A Lesson Learned in the 5k

Basically today I played my butt off and played really good without much in terms of cards or favorable situations, and then I ended up check-calling my stack off with A6 against Chris Reslock's 53 on a board of A5253. I don't really have a problem with how I played the hand, though most of the money went in with me drawing to two outs and then on the river. The lesson I learned today is you can't play so tight that you have guys raising your big blind with 53 offsuit. If I had shown a little more tenacity in blind defense earlier in the day, I never would have been in the predicament.

At night I made the buy-in back (and then some) playing at some surprisingly weak 25-50 tables. Tomorrow will include sleeping in, perhaps a movie, a nice dinner, and the long awaited fantasy draft.
