Well... first day was interesting. Started the day off playing really well and chipped up everywhere. Sadly, we fizzled out near the bubble in everything big.
Eventually, I took 4th in the $3k on BOL with 5 KO's for a total of $270 and actually ended the day with a small $61 profit.
Can't be upset, limited my distractions and played well. I had a few spots that I messed up, like calling off my stack with K9 on 923 board and guy has JJ and stacks us.. or bluffing off my stack on the $25k near bubble when guy x/x the nuts and I overjam river where he has air or nuts only.. meh.

Obviously he has all over pairs there and A9 but his stats threw me off because how aggro he was so I knew I could bluff catch there as well. I guess in hindsight though, what bluffs does he even have there? Would probably find a fold on the turn if I could redo the hand.
Another hand:

Meh.. what the hell am I doing? How can I rep anything when I x/x the flop with this hand. Seeing this again, I think I need to fire flop and turn. Obviously monotone flop kills my action even on a great flop for my hand.. and it makes sense that vill x's back with a middling ace especially when he has no spade. The fact he x/x though... felt like it gave me an opening to overbet the river and steal the pot... obviously that didn't work.
I think if I would of thought about it further, I could of just x/folded the river. I think it makes sense for him to x back the flop with an A if he has no spades and the fact it is monotone on the flop makes our hand tough to bluff with unless we are ready to fire 3 streets.
Overall, happy. Played well other than some dumbass spots where I noticed my mistakes early.

No run this morning, but will get some cardio during work and study a new section, and even run a bit when I get home if I'm not as sore.
