Stormy monday

Short update here - I told you I was confident that I was playing well and today it showed directly in my results. Through losing several big pots (KK<{AJ,A8s,JJ} AI on rag flop) I still managed to nearly mirror Sunday's losses. A couple of the bigger (winning) pots:

Anyways, fun stuff. I'm glad I'm back on the winning track, but even happier that I kept my cool yesterday and managed to come back today refreshed through all the coolers and beats. Getting better handling the tilt monster.

EDIT: on a side note, I'm WELL on my way to platinum this month! Wee!
