Didn't really play a whole lot of poker other than the main event. I did put a sick beat on a fairly short stacked guy as he flopped a set on my KK on a jack-high wet board and I 2 outed him on the turn, and I built my stack from the initial 20k to 50k or so by the 3rd or 4th level, but then I got moved to a table that was amazingly soft, but I kept getting run down. KK v. Q8 on queen hi flop, rivers 2 pair; AJ vs. who knows on J87 flop, river's a 9 that also completes a flush draw and he shoves. UTG raise w/JJ, get a million callers AKT flop. Just hands like that destroyed my stack and I limped into day 2 with 11,400 chips and blinds about to be 500/1000 (100 ante) and busted 60 minutes into Day 2 105th out of 307 with 48 getting paid. Shoved T7 from the button w/9BBs and ran into AQ. Had one fairly comical hand an orbit before where the guy makes it 3500 from the button, I shove 10,400 or so w/KQs from SB and he folds. There was a ton of dead money in the pot.
It was pretty fun though and a nice break from the online poker grind, and I'll probably for sure do more APPT/EPT/LAPTs this year. I think I'm fully refreshed for online and ready for a high volume March.
