Had an interesting day that ended on a high note.  I started off the session immediately firing up a $330 hu sng, and a $315 9 man sng.  I was also looking to bring up some full ring or 6 max cash games tables.  However, there was nothing decent going.  In fact, one 2/4 full ring table had 13 people on the wait list!  That is how jammed they were with regulars. 

Due to the lack of good cash games going I played I sat a 3/6nl heads up table.  About 7 hands in I raise Qh6h from the button.  Villain calls and flop comes 9h5h3d.  I bet 30, he check raises to 90.  I thought there was a good chance he was making a move so I make it 260 he shoved and I called.  Turn and river are blanks and he shows A9o for the win.  I'm not too sure either of us played the hand great.  I'm not going to be stacking off worse top pair hands and at best he's a coinflip if we get in.  From my side I'm stacking off with a queen high flush draw; seems fairly marginal, but I though the fold equity would make up for it.

I end up losing both sngs on some unlucky allins.  Additionally, I've lost a few decent size pots at 3/6nl and 5/10nl cash games.  At this point I'm down about 2k and not too happy with how the session is going.  I wasn't tilting though.

Before I know it I won a 2k pot at 5/10nl with a set against a fish.  I registered for 2 more $330 sngs and won both of those.  They are offering 1.5x ffp/vpp on stars for those hu sngs this week so I figured I should play some.  I sneak a peek at my balance and realize I'm close to even again!

I win a few more heads up tournaments and pick up some decent size pots against fish for the rest of the session.  I didn't place in either 9 man $315 sng I played in though.  At the end I was up 2.4k and decided to stop because I was getting hungry.

Turned out to be a great session.  There's nothing like going down early and coming back for a sizable win.
