you are interested. If I dont know you personally make sure to let me know your entry name so I know who all the participants are. Usually get 40-50 entries but hoping for more this year.
As far as poker goes, havent been playing too much lately. Final Tables a PLO and got 7th on FT for like $200 after having a huge chip lead. Then was chip leader for 2 hours in the 10k guaranteed and ended up bubbling after losing most of my stack with KK vs AA. Had I won that hand I would have had double anyone else with like 50 left. In the Blogger Tourney's I got 16th on Thurs which really sucked for side bets sake. I shoved a huge draw with AQc into TT on a TK2 board with two clubs. Oh well, sucks to me me like always.
Peace out yo

SHIT!
I just made a post on my blog about how bloggers suck at poker in blogger tournaments. Is this really what my life has become? Not sure what is sadder,
a) that I have a blog
b) that people are reading/have read my blog
c) that people commented about my blog post in my blog about bloggers playing badly in blogger tourneys
