Disastrous weekend

First the fitness front. I did nothing for exercise. I should have went for a mountain bike ride on Saturday morning, but I am too lazy. I used the excuse that I didn't want to wake up my daughter, but the truth is that I was just too lazy to get out of bed. I then thought about hiking yesterday, but instead just slothed around. I am going to have to tread mill for today's exercise, and maybe the jump rope tomorrow. I know that I want to be a fit person, I am just too lazy to do it.

My weekend started off pretty good. I played a 657 person Omaha Hi/Lo tournament and was in 28th place with 200 people left. It paid the top 63, so I was in pretty good shape. I lost 1/2 my stack when my nut str8 got rivered by a flush, and then continued to donk off most of my stack shortly thereafter. I managed to limp into the second break and was getting close to the money. I was pretty short-stacked when I was deal A223 double suited and went all in, I think this was a good move as I didn't have enough money for one rotation and I figured that this could double me up and get me to the $. Alas, it wasn't and I went out in 69th place. Still I was pretty happy with my finish, although disappointed that I didn't cash.

It quickly went downhill. I had a disastrous day at the Breeders cup. I couldn't win a race. That's a lie really. I did win two, but for small amounts. Overall it was a loser.

I then forgot how to play poker. I am having trouble adjusting back to a super-tight style after I had to change for Las Vegas. I entered too often pre-flop and I call too often post flop. I need to re-evaluate my play, and try to salvage the month. I will make an effort this week to play better.
